It's not. They're just jealous... you won't have to babysit your smoker while it does the work.

I'd start with a pork butt and some ribs. Get you a 6-8 pound butt, rub it up with your favorite spices, put a few chunks of wood in there, set it at about 210 and smoke it until the butt hits 190. When it hits 190 wrap it up in foil and but it back in for about another 4-6 hours at around 140. You'll have perfect pulled pork.

A big slab of ribs usually takes about 6 hours at 220, again rub em up and let em smoke.

Brisket is probably the biggest challenge. There is a really good electric smoker forum here:
