The most convenient of the various types of smokers are the insulated electric smokers.  These devices house a heating element that can maintain temperatures ranging from that required for a cold smoke all the way up to {{convert|135|C|F}} with little to no intervention from the user.  Although wood chunks, pellets, and even in some cases automatically fed wood pucks are used to generate smoke, the amount of flavor obtained is less than traditional wood or charcoal smokers.
