We bought the cheapest one we could. Paid about $50 at Home Depot for a red electric smoker ( I don't know the brand but it looks like a vertical red bullet). It's perfect for what we do which is pork butt. It turns out wonderfully. It doesn't have any bells or whistles. Now that I know how much we enjoy it, I'll probably invest in a better one at some point but we're in no hurry. We've done a small turkey and brisket with great success. Everything comes out moist with a great smoke flavor.
