Smart eBay searches we'd start with ourselves. We earn a small commission on qualifying sales through these links; the price you pay is the same whether you use them or go direct to eBay. Full disclosure.
Offset smokerA quality offset (Oklahoma Joe, Char-Griller) teaches you fire management. Cheap offsets leak badly.
Pellet grill / smokerSet-and-forget temperature control. Traeger and Pit Boss dominate the mid-range; watch for sales.
Digital instant-read thermometerA Thermapen Mk4 (or Thermopop) is the single most important tool in BBQ. Temperature is everything.

BBQ rubs and seasoning varietyStart with a quality salt+pepper base, then layer. Most commercial rubs are sugar-heavy.
