Offsets provide the best flavor due to science. Burning wood gives off a sweet smoke while smoldering wood is bitter smoke. Reference: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N6PFBDW/ref=dp-kindle-redirect/189-3796810-6372614?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

The one thing he is right on, if you want a decent offset, you can make a cinder block one like mine for under $300 that will cook 150 lbs of meat or find one made of at least 3/8" steel. Anything less is junk and a waste of money.

You can't really go wrong with the Franklin Barbecue Manifesto mentioned by /u/OmegaDriver.

It's written by a guy that runs a restaurant where people start lining up outside his restaurant at 6 AM on Saturdays. He doesn't open until 11.

He does a lot of helpful online videos that you can find on YouTube, but the book really is something every smoker should have. It goes into the details and even science of smoking, and can get geeky in parts, but I love that. The more understanding you have of what is going on with your food, the better you'll be at being able to get steady, reliable results when you can make changes on the fly to deal with changes in outdoor temperature, humidity, wood flare-ups, etc.

In chapter 6 he gets into the details of Brisket, Ribs, and Turkey breast, but that's about it as far as "recipes" goes, but it's SUPER detailed and describes EXACTLY how to get the results you're looking for. Once you've got those 3 things mastered, you're not going to really need a cook book anyway, other than to find some new flavor profiles for your rubs and marinades.

Can't recommend it enough.

I've never tried it before, usually stick to meat or cheese.

​

All joking aside, check out Aaron Franklin's book...
