Not saying it can be done PB there are some people here have electric ones -- I switched to charcoal Im old fashioned, to me, smoking meat isnt a rush thing, I start the meat in the morning then mow the lawn, wash my truck have a few beers, friends come over because they can smell the hickory or mesquite in the air, have a few more beers etc.... Anyways... The drip pan with water is essential even a mop helps to keep from drying.
If I can answer any Q's shoot me a pm -- Enjoy
