re: Need recommendations on a smoker

Need some more info from you,
What is your experience level with smoking?
What are you planning to use your smoker for? Strictly smoking or grilling as well?
How much money are you looking to spend?
Pros and cons
Traditional wood burning-
Pros) Better flavor than the other 2. Don't have to worry about plugging it in or running out of propane. Feels more manly.
Cons) A lot more work than the other 2. Takes time to learn how your pit is going to run, can be a PITA looking after temp, etc. Would not recommend if you're just starting out.
Gas and electric
Pros) easy, set and forget.
Cons) parts will wear out faster than a traditional smoker.
amazingribs.com is a great resource with a ton of reviews and way more info than you need on the different types of smokers, etc. I would definitely check them out.

This is where I did a good bit of my research. Unbiased reviews on everything concerning BBQ. I went with The Good One Open Range, but I like to mess with it some. It holds the temp pretty tight once it's set, just have to worry about charcoal and wood.

How much money are you looking to spend? My wife got me a brinkman charcoal smoker and I'm trying to decide if i want to upgrade to an electric. Max $350
I was looking at the Bradly smokers and they look really easy and convenient to use.
