It’s possible to get bark from your electric smoker if you follow certain rules. During the smoking process, you must maintain the temperature inside the electric smoker at a specific range between 225 and 235 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, make sure that there is sufficient ventilation -- open some windows, or operate an exhaust fan -- based on the number of hours the smoking process will take. This allows smoke to flow freely into every compartment to remove moisture in each piece of meat. Remember not to use a lot of smoke wood while smoking beef since its flavor is already strong.
