My obsession with heat and food...JoynersHotPeppers

I have been a long time lurker and finally joined. I figured I'd start posting some of the things I cook or make with the peppers I grow.

First up

This is a Thai Cucumber salad I make with a rare Japanese cucumber I grow, peppers and cilantro are mine as well. I'll take better pictures with the next batch. I have enough stuff right now to do about 10 more 32oz jars.

Using this as a starting point => Smoker at Walmart
 
What size or features otherwise would I want to be considering? ...
 
Benefits of propane versus electric? ...
 
I've never used one ...
I love the electric smoker for lazy days or when you need to set it and forget. I always use an additional thermometer because I never trust the built in one. Mine is only off by 10 degrees, not too shabby considering my barrel smoker is off by 150.

Nice, but where's the Bloody Mary?  I will be watching.  Oh and what are those cakes you made?  Crab cakes?  Salmon?  Hard to tell.
