The BGE gets very high marks from most that own them. If the budget allows I would recommend one of them. For doing bbq on the cheap you could build a small uds using a 30 gal drum.

One other option would be to get a Weber grill and use indirect heat when cooking bbq. Something like the smokenator might be an option for ya Fred.
