Spraying apple juice inside the smoker?

[kydigger1964]

Will it hurt the smoker to spray apple juice on my meat during the smoking process?

No... A light spritzing will be fine.

The only thing it will hurt is your temp inside the oven. You will loose a lot of heat every time you open the door.  You can keep a couple of brick in the bottom of the smoker to act as a heat sink and help you recover the heat loss. Or you can do what some of us have done and add a second 500w element or one 900w.

While doing butts and brisket, I always spray apple juice whenever I open the door. I do not open the door just to spray though. Just during rotation of racks, re-filling the water bowl, etc.

Spraying apple juice gives the meat a nice golden color.
