I'm amazed at some of the short times reported for smoking. We used to put bluefish on and it took all day.
I think if you are a purist requiring charcoal its going to be a long day of baby sitting. If you can go for other sources of heat , I think the electric ones are the most automatic in terms of temp control. My heart leans towards gas fired but the all day long temp control feedback loop is not there as it is with an electric one.
Anyway ,I love the taste.
