Should I go gas, charcoal, or electric?

What design should I do? A refrigerator style? A kettle? an Akorn? Something with a side box?

ETA:

I think I've decided to pick between the Akorn and WSM. Decisions decisions...

Akorn

I've been following those threads, seems OK and the price is right.

I prefer using charcoal or wood. The WSM is probably the most proven and has the largest following. If you want truly hassle free get an electric smoker.

As a previous poster stated, the upright electrical smokers are really easy to use, and simple to cook food on.


Anybody have any experience with New Braunfels smokers? I was thinking about getting one from them

Here's my WSM. Love it, easy to control temp, good for overnight cooks and recently purchased the DigiQ which controls temp consistently for the cooks past 12 hours.Attaching some pics!
