You can do lots with a Weber kettle - that is what I use.
Best book to start with is Meathead although you can also glean a lot of information through his website https://amazingribs.com/
I highly recommend the book - great section in there on various BBQ set ups that don't require a money gun.

What @Aroogah said, pick up a used Weber kettle and start experimenting... Mine was only ten bux at a garage sale... You can cook any thing, any way you want in that thing...
I got pretty much this exact smoker off Amazon for about £50 6 Years ago and had no real clue what I was doing. Tried just using wood in it and temp just yo-yo’d all over the place and was a nightmare so it’s been rusting away in a corner, then I saw this video on the tube and I’m wondering.
