Not sure if you're asking for the one I use, but here 'tis:
cookshack sm025
https://www.electricsmokerguy.com/cookshack-electric-smoker/
This is an improved version of mine, has the temperature probe built in (I have to use a remote one and thread it through the smoke exhaust.)
Going price is about $900, uses chunks of hardwood you can find in any park, as I wrote; I use the cutoff ends from hardwood flooring.
It's expensive, but as you look around you'll see it's probably worth it. I looked at them all before. Masterbuilt can be had for less than half of this price, but look at the reviews on it. You could make the case that you'd buy 2 Masterbuilts; one to use, the other for parts. Chinese made, thin stainless case.
Heavy gauge Stainless insulated case- on and on... This one is essentially a small commercial/industrial smoker. Don't worry about not having glass; glass front smokers get dirty quickly- so you'll need to clean it often. There's no point anyway, the temperature is really what you need to know. Ribs fit in well, but, when uncooked, slightly touch the sides. Speedy soft ribs: put your ribs in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes, then on the smoke for 2 hours. Holds 4 racks. I've thought about making a rack to hold them vertically, but I never need that many racks.
Mine has sat on an open deck without a cover for 9 years, until we moved. They make bigger ones, but the price soars from there.
