Hmm, my lunch of yogurt seems quite inadequate now.
I had an electric smoker, it was cheap, and I sure got what I paid for. There was rapid heat loss,and if I was trying to smoke when it was below 70 degrees, I had to wrap the whole thing up. Also, it had a poor design in that if more water was to be added to the pan, the food had to be removed. Also, the cover never fit snugly enough into the base section, so extra wrapping was necessary there. That said, with fussing and tending, some fabulous pork and beef came out of that smoker.
I then switched to an inexpensive vertical Brinkman that uses charcoal. I do like the ease of the design- the door opens and it is easy to inspect what's happening and make needed adjustments. Keeping the charcoal running at a good temp really isn't too tedious, but it is something to pay attention to. So far, I have been very happy with the results.
We also have had very good results with our simple Weber, building the fire as suggested in Cook's Illustrated, and finishing the meat in the oven once the smoking aspect is done.
MI-Roger is right, the cleanup with charcoal can be a pain, but I don't notice a lot of gunk- but I have only used a dry rub on the different meats.
