I agree with AC KT. The BGE is the way to go. In my opinion, this is the best smoker available by far. They will last forever (literally). I recommend the Large size unless you are cooking for lots of people all the time then you might want to consider the XLarge.

As for the smoke, Most meats will only absorb smoke for 1 1/2 - 2 hours hours max. So, putting your soaked wood chips on right before your food it will more than do the job. After that any chips you put on the fire is not going to get into the meat so it is just money up in smoke as it were.

The BGE also give you the ability to smoke indirect and for very long periods of time with the plate setter.

A lot of people are turned off by charcoal grills because of the pain of cleaning out the grill and putting in new charcoal every time you cook, and the charcoal only lasts about 1 hour or so burn time.

With the BGE, the BGE charcoal typically will burn over 24 hours of burn time and you only have to clean out the ashes once very 3-4 times you add new charcoal.

I love the egg and recommend it to anyone in the market. Well worth the money.
