They have a small pan above the heating element for wood chips or pellets.
A Weber Smokey Mountain will hold heat for 7-10 hours before you need to stoke it. I'd go that route before I bought an electric one. I'm sure that type does fine as well though |

I have a Brinkmann charcoal smoker but it requires tending too every few hours for the 8-10 hour smokes I do for a pork butt. So I don't want another charcoal smoker even though I do know the Weber one is better. I am just looking for an alternative for when I want to smoke day or night with little to no monitoring.

I've seen these used by a couple of competitive BBQ teams.

Yea I too was looking at Masterbuilt one's but it seems it's very hit or miss on how long that heating element will last.

Wow, those wood Bisquettes get great reviews as well with the Bradley Smoker. Self feeds the wood every 20 minutes into the smoker. Looks very easy to use and has pretty decent reviews although it does have complaints of cheap parts and people needing to replace doors and such.

You can set it to feed wood, heat up or down as fast or slow as you want. Start it quick, back it down, bring it back up to finish whatever. I set it and forget it. But, that takes practice if you never worked with electric smokers. You will need to run it once to cure the smoker. I'd suggest another run with some kind of cheap meat like chicken thighs. There is a thread on here where electric smokers were discussed for hundreds of pages.
