To start smoking as a beginner is real easy, just get yourself a smoker. 
To qualify as smoking you need ALL of the following, imo:
1) Indirect heat (ie, fire box on side is best)
2) Slow cooking at low temperature (200 to 350, 225/250 ideal most of the time)
3) Wood as your source of heat/smoke
The first smoker I got was a Webber water smoker, below is a pic, there is a water tub underneath, that deflects the heat, the smoker with the water in there is just kinda messy, I use it w/o the water, and mainly for traveling.
Below is the next smoker I got (Smokemaster), this is about $850, real nice, fire box on the side, barrel smoke chamber.
I can cook 12 chickens on there (all standing up, 4x3 rows), or 4 chickens and a ribs/brisket, etc.. Here is another pic of one of my BBQ dinners:
Below was the smoker I wanted to get  , I really like the combination barrel smoke chamber and the standing up vertical smoke chamber, this is about $1,500:
These smoke masters are real nice. A guy in Austin makes these, and at the time I got mine, you would buy directly from him, I spent along time talking to him. He no longer has a website and he sells them thru distributors.
