Default Because I care about you all...

I need you to go out and buy a stovetop smoker. I personally recommend the Emeril Cast Iron one. It comes with chips and everything.

I didn't really love fish...till now.
I was kind of burnt on chicken...till now.
My lean ground burgers were good...but now amazing.

No condiments.
No oil.
Hell I could take away the pinch of Kosher salt.
Just the best damn tasting food without seasonings I have ever had.

One of my clients was this close to decapitating me during face pull...until now.

Smoker.
Go get one.

So, let me get this straight. You like the smoker? Kind of hard to tell in your message

Can this be used this indoors?

Ha Yes it is an indoor thing, hince the beauty.

Seriously though I had personally never heard of one until stuck waiting outside a borders skimming through the "please steal our books section". I saw this cookbook on smoking. So I thought why not, could make my food taste good. I come from the idea of if my food don't taste good, I don't eat it which is why I come up with so many recipes. Anyway I tested it out and it was one of those "where have you been all my life" moments.

Uh, a potential 'rain on the parade' question here. Aren't smoked foods associated with fairly high levels of carcinogens? I seem to have some vague recollection of something to that effect. Does anyone know if there is any validity to this? Have to get back to work or I'd Google it myself.

There can yes be issues with that depending on how you prepare it. A lot of the studies done though were with questionable materials and high levels of heat which isn't recommend for that style of cooking anyway.

Even if I saw a study (which I haven't yet) that says smoking my chicken could possibly be bad, I am going to have to choose it anyway

Amazon has one, as well... pretty damned cheap, too (36.95, free shipping)

Find it here:

100% agree with Leigh. This thing is DA BOMB! I am having a caesar salad with unbelievably tasty smoked salmon (I recommend alder for the woodchips) for lunch.

YUM!

Excellent! I hope you enjoy it and that others learn from your decision
Seriously though isn't it the best calorie free flavor adding ever?

It is GREAT, other than--and here's my first criticism--the friggin' lid pops and won't seal, smoke comes out from under the edge, and thank goodness (OK, maybe not) that my smoke detectors aren't ultra-responsive.

I'm going to go for the Emeril one next; it's a hundred bucks but it's heavy cast iron so shouldn't be an issue like the one I'm having, darn it... I did smoke a turkey breast and tilapia yesterday, so it's not as though it limited me, just stunk up my apt bldg.

Tina: glad to hear your review! I was thinking of getting this for dh for Father's Day (nothing like last minute) but the Emeril one is the only one I'm finding in local stores and I wasn't sure if I wanted to go $100 or not. Now I'll have to think some more. I also read a review that they may not be good on flat top electric stoves. Any thoughts?

I got the one that I posted the amazon link for in post #10 (says find it here)... it's a cameron stainless steel one. Nice and light--TOO light. The emeril one is twice as much at least but I believe all clad makes it.

Brenda, I think you have to be VERY careful on a flat topped stove due to it scratching it up. You may want to actually go with the lighter weight one in that case... crap, I'm on the fence.
