what type of smoker do you have?

i'm looking at getting one and not sure what kind i want. the offset-box smokers look a little cumbersome and appear to have a steep learning curve. the cabinet style look appealing because they seem to be the easiest to manage.
just interested in what others think. i consider myself good at grilling, but i do not have any smoking experience.
i was looking at the backwoods chubby which runs a little over $900.
any other suggestions are much appreciated!!

2 big green eggs (medium and large) and a weber smokey mountain. I did a lot of research, and given many years with all 3, for the money, go WSM, especially now that they offer a larger size with a thermometer. I love my eggs, but I feel real good when I put those briskets and butts on the WSM at 8pm that at 8am the temp will still be 250.

looks like a great smoker.
Insulated. Nice air control.
I dont know that it could hold a temp longer than about 6-8 hours with that little fuel. It is just according to what you want out of one. I wanted a smoker that would hold up to 40 lbs of fuel, so I could do clods or other huge pieces of meat without having to refire or refuel.
But that looks like a great cooker at a really decent price.

i've got a weber smokey mountain...i love it. learning curve was pretty low and i've been able to produce some pretty fantastic smoked meats. bought one for my mom and she loves it as well.

For small smokes I use a Bradley Digital Electric smoker. For larger smokes I use my Lang 48" reverse offset pit...

Well, due to my wife owning a restaurant, I had the good fortune of my wife letting me spend 20k to design our smokers. Here is a link on about.com that published our smokers.

I've heard good things about the green eggs. If you want to spend more, then check out the lang offset smokers. To me, the three main things to look for in smokers are 1) that the unit can retain heat, because you don't want the temp going up and down all day. 2)is a humidity source to keep meats moist, plus the water will help to stabilize the internal temperature. thirdly, try to find a smoker that has an even heat source from left to right and back to front. Every smoker will have a hot and a cool spot, but the more reseach you do will keep you from rotating your meat often Anyway , best of luck
