Thanks in advance...

Frank;
As an alternative to Charcoal/Propane fired smokers, I elected to buy a Cookshack Electric Smoker:
http://www.cookshack.com/residential-barbecue-smokers. Link is w/f/s
While all use wood to produce the smoke, after reading months of reviews, I elected the easy man's version of a smoker.
The Cookshack uses a heating element to smoke the wood, is very well insulated, and you can almost set and forget, depending on the model. I've had since May, would buy again in a heartbeat.
We that said, you can get great results with any smoker as it's not the smoker, but the smokee.
BTW, unless I'm in a "real" BBQ joint, I refuse to eat smoked meat out, it just doesn't compare to smoking your own.
BTW x 2, when I show up at a party packing some brisket or pulled pork, the people tell me over and over, how dang good it is and how it's some of the best meat they ever had. I just smile.
Good Luck.
