Need advice on a smoker/grill combination
Posted on 9/27/23 at 7:01 pm
Posted on 9/27/23 at 7:01 pm
I am between houses and left my grill and my smoker at the old place. I am looking for a good quality bbq that I can use as both a grill and a smoker until the new house is ready. Afterwards I want it to serve as a full time smoker.
Any knowledgeable advice would be much appreciated.

Just get an Oklahoma Joe or Char-Griller offset smoker.

grill and my smoker
These are two separate things at my house.
Low end, a Weber 22 inch kettle will grill and small smokes.
Mid-range, a ceramic cooker will grill and small smokes.
High end, large pellet grills can do both with good surface area.
I've never used a stick burner offset that was good for grilling anything other than maybe chicken.
I'd get the Weber kettle, then save for a nice smoker to complement it when you're in your new home.

If you want a temporary solution. I would get a Webber Kettle and watch videos on the snake method.

I don’t know what your other grill and smokers are, but just get a BGE or Kamdo Joe. They will do both and are easy to,use. When you get your outdoor space at the new place situated you can build or order a table for the ceramics.

Budget?
If I were getting something to tide me over, I would compromise on smoking ability and then it would then convert to a full time grill. Weber Performer ($$) or Weber 26” or Weber Summit Kamado ($$$). Maybe a PK 360 grill ($$$).
Not sure what a good option is to do the reverse.

Although I don't have this, people who do rave about it. Get one of these and you'll never need or want any type of a pellet grill. And because your heat source is Charcoal, wood or both, You get a much better flavor.

Get a Weber 22 (or 26 if you really need the space) and a Spider Venom fan attachment.
You’ll have a great charcoal/wood grill and smoker that is stupid easy to use. I have a 22 and can cook anything on it at whatever temp I want for as long as I want.

Lots of great advice, thanks. A lot of people have good things to say about the Weber Summit Komodo. Expensive, but I plan on using the grill a lot for a long time. So I suppose that is what I am going to do.
I will look into this Spider Venom thing for later.

If you want a combo grill/smoker I would say Kamado or Oklahoma Joe.
I have the Primo Kamado. It's made in the US and it is an oval so you can get a brisket on there easier. I believe they are the only ones that make an oval and the extra grill space is nice.
The only downside to charcoal is the time to get things started and to temp if grilling. But the flavor is great and it does a good job with smoking as well. You just have to sneak up on the temp or get an automated temp controller.
So with a Kamado, you are over $1000 to $1500 with stands. It just depends on the budget and the space. For a charcoal combo grill smoker, it is hard to go wrong with a Kamado type.
