Help venturing out of gas

Thanks guys. Lots of great ideas. Not giving up on all in one yet but if I have to continue with two items the Egg sounds good but can you get real smoke flavor. Green mt grill would work but I an on Texas Gulf Coast and Hurricains do happen, kind of useless in week long power outages. Please keep suggestions coming.

Any komado will give as much smoke flavor as you want.

Buy a wood stick burner then installed a gas burner they cheap.

I think klose makes an offset that can also grill, but i read that these aren't as good at grilling as a kettle and would recommend just getting a regular smoker and one that does not double as a grill. Kamados and kettles are both good, and kettles can be got on CL for cheap.

So, I don't own one of these .. but I like their product in general. I will say compared to my egg and drum.. they use a lot of charcoal. If you look down the page at the PR60G - you'll notice it is gas - and i believe they make it so you can use either gas or charcoal.

In general, i'm with most of these guys .. I'd buy two units.. I have a Weber Summit 470 as well, and between that and the Egg I have two high end products I'm happy to own.

For starters, I would purchase a ceramic grill / smoker / oven (Primo or Big Joe)
If you still want to rotisserie, I would suggest a Weber Performer with a rotisserie
attachment. I would also purchase a Guru controller for the extra long cooks.
Good luck,

I think step one is going to get kamato style either Kamato Joe Big Joe or Primo XL oval. Any suggestions? Guess I'll give up the rotisserie for now, maybe get a small gasser for quickies and rotisserie.

That is going to be a tough one for you to decide. They are both great. It is probably going to come down to customer support and features.

I have been looking at this, I am thinking of building something like it, only smaller. I like the Santa Maria grill with the smoker, and I am sure you can get it with gas or even a smaller one like it.

Forget the gas. Most people like it because you push a button, and it's ready, right?

Get a pellet grill. It's got the push button ease of use of gas, but it's a real wood fire and you can grill AND smoke on the same unit. They are also in your price range.
