[quote=Anonymous]Gas totally defeats the point of smoking.  You want charcoal.

Big Green Egg if you have the $$$.

If you want to start out affordable and see if you like it, get a water smoker (also called "bullet" smoker, because of the shape).  They're foolproof and good for beginners.  This Brinkman is $49 at Home Depot:

There are better versions of that up to a Weber one for $399. [url]http://www.homedepot.com/p/Weber-22-1-2-in-Smokey-Mountain-Cooker-Smoker-731001/100657671?N=5yc1vZbx92[/url]
I'm usually a big fan of Weber, but it's hard to see how that could be 8 times better than the Brinkman.  If you can spend $400 for that, spend $600 or $700 for the Big Green Egg.

Offset smokers look macho, but are much harder to control, easier to dry out the meat, etc.  And good ones cost thousands.  
A cheap one looks like this:  [url]http://www.homedepot.com/p/Brinkmann-Smoke-N-Pit-Charcoal-Smoker-810-3045-SB/203679870?N=5yc1vZbx92[/url]
I don't recommend it unless you're really committed to spending whole days monitoring the fire--otherwise you'll have some frustrating and disappointing meals.
