Thinking of buying a smoker

Does anybody have one they like or tips on features or brands I should be looking for? I want to stay relatively inexpensive and I don't need a huge one.

You didn't specify electric or charcoal...

When I had one, I used charcoal (better flavor) similar to the one here:

Here's the electric version:

I'm available...for the right price...

Are you electric or charcoal?

JMC, we have one I think, buried in the garage somewhere if you want to try it to see if you like it. I think it's electric though. Let me know and I'll see if we can find the thing.

Here's a little smoker for you...

Ours is electric and for me at least it is easier to control the heat for more delicate meats or if I am smoking a large piece of meat that takes a long time. I tend to forget that the darn thing is on and the charcoal goes out.

Most likely it is because I am lacking the male gene

Don't forget we have mesquite and hickory wood chips at Mountain Dollar for $1.50 a smaller bags at Kings and Safeway will run you $3.00 to $4.00. So if you happen to be on the Evergreen side stop in.

I had a charcoal one and as much as it is harder the electric just does not compare in taste.

Electric, definitely electric!

JMC, turns out we don't own a smoker. Used to and it was electric, but we gave it away since I don't eat meat and hubby never did anything with it. We do have a dehydrator. That, I could loan you!
Sorry!
