I'm a little late in joining the party here but I enjoy using my Bradley Smoker. It is a puck type smoker and probably the most expensive for wood options but not terrible (kind of like the difference between reloading partitions vs. ballistic tips or shooting .380's instead of 9mm's and such). They have two basic models which are analog and digital and a couple of different sizes. They do pretty well at holding temps in the winter although they will struggle in the cold wind but do much better than the uninsulated steel gauge types. I cured that by using it in an outdoor storage bin that keeps the wind and snow/rain off. They also have a great forum with recepies and how to's that you can use with any type of smoker.

I also picked up a Traegar Jr. this winter but wanted it more for a grill. I really didn't care for it as a grill but it did do a great job at smoking a briskett this spring. Something about flames and grilling that I can't go without. Since I didn't care for it as a grill though, it's currently listed on CL so that I can finance a chainsaw that I'm looking at .
