Don't forget to look at Cookshack. I have one and it uses regular wood chunks (unlike the Bradley) and you don't have to continually add wood like you do with the MES. 3-4 oz's of preffered wood in the box is plenty for a 18-20 hour smoke without ever havning to do anything.

I have an older model and I hear they have a new model that is wider than the 009 that I have. That is the only complaint I have about my Cookshack is the width, it can be tricky to smoke a large Brisket or racks of ribs.
 
I have had my M.E.S. since Feb. 2007 and not 1 problem with it, I have done a lot of smokes in it and take it camping religiously every time.
 
After thinking about it for a week, I figure it is hard to beat bass pro's price of 129.99 for the MES on black friday. I will post my experience with it the following weekend. Compared to my silver smoker (which I'm thinking about converting to either gas or electric), I should have alot less baby-sitting to do.
