Ever since I used my friend's Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker about five years ago for the Marching Band cookout, I've been wanting one.
One of the things I really like about this model is it's one of the few electric smokers that sports 4 cooking shelves (most only have 3). This makes it ideal for use as a portable oven to cook or heat up trays of Roasted Potatoes, Mac-N-Cheese, etc. for large cookouts.
These normally go for $200, and I almost pulled the trigger on one at Amazon, but decided to take a quick look on Craigslist first. I'm sure glad I did! A guy literally blocks from my house had a brand new one, never used, still sealed in the box, listed for $130.
I got there and he let me have it for $120!!! 8)

Just a quick update...
The 30" MaterBuilt electric smoker worked great for exactly why I wanted it. For the Band Cookout I used it to bake 4 trays of Mac & Cheese and it worked perfectly! :)
The "Lasagna" size/style of foil trays fit into the shelves of this smoker perfectly leaving enough space in the front and back to allow the heat to flow through the unit properly. So if you're looking for an overflow cooker for doing this sort of thing, or to keep food hot until serving time, this is a great option!
