 When it comes to smoker BBQs, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind. First, consider the size of the smoker you need. If you're cooking for a large crowd, you'll need a larger smoker. But if you're only cooking for yourself or a small group, a smaller smoker will suffice.

 Second, think about the type of fuel you want to use. Wood smokers add an extra layer of flavour to your meat, but they can be more difficult to control than pellet,  gas or electric smokers.
 
Third, how much free time do I have? Some smokers require constant attention to help maintain a stable cooking temperature.
 

 
Fourth, decide how much money you're willing to spend on your smoker. Smokers can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, so it's important to set a budget before beginning your search.
