Limit smoke time to maybe 1/4 of cook time.
You get different flavors from electric or burning wood.
Electric smolders wood, with no oxygen, actually making charcoal.
If you get too much smoke, it will taste funny.
I could cook but to for 8 hours over wood. The smoke was strong, but it tasted right.
Electric smoke can tasted like wood some does if you don't supply enough air.
It gets a sooty, acrid taste. It actually gives the impression of hot peppers, but in a weird way.
For ease and simplicity, electric is tops.
Results can be quite good, but never the best.
Very good advice. I made smoked polish sausage lat year in my electric smoker. I kept adding wood chips through the entire cook. That batch of sausage was inedible. Tasted like an ash tray. The other concern is temperature validity. Mine runs about 30’ less than what I program it for. Consequently, it took way more time to cook than it should. After learning the hard way, I used much less smoke and bumped up the temperature and things turned out great this year. Mine is the 40” masterbuilt.
