Take a look at the BBQ Guru temp control systems. There are a couple of models I would recommend for you based on how often you do low and slow cooks. If you're only smoking a couple of times a month then the Party-Q might be a good option. It will control your pit temp and the unit is powered by AA batteries. I have the older model that I use for tailgating and camping and it works great. Battery life is around 24 hours of use.

Their most popular unit is the Digi-Q DX. It is an AC powered unit that monitors both pit and meat temp. Like the Party-Q they are set it and forget it. The Digi-Q is used by most all competition teams today. I just used mine last night cooking two pork butts. Put them on at midnight, set the temp at 225 and haven't touched it since.

Hope this helps and please ask if you have any more questions.
