There is a Lang 48 in bristol condition in the Phoenix area on the FB Lang owner's group for sale, bit more than your budget but that's a rare opportunity for a decent pit that far West free of freight charges.

22.5 Weber WSM. It's a charcoal smoker, but uses wood for more smoke flavor. Slightly under your budget to boot!

Don’t under estimate charcoal vertical cabinets. You can find some very good ones in your range used. I have a 270 large and once temp is dialed in it’s as set it and forget it as any electric.

Thanks was going to ask forum about the Weber have a friend of a friend says that's all he has used for years and has turned out some fantastic meat, been finding them in the $400 range with a few used on Craigslist
