I gave my brother a Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24 inch model. It is a really nice size since it's 24 inches wide. Holds full briskets and spares. It aint insulated but it has no problem holding temps and my little bro turns out some top notch BBQ on it. Under 300 bucks to boot!!

I used a Brinkman All In One for many years.  I've cooked briskets, ribs and pulled pork on it and was very happy with the results.  I still use the burner for turkey frying and seafood boils (and to start my charcoal chimney). 



If you want a gas smoker, I think it's a pretty good choice.  It's not too expensive and it's pretty versatile.

I had a MasterBuilt vertical/water for several years.  Don't recommend it.  Any kind of wind would blow the flame out (had to keep bottom wrapped in foil to stop that).  Getting it hot enough to smoulder wood chunks or chips resulted in very high (300+) dome temps.  High maintenance machine.
