I've decided I want a Kamado style grill. I like what I've read about them and I think I would enjoy one and get good use out of one. Before I go into my issue, my plan is to keep my Kettle (everyone should have one of those, they are great!), get a kamado, and build a wsm style smoker, similar to Fwismoker's Jamie, when I find a good used cheap 18.5".
Ok so to my issue. I don't like to spend money so I'm looking fairly cheap. Ive come down to the Vision Classic (usually $450-500 at Sam's) or the Char-Griller Akorn (I can get one right now at WalMart for $250).
I'm worried if I don't get the Vision I will always wish I did. But I can put out $250 way easier than $450-500 (not financially but mentally.....but I also like quality). I've heard a lot of good things about each but I just cant decide.
If I go with the Vision I will have to wait until next Spring when they are back in stock at Sam's again and I don't know if I can be patient that long. I wish I would have been able to find one when they were on sale a month ago but unfortunately they were gone at all Sam's close to me.
The Akorn is cheaper and would easily allow me to save money for things to cook! I may have to do a few mods but nothing it should need is hard to do or expensive.
What would you do? (I know someone is gonna say build a UDS...lol)
