Double your budget and buy a BGE. You won't regret it.

I have a BGE myself and love it. In fact, I’m sitting next it to now about to take the meat off. I bought the BGE bc of the unlimited accessories. But I’d recommend any kamado grill over a regular charcoal or gas grill. But it ultimately comes down to personal preference. I don’t like anything with briquettes and I don’t like gas. Lump Charcoal in a kamado will always be my choice. A pellet grill would probably be my second choice bc I like smoking meat and a pellet grill is damn near cheating.
