I know this question has been covered many times but I am too damn lazy to search. Are there any good but cheaper smokers out there that rival the WSM? I want to start smoking but didnt really want to spend that much money on a WSM because I wont have the time to use it as often as I would like.

Coal, electric, and propane brinkmans are all cheap. $69, 99, and 129 I believe.

Tony it's well worth the money. I had never had a smoker and my first smoke was great.

Now THAT is an expert opinion lol. It wasn't the fact of spending that much in general as opposed to spending that much to only use it a few times here and there. But you meat smokers would know best about what works and what doesn't.

I most likely will. Was just seeing if anyone else used something different that works well

A Big Green Egg is much better and costs more as well.

Now that you understand that the WSM is actually cheap, buying one is the inexpensive alternative.

Now wasn't that easy?

Not in my experience. If you just want to smoke, perhaps, but the Egg can do a lot more. It's also not going to rust or corrode away. It is one heavy MoFo though.

FWIW, I felt the same way until I got an Egg.

I got a Brinkman electric smoker (xmas gift).

I was very skeptical but it really works nicely and they are cheap..
