Just getting started ? Flatten the learning curve and get a kettle. Once you get the whole idea down a barrel smoker is a good next step. Great size and versatile enough for just about anything except cold smoke. Reasonable price too.

Same pricing as the Charbroil one. Thanks for the advice.

Welcome to Smoked-Meat!! Glad to have you with us, and you CAN'T go wrong with a Weber Kettle. They are one of the greatest grills ever made. Depending on what size you are looking for, Weber also makes a 26" for around $300. That should work for a long, long time.
