I picked this thing up last week when it was 59.99! I think the secret was keeping the temp lowwwwwwww. http://www.amazon.com/Char-Broil-Offset-Smoker-American-Gourmet/dp/B00365FI9E
This one has high ratings, is under 100, and is a combo charcoal grill and smoker,

Since this was my first ever smoke, I got the [cheapest smoker I could find](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00365FI9E/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_3GLcvb1Y7GN7V
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00365FI9E/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_3GLcvb1Y7GN7V). When I bought it, the smoker was only $69.99 with no shipping fees. At first, it held up ok, but 6 hrs in, some of the hinges started coming loose. I had to constantly adjust the firebox lid to fully cover the opening. During the clean up, i tightened all the bolts, and I think it'll be fine again for the next smoke.
I used mesquite wood. Temperatures went all over the place because of my inexperience with tending the fire and the leaks in the smoker. I don't think I ever saw blue smoke.
I smoked for 12 hrs and pushed through the stall to 200 degrees before taking it out and letting it rest.
I think my saving grace was that I bought a prime packer brisket from Costco which was quite a bit more forgiving with my mistakes.
After my 2nd brisket coming up, I'm looking to buy a cast iron smoker by crowdfunding from the friends I hope to feed.
I was looking at smokers. Probably an error. Probably.
