Barbecue Smoker Help

[TigerCheer2009]

My dad wants a smoker for Father's Day. Does anyone know of any good smoker brands to choose from? Any BBQ experts out there?

And what exactly do you fuel a smoker with? Can we buy a bag of charcoal or something? I'm utterly lost.

Thanks

We always had a Little Cheif Top loading smoker. My dad was always smoking salmon (soooooooooooo good) when I was growing up. All I remember of the process is that he had to make a brine to soak the salmon in and that there were really good smelling little wood chips that went in the bottom of the smoker and he had to check those alot. I think it plugged in.
