Electric smokers almost always draw 10–20 amps (we see 15 amps as a common sweet spot) and want 120-volt circuits. Depending on your setup, an outlet already carrying a load might pop the circuit breaker; it might serve you to ring an electrician, especially if a GFCI outlet is in the picture. If you have the means, and don’t mind sacrificing a great deal of flavor, electric smokers turn out to be quite inexpensive to run — compared to charcoal, it’s downright robbery.
