There are various smokers in every price range, size, and shape, but the best is probably the one you have and are using. We have a Big Green Egg, a versatile type of kamado ceramic grill that uses charcoal to give food a tasty smoke and charcoal flavor. Other popular brands include Traeger, Masterbuilt, and even the old-school Weber kettle grill. Pellet smokers, wood smokers, electric smokers, and propane or gas smokers come in all sizes and price ranges.  But no matter the fuel, all use wood to produce the actual smoke.
