I saw a recommendation for the Meco electric smoker and grill combination and decided to buy it. I then spent the whole year learning how to make barbecue sauce and spice rubs from scratch, and then applying this to grilling and smoking like a pro. The important thing is to keep the temperature between 210 and 230 and you will be rewarded with great flavor. The Meco works great because it is simple to keep it right there. With the doors closed and the heat all the way up I get it just the way I like it.

I recently had a family gathering and decided to smoke some ribs and brisket, and everyone raved about how they came out. I really feel like I’m getting the hang of this smoker grill and look forward to firing it up as often as I can. One thing I would recommend is to get a quality grill thermometer (like one from Weber) and drop it into the top vent so you can see the numbers good. I have found that the Meco thermometer in the front of the unit doesn’t really work all that great. Not sure why they even put it there but oh well.

And also don’t stress out if you stack the pieces and there are some gaps between them as it will still do a good job of keeping the temperature where you want it. All in all this is an awesome electric smoker that works as good as any other I have seen. I didn’t want a charcoal unit because of the extra work involved. The electric water model is easy to get things right without too much work. Plus you can’t argue with the low price.
