Newbie queen rearing system?

I would like to try raising my own queens next year. I've got about a dozen hives in my backyard. Can anyone suggest an easy queen rearing system for a newbie? First-timer success rate is probably the most important factor to me. I only want to make about a dozen or so queens, so I don't need something oriented towards large production volume.

Just the name of an appropriate system is all I need. I can research it once I know what I am looking for.

TIA.

Simple splits are easiest for me, but if you want a lot of queens it cannot supply them. I graft a little here and there, but find it hard to keep up with the time schedule, and end up putting them in an incubator most often. Probably a bit advanced for a beginner.
