Consider your price range. Rotisserie smokers are usually pretty expensive, ranging from a couple hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars. Once you know how much money you want to spend, you can start focusing on that group of rotisserie smokers.

Decide how large you want your smoker to be. You can find rotisserie smokers to fit entire pigs for a pig roast, or they can be small enough so that the largest thing it can fit is a quail. The size you want depends on your price range, the type of meat you like to BBQ, smoke and cook the most (such as lamb, pork, chicken or beef), and what you realistically think you would use it for. If you do not think you would ever cook an entire pig, than do not splurge for the largest rotisserie smoker.

Decide on what style you want the smoker to be. There are two kinds: horizontal and vertical. Vertical styles are easier to use and are smaller, since they are more for cooking smaller pieces of meat and do not need a large area to be set up on. Horizontal rotisserie smokers are designed for very large pieces of meat and involve the meat spinning on the spit.

Consider if you want the smoker to be run by gas, electricity or straight-up coals and wood chips. What you want depends on the temperatures you use to cook the meat and the control you will have. Electricity will require the least control work from you, but it will take much longer to the cook the meat since it is dedicated to cooking it evenly. Using coals or wood chips will require the most work from you, but will cook the meat faster and provide a more smoky flavor.
