Abstract

An electric food smoker comprised of quickly detachable panels which can be secured together without the use of any special tools or attaching means and some of which panels include interior baffles that can be readily assembled to their respective panels without the use of special tools, all of the panels and baffles being held together by interlocking tabs and slots in the various parts. The electric smoker can thus be readily assembled or disassembled for storing or transport.
