...but there are so many types and brands to choose from.

We have a charcoal grill, we have a propane grill. The photos I've seen on this forum of the delicious smoked meats make me want to make this a part of our household.

What do you advise? Which brands are your favorites? Which is better: propane, charcoal, electric?
Any helpful tips or tricks?

Thanks in advance for your help!
