...There are options.
Is your smoking space limited to an attached patio or deck?
A gas grill can be a very good smoking platform. I use a pellettube (OK that may be stretching the NO wood rule) in an indirect heating meaning meat over burner 3 and only running burner 1 for heat. I use a...
Nice look lox. The recipe and procedure is simple and straight forward.
Since we are have 32F temps here at night lately I may try an early morning cold smoke with just the pellettube and see where it goes. Hopefully, with enough air flow, I can keep things below 85°F.
Check out the Grilla Chimp 2.0 tailgater.
Big enough to do 2 large steaks, 4 pork chops, 6 burgers.
Has a top shelf. large enough to do sides in a foil pan.
Can bake if needed.
Has a Smoke mode. Probe included

As long as the smoking chamber is above freezing and below 80 F you should be fine. It depends on the smoke generator you use. My tube raises temperatures by about 10 to 15 F in my Weber Genesis. If it is still too cold, put a large bowl of hot water in the chamber.
Beware, wet pellets can turn into something almost like cement which can freeze up an auger. Having gone through this once (because I was lazy) I now never leave any pellets in the smoker. My MAK has a pellet dump door plus I let the smoker continue to burn up what's in the auger tube until it...
...will dissipate less in the air once it clears the tube? I might just be overly concerned with neighbors being bothered by the smoke but we are allowed gas or electric grills and I don't think it'll smell much stronger than a gas grill with a pellettube, which I do not believe I'd get any...
...smoking cumin seed and whole peppers or ground versions of both?
Never smoked cumin. I thought it adds enough of a natural smokiness.
I've smoked whole paprika peppers but never the powder.
As Ryan @Brokenhandle suggests use just a pellettube or pellet / dust tray for smoke. Don't need any...
I run a MES40 Gen 2 since 2013. I recently added a mailbox mod with pellettube or maze which solved many serious problems. I recently looked into a PID, but was not sold with advantages of steady temps over the usual +/- 20 degree swings electric smokers are known for. Our kitchen oven works...
Love my pellet grill. To me the best thing about it is being able to get a lot better skin no chicken. I like to do 1hr of low smoke on any poultry with bones and then crank it to 310 until finished. Sometimes I wont even do the low smoke.
Also if you find you want extra smoke flavor, you...

I've got a different pellet pooper. They have their place and time.
Get a pellettube to amp up the smoke flavor.
Looks good
Got a few more weeks before cold smoking down here.
I use a kettle with Norm's (@normanaj) u bolt mod on a pellettube to keep it above horizontal. and away from the product.
Just opened the first packages of cheese smoke last winter. As @Coreymacc they need to mellow. I prefer...
Thanks for the information it's greatly appreciated I figured the smoke flavor would be consistent with pellet smokers..my friend puts charcoal and wood chunks in a cast iron pan and gets it going outside of his grilla mammoth and then puts it on the difuser?I might have to try that but do have...
...maze. I’ve never ran into an issue with wind since it’s sealed pretty well I wouldn’t imagine you will either. If you go the route of a pellettube or tray I would use the chip loader halfway out for better air flow for it assuming since your in an apartment and probably not much room on the...
I personally don't like any charcoal flavor on my smoked meat. A pellet pooper and tube is my hot smoke option. I use my Big Chief with a pellettube only for cold smoke.
I'll tag @JC in GB as I know he has a Stumps gravity and does bacon. Not sure if both.
Step by step for those who have not cooked beef ribs, or want an easy way to do it. There are many ways/methods to cook beef ribs; this is mine.

Start with a plate of choice beef ribs from 44 Farms. (~4 lbs.for a three bone plate)
Trim the silverskin, and remove the back membrane.

...that has common sense to drive south for the winter
Got the tongue in check. Sorry for the health issues. Not much experience with the less smoking options outside of my after my Big Chief electric that died a few years ago.
I do use the facility gas grills to smoke using a pellettube.
...be mixed in with the charcoal for a better smoke flavor... I see most of the complaints of pellet poopers is not enough smoke flavor so a pellettube is also added to create more smoke flavor... Also I've seen numerous fails with pellet smokers from the pellets drawing moisture and swelling...
