just my , from charcoal/wood guy.

Go with a Weber Smoky Mountain. Great flavor, easy to use, and they hold value. If you need to speed up the process, you can always pop the meat into an indoor gas or electric oven to finish off the cook (which are much more efficient than an outdoor propane/electric oven sold as a smoker).

A ceramic such as Primo, egg, or other kamado style ceramic work great and I would like one too, however it is hard to justify their initial cost.
