Here is something on Craigslist....I think that $40 is too much....I would offer less....good luck....and if you have the time and tools, you could build your own. Some like UDS "ugly Drum smoker" and you can build them with minimal tools.

This is just one of 1000's of sites that explain the art of the UDS build

Welcome to the forum. Check around swap meets, CL, various sources, you'll find a cheap smoker. I've even seen the elcheapo card board smokers.
