The Weber Smoky Mountain is the smoker America's Test Kitchen recommended in an equipment review awhile ago. They thought Big Green Egg was too heavy and too expensive but also didn't like it because of its lack of a water pan, though they really liked the constant temperature it kept.

The water pan is a debatable item, IMO at least. It's great for catching the fat drippings and keeping the charcoal from flaring up on me, but apart from that the water actually keeps the smoker temperature too low.

There was a great article in the huffington post regarding meat smoking, cooking times, etc. Here it is. If you check out the section on moisture evaporation and temperature, you'll see why I'm always a little leery on water pans....
