Another Kamado vote here. I have the Primo Oval XL and can feed a small army with it.
For versatility, get a Ceramic. Can do it all. Yes, they weigh a bit more (think of it as greater stability), but you will be happy with the results.
Dude, man up and buy a kamado then come back and thank us later. :-D
I also vote Kamado... Loving my oval xl!
I'm with Moose - my Vision (which I was lucky to score for $249) has been an amazing cooker so far. I started using mine last fall and cooked on it all winter so far. As much as I love my Webers (I've got a 22", 18", Smokey Joe and a Weber Q), I think they will be sitting idle most of the summer. The kamado is so much more efficient and turns out great food. The only downfall that I can see to my Vision is I'm going to want a larger sized kamado at some point.
I don't see parting with my Smokey Mountain cooker, I'll still use it for larger cooks, bacon makin' and such but the Vision will see more use than any other grill I own this summer. :thumb:
Interesting responses, to "other than a weber". I have Jumbo Joe, 22.5, WSM 22.5 and the Ranch Kettle. I'm nearly an empty nester w/ 4 older kids and if not a weber I would look at the PK Grill or Hasty Bake. PK Grill for simplicity. Good reviews and a nice practical size.
THIS ^^^ or a Santa Maria grill. They're pretty sweet.
