The old adage "You get what you pay for" applies here.  You can spend $100 bucks or you can spend $2500.  Just plan on spending several dozen hours of tweaking and several hundred dollars to get the cheap smoker to work decent.  It's up to you how much you want to fiddle around.
 
If you don't want to spend $$, but are even moderately handy with a drill you can make a UDS - Ugly Drum Smoker. They are not necissarily ugly, and they work really well. You can usually make one for $100 or less.

Check the build forums for UDS builds - lots of instructions.
