I have cooked with gas grills and smokers for years. Now I want to ease away from gas but maybe not entirely. I am asking for advice and suggestions in buying new equipment. My gas smoker is already at the recyclers and the grill will be there in a very few weeks.
I live in South East Texas, near Houston. I cook steaks, burgers, and fish on my grill. I also rotisserie large cuts of rib-in roast, tinder loins and pork loins on the grill. I smoke whole chicken, pork ribs and pork shoulder/butt on the smoker.
My thoughts are that I would like one unit that will grill with gas or charcoal (two compartments), accommodate an electric rotisserie attachment and have a vertical or horizontal smoker with offset fire box. A lot to ask I know.
I have been quoted a custom price by one of the competition grill makers of $4000.00+++. That's out of my budget. I have seen models at Academy sporting goods and even Sam's club for under $400.00 but they seem flimsy and I am tired of replacing my grill every three years. I am willing to spend up to $2500.00 but would be happy under $1000.00 if I was confident in the quality.
In other words I want it all. I look forward to your suggestions and to contributing to the forum in the future.
