New to Forum - Looking to Learn

[btg8r]

I live in Central Florida, I love to cook outside.  We cook at least 2 meals per week on the grill.  I don't have very much experience smoking.  But, I'm looking to change that.  I'm currently looking to buy a smoker and get started, any help would be greatly appreciated.  What is a good smoker to get started with?  I don't want to break the bank.  I just want something relatively simple to use, and a smoker that will last longer than a year or two.

Thanks,

Brad

Glad you joined us Brad, :welcome1: from North Dakota!
Ugly Drum Smoker, Weber 22.5" kettle and Weber Smokey Mountain are all good choices. Craigslist is a good resource for finding good prices on hardly used Weber's.
