So in the past year, I've received 2 unordered packages from amazon. The first was a set of 2 really nice wind chimes. We assumed they were from my mother-in-law cause the box came at the same time as the rest of the stuff she sent. But come Christmas morning, when we called her, she said she didn't send them. We asked around, every one we thought might send us the wind chimes, but no one owned up to it.
The second thing was a nice smoker that was addressed to me (my husband and both use his amazon account) and it arrived on my birthday. Again, no one owned up to it. The funny thing is, it's something my husband would want. He's recently gotten into bbq and smoking. So it turned it ok. And I love my windchimes.
If they allow burning charcoal and such, 14 inch weber smokey mountain. Right on the $ with your budget too. I have to cut a 3 pound slab of st. louis cut ribs in half to get it to fit, but it works. I smoked a 12 pound turkey (came out perfect) in one of these for thanksgiving, and a 3 pound tri tip was my first cook.

You really can't beat the Weber 22" for a charcoal grill. You could buy a new silver and a smokenator and a Maverick 732 dual probe wireless thermometer for $200. That's probably your best bet. The dual probe monitors the meat internal temp and the smoke chamber temp, and you can clip the readout to your pocket and set it so it goes off if the temps go above or below your target parameters. Pretty essential.
The other route would be for him to keep grilling on his Weber grill, and get the new WSM 14" for $200.
2 things.
For quick setup and entry for really cheap is your Smoky Joe's big brother, the 22in Kettle. You can check for floor models at most box stores to see if you can get one cheap. (i just got my target floor model 22 in for $50 for the second year in a row) Or you can look on craigslist/FMP for the 22in for anywhere from $20-$50.
The other cheap option is Ugly Drum Smoker. Cheap and effective and fun to tinker with. Gives you tons of space to do small or big cooks.
Finally if you just want to spend $250

Very small so no room to scale but still good entry level. The issue for me is just because its just you and your boyfriend doesn't mean your cooking vessel shouldn't have the proper space for smoking.
A bigger vessel gives room to learn temp control and I loved the UDS for that reason.
Hopefully that is helpful.
Nice build. Not sure if you're aware but Weber finally released the 14.5" Smokey Mountain.

I whole-heartedly suggest a 14" Weber smokey mountain or making a mini weber smokey mountain.
My DIY miniWSM was my first endeavor into the world of smoke and BBQ. Its incredibly efficient and cost less than $100 to make. I use it for tailgaiting all the time.

Drop another $50 and get a 14.5 WSM
Might I suggest a Weber Smokey Mountain? They are awesome cookers and have an almost cult like following on the various BBQ forums and lots of videos on YouTube, this will help him learn quickly. They are well built (it's a Weber) and should last a very long time. Lots of BBQ teams use them too!

That would work great but I was talking about this https://www.amazon.ca/Weber-711001-Mountain-14-Inch-Charcoal/dp/B00FKE67V2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481408962&sr=8-1&keywords=weber+smoker
Its a gril but works amazing as a smoker. You can usually find them at a big box retailer for 150
thanks for the review! Is this what you're talking about?

Expand your world view and get a smoker. I have the 18 inch and I can make better bbq than I've ever gotten in a restaurant. I also have a cheapo electric powerwasher so clean up is a breeze. That smoker is the reason I signed up for Amazon Prime tbh.
I've got a Weber Smokey Mountain 14" vertical smoker with Weber cover in great condition. This sells for $199 new. I'll take $100
Weber Smoker
I also have a Weber Kettle Premium 22" with Weber cover also in great condition. This is the version with the removable ash catcher. It sells news for $150. I'll take $75.

If interested let me know and I'll throw some pictures up on Imgur. I'm negotiable on both.
