see the below link for the best BBQ book I have ever read. It covers technique, theory behind it, recipes, and smoker design.

Personally,just my opinion, I would get a charcoal smoker if I only had 1 smoker. Yes electric is easy but the flavor is not comparable to charcoal. Maybe later you could get an electric one for rainy or cold days. I think "direct vs indirect" is really a debate on how far away your heat source is from your food and therefore something I don't harp on. Personally I think it is best to have the ribs or whatever directly above the coals so that when the fat drips off it sizzles on the coals and the smoke and flavor returns up to the meat. But obviously you have to have the coals far enough away so as not to have the temp, at grill level, exceed 240 degrees or so.

The below link is to amazon.com - I put it in there because you can read a lot of detail and reviews. If you want to buy a new copy it may be easier to go to: http://www.barbecue-store.com/

and buy a new copy there for like $25.
