I agree that a UDS is a great low budget smoker, but $100 is a tight budget for one. If you can get a free drum then maybe but it will probably be closer to $150 or even $200.
Have you thought about electric? You can get an electric brinkmann at home depot for $75. It isn't the most versatile...
I wish I was on the road heading south today! Have fun down there and hopefully I will see everyone next year. And please keep me in your thoughts while I brave the hoards of people at Disney on Saturday with my two year old (it is by far not the happiest place on earth for me)!
