Hello I've been smoking on a side firebox
charbroil from Home Depot for about a year.
But I get tired of refilling the coals sometimes
during the ball game and I started to look at
some electric smokers.
I found some that advertise as "insulated"
and "sealed" to prevent drying of the meat.

My question is .... do these type smokers release
smoke thru a vent or are they in fact sealed?

None are completely sealed. What they have is a fixed size
vent, usually a single hole in the top of the cabinet. This
is one of the major disadvantages of this type of unit because
you can't vary the draft.

I agree.
I love to bbq/grill/smoke but can always depend on my DVR when I pause the
game while i"m tending to the grill/smoker.

Check out the Electric Pro Smoker from Cabelas.com, It is a great unit
built by the Masterbuilt Company. I have been using one for almost 2
years and it is fantastic. Feel free to write me direct if you need
some more info on it. Masterbuilt makes a great electric smoker and the
temp is adjustable. If you are satisfied with the results of any cooker
you use that is all that is important. Mike
Thanks!!!
