The site's owner Meathead has been building this site for years. It's now a wiki of barbecue.

Personally, I have a WSM 18.5, which is a charcoal smoker. You can also use this as a charcoal grill. I also use a Maverick thermometer, which has a wireless monitor and dual probes, so one for the smoke chamber and one for the meat. If either of those temps varies outside the range you set, the monitor in your pocket alerts you.

I also have a Big Chief electric that is perfect for salmon, and also vegetables, nuts, cheese and pretty much everything that isn't meat, all things that smoke best at 200F and below. The Big Chief won't hold temp above 200F, so it's useless for meats. The charcoal smoker won't easily hold temp under 200F, so I like having both.

I'll probably get a propane smoker next year, maybe the Smoke Hollow 44. It looks like I'd have fun using it.

I've used one of these extensively at a restaurant i used to work for. We treated this piece of equipment BAaad and it still fired up and did good work on salmon and vegetables etc day in and day out.

If you want something cheap that lays on a lot of smoke, look at these two: https://smile.amazon.com/Smokehouse-Products-Little-Chief-Smoker/dp/B000ZKZJMY/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1539126232&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=little+chief+electric+smoker&psc=1

Originally made for smoking fish, these things are great for jerky as well. While neither will fully cook larger pieces of meat, they will put some serious smoke on it and you can finish the cook in your oven or grill. You can also use it as a dehydrator. Just leave out the wood chips. It runs at about 165 degrees F when ambient temperatures are near 75.

As an example, for slabs of spare ribs I put them in my Big Chief and burn 2 pans of wood chips which takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I leave them in for a total of 3 hours and then wrap in foil and move to my pellet grill at 225F for another 2 hours. Unwrap, slather with sauce and give them another 10 to 20 minutes for the sauce to set.

If I did the whole process in the pellet grill they wouldn't have half the smoke flavor and would take just as long.

This is what we got and haven’t had any issues so probably a good starter. I’ve read Big Chief in a few chef books, but haven’t tried it myself.
