I decided to venture into the topic of smoking and bought myself an entry level electric smoker. I was certain to sneak the purchase by the missus, but it’s difficult to hide a black monolith on the terrace that expels smoke at a visible rate for hours. She knows me so well: she deducted that 1) it’s probably another toy for cooking, 2) it probably didn’t cost much per se but 3) probably will lead to significant investments into more equipment and time in the foreseeable future.

Anyway, first try with beech wood (German standard) and pork ribs. Flavor was good, both “dry” and sauced.
Needs a bit more tenderness and maybe a more complex and expensive setup 😜
