A Uniflame charcoal grill from Wal-Mart. $30, baby.

If you're not cooking with charcoal, you might as well cook it on the stove.

I built my own smoker. No need to go high-dollar, mine was built for about $100 and it is a great smoker. Controls heat real well, and I get about 12 hours on 10 pounds of charcoal at 225.

This is the thread where I got the info on how to build my own. It is 96 pages and 1439 posts long, so get ready. Some great pictures and suggestions, though.

Before I went with Traegers, I would look at the Backwoods Smokers and the Spicewines. Both VERY nice uprights. I haven't seen or heard a bad thing about either. The SW is a little better looking (custom paint jobs) but is MUCH heavier.
