Cajun Injector Gas Smoker Rating

Energy Ratings

• The Cajun Injector gas smoker has an overall energy rating of 8,000 British thermal units per hour. This is comparable to the energy produced by a room or window air conditioner. The smoker has a low-pressure hookup for propane gas. The smoker is CSA rated, which means it meets Canadian Standards Association standards for outdoor cooking use. An electric version of the smoker is also available.

Temperature Settings

• As different types of meat require different cooking temperatures, there is a temperature dial on the smoker that can be adjusted as desired. Smoking temperatures range from 150 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, as different types of fish and meat should be smoked at different temperatures to achieve the desired results. Smoking techniques and recipes can be found on the Cajun Injector website, CajunInjector.com.

Cooking Capacity

• In addition to smaller items such as sausage and jerky, the Cajun Injector is big enough to smoke larger meats, such as a turkey for a special meal. According to the outdoor outfitter Cabela's, the turkey should be no more than 14 pounds in size. This is because the smoking process takes a long time and larger turkeys may not be cured thoroughly and safely.

Specifications

• With two separate chambers, one for food and one for the wood chips, the Cajun Injector smoker is not a small device. The overall dimensions are approximately 40 inches high by 20 inches wide by 17 inches deep. At almost 50 pounds, the weight should be considered prior to shipping due to potential increased shipping costs.
