It's kind of ironic that my first post on the site is in regards to smokers.
I'm going to submit my vote for a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. I purchased mine off of Craigslist last summer and I love it. It burns charcoal which allows portability. It also holds temperature great. Weber just made available a smaller, more portable model (14.5"). They also offer larger versions (18.5 and 22.5").
I've also thought about bringing mine along to tournaments and such; the only concern is cooking times for certain foods. A pork butt can take 12 hours, ribs up to 5 or 6. You will be able to cook wings, sausages and burgers in a shorter amount if time (60 - 90 mins).
I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Happy Smoking!
