I drool over the smokers you guys describe, everytime I see one of them. Not really a matter of expense, but I have gotten so used to my barrel, with the dropped down firebox on the side, that I just don't think with my limited skills I could do any better.
Also, mentioned this in another post, but if you want something different than hickory, or misquite go by a lumber yard, and beg some un-treated oak scraps. Lighter smoke flavor than the popular two, but you can lay the smoke to something for hours without it getting a strong flavor.
