I have an old Outers smoker. The electrical unit burned out long ago, so I just gutted it and use charcoal briquettes for the heat source. I put my wood chips in the little "frying pan" right on the coals. I like alder chips, but mesquite and hickory are all good. The smoke is heavy, and the heat plenty good to cook them as well. If I have as many as 3 racks in there, I usually rotate the top with the bottom after about 45 minutes, so as to make sure that top one gets cooked enough. Delicious!
