Portable Smoker Ideas??

Wondering if anyone has an electric or propane smoker they bring camping? Ideally it would be small enough to easily bring with us on trips but not to small to be used at home as well. I think I'd prefer electric but propane would work as well. Lot's of mixed reviews searching the internet so looking for recommendations of something I can put on my list to Santa. Thanks!

Look for Alton Brown "Good Eats" videos on YouTube. He has made smokers out of an electric hot plate, small cast iron frying pan with wood chips and some kind of box (cardboard is probably NOT strong enough). A decent thermometer is critical.

Green Mountain Davy Crocket pellet smoker stored. Note alternate table top legs/springs. Operates on 12V DC or 120V AC.

Deployed and ready. Note: I also remove it and use the main legs and also use it at home.
