i want to get into smoking but i don't really have a place to do it at home and would like to try it maybe car camping on the cheap rather than buy a $250 smoker i might use twice a year
i can only find sporadic information about it online
anyone have any experiences or setups they want to share?

Stop eating cancer-covered meat.

Jump off the nearest bridge nigger.
Get a fire going with oak wood, then hang your fish or whatever above it.
Next you get a fireproof blanket thing and cover up the fish and the fire
The fire will go out and start to smoke. Make sure you close up the blanket very well on all sides
You can simply do this in your backyard if you want

Just check CL or local rummage/garage sales, OP. I bought a "used once" Coleman Deluxe Charcoal Outdoorsman bullet smoker for $20 from a garage sale.

There are much cheaper sheet metal, round smokers that are way cheaper. They work dry, or with a water pan. A 12lb turkey takes about 10 hours. A rack of pork ribs takes 3 or 4. I use a little charcoal to start it up. Then, when the coals ash over, add pecan wood (or your favorite) and the meat. Main thing is just to restrict the airflow when it gets close to 250F. Try to keep it stable between 200F and 230F for great results. Fuck cancer. Life's to short, regardless, to skip good smoked meats.

At home I use a giant terra cotta pot smoker like Alton Brown created. It works very well. About $50 investment, I use mine on my apartment balcony.
I don't think Brisket would be possible but you can definitely do a rack of spare ribs, a few slabs of beef ribs, or a whole pork shoulder. I have also cold smoked pork belly (bacon). The key is chunk hardwoods and good temperature and air control. You may have to experiment a bit but it's worth it.

muh pot smoker
it's best in the summer when direct sun is hitting it, it raises the temp and helps you maintain 225 degrees all day. At night or in the winter I need to cover it with foil and tons of towels to keep it warm. Winter is best for cold smoking though (under 50 degrees)
always have multiple thermometers to double check, an inaccurate thermometer can fuck your food up
t. somebody who smoked things 30 degrees lower than intended and couldn't figure out why everything I made sucked
