im new to smoking im wanting a wood smoker but dont no what to look for i love grilling so i just want to learn to smoke so lets hear whats good to start on
 
I vote for a WSM.

It may be the best smoker made for the price.

Very easy to use, & a great smoker to learn on.

Even though I built my own, I know a lot of people who love their WSM. I agree too with off set models you can buy, many of them look like they are made from the leftover beer cans at any backyard BBQ. I was concerned with many models on how they would seal and hold the smoke and heat.
 
I was looking at that one I just dont no what to look for in one

WSM or horizontal offset? IMHO horizontal offset is easy to determine; if it feels like you can rip it apart with your bare hands and is cheap don't get it. However, I have a lot of friends who have "cheap ones" who make good food. It's just my preference. I bought a bar-b-chef offset smoker for roughly $300 over ten years ago and it's still solid and doing great cooks after a decade in the elements and five moves. Joining SMF has expanded how I use it too. The cheaper construction wouldn't handle that abuse.

WSMs are a slam dunk. You only have to decide what size you want.
