While you can definitely make amazing smoked salmon recipes using an electric smoker, a pellet smoker such as a Traeger provides some amazing benefits. Some of the newest Traeger models (Ironwood 650, Ironwood 885, Timberline, Timberline XP and Silverton 810) have super smoke mode. At lower temperatures under 225°F, you can produce more smoke which allows the smoke to permeate during shorter cook times. Pellet smokers are also great for consistency of burn with more even temperatures and cooking.
