I am not trying to be an a$$ here, what is your budget? You might start looking at the Masterbuilt electrics, and work your way up to the Smoke Vault series dollar wise. Neither smoker is perfect, but one might be better for your needs than another. Try Smokingmeatforums.com, there are opinions of almost every smoker made both electric and propane to give you an idea of what to look for, or not look for.
