All smoke comes from wood. The easiest smokers to use that are in your price range will be ones that run off charcoal where you add different wood chunks to it.
He asked for easy. Why keep stoking with charcoal when you can have the heated cast iron do virtually the same thing? Having the Dutch oven cracked open with lid on top creates an environment that never catches fire completely because there is not enough air for it to catch. You end up with a nice piece of lump coal or if continue to burn it, it will reduce to ash in the pot. It smokes and maintains and even temp throughout the day.
Yeah it's unconventional but it works. I use this method all the time and kick out awesome food. Y'all go ahead and downvote away though lol

My Bronco is way easier to use than my previous masterbuilt propane smoker

I’ve built several large standup smokers that utilize the exact same principal, and will put the meat that comes out of them up against anyone’s. Guys on here rave about pellet grills that heat pellets via electric elements, and then want to look down on a propane system that heats actual wood. ??

The more I think about this your idea is pretty ingenious. I like the pellet grill because it’s just so easy. But your suggestion is easy too. I’ve gotten to the point though I just can’t eat heavy smoked food. I carry that smoke taste around in my mouth now for days. I’m going to try your method though on a stick burner that has a side box.
