ML, I have a Brinkman Gourmet electric which I would highly recommend to anyone interested in smoking edible delicacies. The best way to describe it would be to imagine R2D2 clad in red! It has an electric element in the bottom amidst small lava rock. The element has no temp adjustment but maintains a steady 135 to 140 degrees Farenheit (you don't want high heat) The steady heat output is the primary reason I would recommend it, because charcoal smokers tend to vary in temp a lot more. In addition, it has 2 racks and a water pan - which is another great feature (it can be removed for dry smoking or left in for moist smoking - yum)!
I use it for baby-back ribs, turkey breasts, hams, fish, fruit, veggies and they all smoke up perfectly.
They can be purchased for about 55 to 60 bucks at most hardware stores and discount retailers or outdour outfitters. If you get one let me know and I'll give you a tip or two for added flavors.
