Had a few people over for dinner on Halloween and it was my first chance to try out my Trager as a smoker. It worked wonderfully well: flat iron steak smoked for 45 minutes and then finished off at high temp on the grill. You can see the smoke ring on these slices. Delicious!

I was unfamiliar with this kind of smoker, but ran across them when looking for some kind of an electric grill as we are not allowed to have charcoal or gas grills. My little Trager uses electricity to fire up and feed wood pellets, so no electricity, no fire. It does not get as hot as my previous gas grill, but I am willing to trade that for the low temperature smoking capability.
