I would say 700 watt but remember the bigger you go the more amps you are going to draw which means more on your electric bill. You would probably want to install a thermostat too just so you can regulat the heat.

I called my local Hardware store, and they told me to get a HOT plate..thats what the guys use around here i guess.. Some use two.. One for smoking the chips and one for controlling heat. But i think I would only need one
