Lol...I'm devious that way!    What they don't know sure won't hurt them!  You can produce some killer "faux" smoke rings with a little proper application of curing salts (a whole other subject), and they'll never know the difference.  Since BBQ is really about smells and presentation, you hit them with the mental picture, and sensory perception, of the "real" smoker.  Then, they see what "looks like" "real" BBQ, and they're hooked!!  I got a look inside the kitchen at my local Rib Crib, and notice that it's full of commercial electric smokers!  Sometimes, perception is closer to reality than anything else!

That's great, Jim!  If I had a restaurant, I'd probably have a couple of #4s in the kitchen, and an old offset stick burner out front, with wood burning in it only...folks would never know the best Q they ever had was made indoors, the Lazy Q way!

oh that is a beautiful Idea
