Would this product be ideal for smoking meats? I need something durable to handle the outside elements

Never used it for smoking meat. Off hand if you use care to keep moisture out of connections it should work OK.

I use mine for smoking. Just don't get cable were it goes into probe wet. That's how most probes fail.

Durable enough, but I onlly use it for lighting hookah charcoals. It does feel a little flimsy but it works well for my limited purposes. Not sure how long. It would hold up for as a stovetop

My decking is wood but I have not noticed high heat below the smoker and have not seen any wood discoloration. My guess is you should be OK but you could put the smoker on a small piece of plywood to be safe.

Well, it is a good tool - when it works. Mine worked great for 2 smokings, but the barbeque probe just went bad on the third session. I would upgrade to the good probes. It's quite convenient (when it works) having a remote temperature reading to carry around anywhere while the smoker works away!

We use this outdoors - but if you this indoors -I would elevate the smoker on something metal also it would be best to talk with the manufacturer

This thing is the best, u can use it as a stand alone smoker but it will not cook ur food just put smoke flavor in it, also known as cold smoking. As for lighting it just use one of those little propane torches that plumbers use it's easy to get going just make sure ii blow on it to get the pellets lit. And with it packed full I get 4-6hrs of continuous smoke excellent buy for 20$

Never had any problem I suppose you could get it to smoke if you had a lot of meat at very high temp or a lot of bbq sauced burning on the grill.

The electric smokers work on the same principle as the stove top ones, so it should be fine. In this case, though, you might go through an awful lot of chips because of the size of your smoker. The chips are tiny, some of them almost like sawdust, and are designed to work best in small spaces. I think larger chips would be more cost-effective over the long haul, especially if you plan to do a lot of smoking of large cuts of meat. In your place, I'd use larger chunks of wood.

hoyt, depending on your use, it could last you a couple of years. It comes preloaded with the liquid smoke. If you plan to use it a lot, like several times a week, I would buy an additional container.....

It depends on what you call a regular smoker, most smokers take a certain form of wood and it lets you know that when you but the smoker, however these would be quite pricey if you did them for a brisket because you would need such a large amount. These are for small jobs with and indoor smoker. I would continue to look for something else if you are looking for wood for an outdoor smoker.

I use mine on my back porch under the roof when it is raining and it works fine with no problems! I have found that if you close the top vent on the smoker it will still smoke the meat or fish or??? adequately with only a small stream of smoke coming out the top. Have never had a fire!

Same as the others have stated. Outside only. Maybe under an Umbrella or a completely open shelter type structure in a park or a car port, if the weather turns on you. The SilverFire hunter stove is a good option for venting the smoke outside. That requires modifications to your structure of course. Do you have a fireplace?

Not advisable. These sticks are for outdoor use only. Not only will it be a fire hazard but the amount of smoke it generates will cause respiratory problems in an enclosed area.

Sure it will work as a smoker, you would have to monitor just like any other charcoal grill The propane is only for starting.

I would not recommend this for that type of smoking. It's designed for a cold smoke rather than a hot smoke. Flavor, not cooking.

I don't think so. I also have an outdoor smoker and you need larger, thicker pieces of wood because the smoking process is much longer than about 20 minutes. They would burn out way too fast. I don't know what size electric smoker you have, but I'm guessing it can hold a lot more than a stove top smoker - if it DID work, you'd need a LOT of these type of chips. These are shredded, not chunks. I hope this helps.

This wold be for a cold smoke application as it does not produce enough heat to dependably cook something. I use it in my BBQ prior to finish cooking.
