A griddle is next on my list to acquire (as soon as the CFO lets me have the funds)
I'm torn between the Blackstone and just getting a griddle top for my 2 burner propane camp stove.
I have a Cabela's 1/2 horse #8 and am very happy with it. LEM is probably the highest rated grinder and Weston is also very good but all those probably start around $300 and go up.
The Kitchener line gets pretty good reviews and Cabela's has lower priced models as well which what I was going to...
I had ordered the red one and before it arrived found the blue one on Craigslist.
So far I've smoked briskets, ribs, chicken, and pork loins and grilled hamburgers & hot dogs. Oh, and baked an apple pie. They are very easy to control.
I found a herbal page that claims it cures everything from headaches to hemorrhoids, but nothing about smoking. I think if it were me I'd leave it for the bonfire.
What does your smoker weigh? Then add canopies, coolers, and whatever else you may be hauling to make sure you will be under the payload and that everything will fit on the trailer.

If you look at the instructions from Hunsaker Smokers, he says to set the bottom vent at 1/2 and use the top vent to control temps. I have one and it works without producing any more creosote than my WSM with the vent wide open. In fact I think it creates a little more humid environment but...

There is normally a little smoke that escapes around the lid, but if you are having a lot it makes me wonder if the body (barrel) is out of round?
A 22" kettle would do what you have described. You don't say what your budget is but a kettle AND WSM would have you set for life. Both of those can usually be found on places like Craigslist or garage sales and Weber's hold up so well that buying used is not much of a risk. The biggest concern...
