Smoker Ovens

Smoker ovens are typically large capacity electric ovens modified for smoking foods like brisket, pork shoulder, and ribs at a low temperature for a long time. They are also called smokehouses, smoke boxes, or barbecue pits. They are often cast iron and can be either portable or stationary. Some models have multiple functions, such as a combination of baking and smoking. Most of these appliances are electric, though some come with a gas or charcoal option. The best smoker ovens have plenty of cooking space. A large one can hold up to a 22-pound turkey. The shelves are usually adjustable to accommodate different sizes and shapes of dishes. The door should seal well to keep smoke and heat inside. The venting system should be easy to adjust to control the level of smoke. The door should open wide for easy access to food. There should be a non-stick surface on the inside of the door for easy cleanup.
