Big green egg sucks as a a smoker imo
Oklahoma joe's combo is a great smoker and propane grill

Do you want both a smoker and a grill? Or a smoker/grill combo?

If you want to get into ceramic style cooking without spending $1,000+, look at the Char-Griller Akorn.
I personally don't have one, but they get decent reviews, cook similar to a Big Green Egg/Komado Joe for at least a third of the price. They won't last forever and some of the parts are a bit cheap. But it's a very lid value for an entry ceramic style grill.
The lid and body consist of approximately one inch thick insulation wrapped in steel. Outside is powder coated and inside is porcelain coated. It's actually much more durable than the more expensive ceramic smokers due to it's steel construction.

Get a 26" Weber kettle with a slow n sear xl. You also can get the slow n sear griddle.

After some research, my wife ordered me an Oklahoma Joe's Reverse Flow smoker last month. Supposedly this pit runs a good bit more than the $350 she found it on Amazon for.
Last week was the first time smoking on it, as I had previously just done burgers and steaks.

GOAT charcoal grill

CharBroil 940x.
It is an old, old model that the WC Bradley Stove Company started making in the forties or fifties.
It is heavy duty.
I got one in 1989 that lasted 17 years uncovered in my back yard. I got another one a few years back and it is even better.
I have a big offset smoker I never use any more. I gave up my gas grills.
I have cooked on ceramics and they are worth the time and money IMHO but do not have the capacity of the 940. (You have to have a big one just to get an entire slab of ribs across the rack.)
Get you a 940 and build a fire on the side when you want to smoke and build it all the way across when you grill. You can open the front door to add coals and you can raise and lower the coals as you need too. The grates are cast iron.
It is a great all around grill. I bet I have cooked 10,000 lbs of meat on the two I have since 1989. I can do several slabs of ribs and probably 4 butts if I fully load it.
