Water smokers are becoming more and more popular because many are less expensive than their wood smoker counterparts and take less time maintaining the cooking temperature. Water smokers can be either electric or charcoal fueled. Usually, the fuel source is located beneath the meat.
The water is used to create steam which rises and combines with the smoke to baste the meat continuously. The water droplets fall on the meat where they roll off and then into a water pan. Generally, the cooking time of a water smoker is 400% more than a non-water smoker.
