Barbecue purists tend to turn up their noses at gas-powered smokers. I don't believe that this is because they cannot turn out great smoked foods, but because there are too many poorly designed and basically cheap gas smokers on the market. I have put together this list of the 10 best gas smokers for sale today for those who want a simple and easy to operate smoker but don't want to be tied to an extension cord.

Smokers are amongst the most diverse products you can buy. Partly because of the number of fuels or energy sources they can use and partly because smoking can mean anything from traditional barbecue cooked around 225 degrees F to cold smoking for things like fish, cheese or jerky that can be done as low or lower than 60 degrees F. Most electric smokers try to do it all and this can be their strength or their weakness. The great strength, however, of a good electric smoker is its automation. Most good, and generally more expensive, electric smokers let you select a temperature, and even a time and you load it up and turn it on. They are nearly as easy to use as a microwave.

Kamado Grills claim a legacy going back thousands of years. Typically these grills/smokers are made of ceramic shells, but at least one is all metal and others use a variety of stone like materials. This gives these charcoal grills excellent insulation, high efficiency, and the ability to hold very high and very low temperatures making them perfect for grilling and smoking. A good Kamado Grill is durable, has good support and quality components. These 10 Kamado Grills range in price from over $500USD to nearly $4,000USD and come in a variety of sizes and colors.
