Any of you food smokin' lunatics in Lo-Cal So.Cal. [where the money is plastic & the people are too?] I've got a NIB MasterChef electric smoker [won via radio marketing last November] that I'll sell you for $125 [best price I've seen was $170 black friday special on Amazon.] I keep meaning to put it on Craigslist but if a CB member wants it, I'd rather give you the deal...
I want to go ahead and call Bologna on anyone who says charcoal is too much hassle. I can cook 12 hours on a load of coal without adjusting anything on my weber smoker. Not to take away from gas or electric, but to correct some untrue statements.

Yup the weber Smokey Mountain cookers are very efficient and easy to control charcoal smokers
Went to the meat market the other day and got a packer's cut brisket. Trimmed the fat cap, rubbed her down, put her in a vacuum food suck bag and in the fridge overnight.
Friday was spent smoking the brisket with mesquite "cowboy charcoal" and pecan wood. I also threw some bacon wrapped asparagus on the upper rack nearer the fire box.
It was a good 4th.

For those who want a smoker but are low on funds... http://www.thesmokering.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13224 works as well as a Weber Smokey Mountain and many have been built.
Mine is a gas Mastersbuilt Elite.
Had some friends in from Wisconsin last week.
Smoked a batch of ribs Tuesday.
Threw 4 home made pizzas in Thursday.
Smoked a couple briskets up Saturday.
Man them briskets are good. Better than any prime rib I've had.
Brisket has far more flavor than any prime rib ever will. Next would be a smoked chuck roast, they pull just like pulled pork. Tonight's supper off the Traeger smoker. Smoke baked potato and a chicken leg quarter both hot smoked at 375

All my CastBoolit BBQ friends need two or three of these.

This is on my short list of things to smoke.
Have you priced one of those?

Holy cow, I have enough trouble budgeting for my gun hobby...
I'll say! Glad there's a market base to support those fine products.

Those who complain about charcoal are the one's who don't understand it's proper use.

If I am willing to spend hours in a hot garage casting boolits, 20 minutes drinking a beer while I watch the chimney starter is nothing

Try feeding a wood burning BBQ pit for 24 hours, add wood every 30 minutes to keep a small hot clean burning fire. Note the thin blue smoke coming out the upright section. Heavy white bitter smoke is bad, clean burn is what you want for the best food.
I think I'll give my smoker a rest this weekend. Teaching myself how to use this thing has filled my freezer with more "homework" than I'll be able to eat for awhile. Still haven't done a brisket and there's a venison or pork loin in the freezer.
I get along OK with charcoal but most days it's too windy to use it in my outdoor kitchen. Someday I'll learn to use it properly and maybe even build a windbreak...but some folks think I break enough wind already.

This is exactly why brisket over a wood pit, is a labor of love. A LOT of work. My ribs go about six hours. Brisket can go 12 hours easy.

I'm not a fan of Myron Mixon, but we bought his book and tried his brisket recipie a couple of times. With hundreds of championship wins, how can he be wrong?
We think it is AWESOME.
6 1/2 hours and its done. Very, very juicy and you can cut it with plastic ware. Excellent flavor.
Longer and slower a piece of meat cooks the better the flavor and texture. I can rush it but it is not as good.
