An excellent choice, but a bit more expensive, would be one of the many high-tech pellet smokers with precision digital temperature controls. They burn small pure sawdust pellets about the diameter of a pencil and function as thermostatically controlled outdoor ovens with smoke. Just set the temperature and walk away.
Small portable pellet smokers start at about $400, and full- size smokers about the size of a gas grill start at about $700. We gave high marks to the full-size Grilla Silverbac Alpha (below).
