I have the electric one also, I think it gets to hot for smoking ribs and other meats as the internal smoker temp reaches 350 deg. but I like to cook/smoke at around 225-250deg other than that it's a nice smoker easy to clean (pieces fit in the dishwasher with top shelf removed). I did find a cake cooling rack that fits where the electric element sits so I can use wood or charcoals in the smoker.
Note:
I did learn how to smoke ribs on my Weber gas grill that are every bit as good as the ones I do in the smoker. (the temp is easier to maintain) and clean up is easy
