wood smoker, where I go with different types of wood,
All smoke comes from wood. The easiest smokers to use that are in your price range will be ones that run off charcoal where you add different wood chunks to it. You can buy all different types of wood chunks for smoking at Academy, Walmart, Home Depot, or the grocery store.
Look at Webber Smokey Mountain, Pit Barrel Cooker, Oklahoma Joe Bronco, etc..

To get an introduction I would start with a Weber Kettle or a pit barrel style cooker such as the Oklahoma Joe Bronco. See if you like tending to charcoal and wood chunks then go from there.
Offsets aren't for everyone, but some people like me just don't really like anything else. If I had to pick a secondary smoker though it would probably be a pit barrel cooker.

He asked for easy. Why keep stoking with charcoal when you can have the heated cast iron do virtually the same thing? Having the Dutch oven cracked open with lid on top creates an environment that never catches fire completely because there is not enough air for it to catch. You end up with a nice piece of lump coal or if continue to burn it, it will reduce to ash in the pot. It smokes and maintains and even temp throughout the day.
Yeah it's unconventional but it works. I use this method all the time and kick out awesome food. Y'all go ahead and downvote away though lol
