keep in mind the amount of meat you will be smoking. those concrete block smokers are great for big stuff but really use up a lot of charcoal or wood. i have a similiar setup for doing pigs but for most family sized feeds, an 18" weber smokey mountain does the trick for about $250 delivered. and its really portable and easy to use.

i like the rustic style smokers but find myself using the weber more.
