It's not hard to learn how to operate smokers cookers, but you do need to understand the nuances of which wood to use with different meats in your smoker, what types of rubs, sauces and brines to use, and how long to smoke your food. Many manufacturers offer comprehensive training books and videos to help you learn the best techniques for your commercial smoker ovens.
Try: The Sausage Source offers a book "Mastering the Craft of Smoking Food" by Warren Anderson that is a comprehensive guide to the art of smoking with your electric smoker oven or brick oven smoker. Bradley Smoker, a smoke ovens online site, offers training books and videos to help you operate your new smoker oven. Traeger Grills, a manufacturer of electric smoker ovens, offers information on cold weather smoking and much more.

Attend conferences and professional organizations to learn cutting edge techniques for oven smoking

BBQ and smoking conferences often offer competitions for everything from the best sauces to the tastiest smoked meats. They usually offer some great educational resources, too. Attend these conferences to get the most out of your wood fire or electric smoker oven.
Try: The National Barbecue Association (NBBQA) offers a yearly conference with educational events throughout the event. The California BBQ Association offers the California BBQ University every year, with dozens of classes on smoking and BBQ with your commercial smoker oven.

 

• What's the difference between BBQ (barbecue) and smoking? Nothing, really. BBQ usually refers to long, slow cooking over wood smoke with flavorful results. That's opposed to grilling, which is actually cooking directly over high heat for a short amount of time. So, if you're looking for smoke ovens education and training, look for BBQ information for the best instructions on your cooking method.
