I have always used a simple dry brine of rock salt and brown suger. It has always worked great for me. The delux recipe also works great but I find it to be more of a hassle.

My question is about the little chief on the deck. I have always run my smoker on the deck plugged directly into a wall socket. I have never had a problem or seen any concern with it. I'm now a little freaked out I'm going to burn the place down while napping. So what's the deal. Camofish could you please explain what happened or what the safety issue is. I live in a Condo and cannot imagine not using my deck for smoking and barbecueing.
