Title: Pressure cooker/smoker
Post by: Soonerlongbow on January 04, 2013, 11:15:00 AM
I got a new toy for Christmas, an Emson Pressure Cooker/Smoker. This thing is great! I've done hot smoking of both chicken and beef ribs inside of 30 mins, and also used to make venison chili in total of 45 min. Awesome would be an understatement. Could be a tad bit bigger but does the job.

Thanks for the info.  This may be right up my alley - not too expensive but may do the job.  I guess you got the smaller of the two types?  What part of OK you from?  I lived in Tulsa for a long time, probably too long!
Take care,

It's $150ish at Wally World, not the $250 msrp. As far as I know I got the only size offered, didn't find a bigger one but would be nice though much bigger would take up a lot of space. This one is same size as most electric slow cookers.


Currently SW OK near Lawton, originally from SE OK from McAlester.

Is this essentially a regular pressure cooker with smoking unit in the main chamber?  Doesn't the steam of pressure cooking affect the smoke production?

Not really. It has a 1/4" steel rod much like a 3" long wood burner except it's round. The charring cup sits on it and holds several small pieces of wood. Requires approx half cup of liquid to generate the pressure.

So far works great.
