Smokers- electric or charcoal?

I am looking to probably buy an electric smoker in the near future and was curious if anyone out there likes theirs, or should I scrap that idea and get a charcoal smoker?

Is there a reason you want an electric smoker? Like you cannot have a charcoal one? Is it a price issue?

I have a masterbilt electric. I chose electric because it was easier to keep a low steady temp.
Charcoal was a pain, fire too hot, too cold up down add more.
Electric you can set at certain temp and time and not worry. The heating element will turn on and off as needed.
Wood chips provide smoke.

I'm not saying you can't produce some good smoked meats with electric, but there is no comparison to using charcoal and wood. An electric is less work, so if that's important to you, go that route. But if you are looking for taste, there is only one way to go ... charcoal.
