Some suggestions other than books are online forums. Weber has one that relates to their "WSM Smoker", which is a very good smoker from beginner to advanced. Lots of good advice, recipes, hints, etc on there. Also Addicted to BBQ website along with Primo grills and smoker's website. I use all three of them for what I do. I've had a homebuilt smoker, a brinkmann, a traeger, and currently use a primo. My 2 cents.

Steve Raichles (sp) book the bbq bible is probably the most complete volume of rubs, sauces, marinades and times and temps. I have it and it is very good from beginner to experienced bbq'er

No book but this site is good. Site for the Weber Smokey Mountain...good no-fuss starting smoker around to 200-300 price point. Recipes apply to anything though.

eddheadforum is a great online forum. The Big Green Egg is IMO the best grill/smoker/oven around. You will pay for it if you want to go that route, but it is worth it.
There are all kinds recipes for everything from rubs to pork shoulder to sides and sauces. If you are into "beer can chicken" and like it a little spicy try the spicy drunken chicken. I have had many people tell me it is the best chicken they have ever had. |

Any reason why you're wanting something like that? I've had a bullet like that, as well as a propane smoker and my offset wood smoker, and if I had to do it over again would start right off with the offset box and never look back.

This is the best book to get started.
others Dr. BBQ's Big Time BBQ cookbook Mike Mills Peace, Love and Barbecue I have all three but Paul Kirk's book is the one I keep going back to. As for smokers with a water pan try Backwoods or Spicewine. But a weber 22.5 WSM is good way to get started. |

I received the book "Smoke & Spice" from my brother when I first got into smoking years ago. Some of the best rub recipes you'll find. Willie's Wunderful rub is a staple, and can be modified for more/less heat quite easily.
And I'd go with an offset firebox. I have an old Brinkman's Pitmaster Deluxe. I could use a new one, but this one dials into 210 degrees so easy it's hard for me to think about getting a different one.
