Who's got one and how do you like it? This will be my first smoker.

I have the 30inch electric smoker. It works fine, is consistant. The smoker box is small though. What i don't like about it is the small pan for catching fat. I set it on 4x4's on sawhorses and catch the fat in a large vegetable can or cardboard box.
Its nowhere large enough to hold the grease from even 1 chicken. I cooked 2 23 lb turkeys on it. That is about the max it will hold.
I put my turkeys on an offset chargriller smoker for and hour first before going in the electric smoker to finish.

I've got one and so does my dad. Both of us like them. It might not be the "best" way to smoke but it's easy and tastes good.
I love my Masterbuilt. Its got a remote thats powered by batteries,glass in door to see the smoke too. Got it for 240 at academy sports last September
my friend got one and had quite a few cooks. If you're smoking long, such as a brisket, you need to get the smoke generator attachment, otherwise you'll have to add smoke every 45min or so.
I think it does a fine job, especially without the babysitting you need with fire; however it is not quite the same depth of dry smoke flavors as you get from smoke from full burning wood/coals.
The electronic display may go out or be inaccurate on the unit. but if you're into bbq/smoking at all you'd be using a bbq/oven thermometer anyway to back yourself up

+100000000 they are great.
Have one the wife uses. I guess she likes it as she has never said anything negative about it to me. I like the foods that come out of it.
Early use she said easy to set (digital temp) and adding smoke chips don't have to unlatch & open the front like our previous old smoker.
