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?

I'd just get a nice heavy gauge steel grill with a side smoke box.

Yep BGE sucks as a smoker. Sometimes it is the Indian and not the Arrow.

I saw one of those at Lowe's and was intrigued. Do you own one?

BGE and other kamados are great smokers. Can hold low temps for 12+ hours. You also have the versatility of high temp cooking . The only grill you'll ver need.

Looks like they took inspiration from the Curiosity rover.

My vote it a Weber kettle. Checks off all the traits you are looking for, plus you'll have money left over for meat.

He has a budget of $600. Link I sent will fall under that and do the work of a BGE.

Whoever said ceramic grills don't do a good job smoking is wrong.

They are average smokers, they aren't top tier. They consistently perform as well as the high end electrics in blind taste tests. They are not stick burners by any means. They do have a big following though.

Dude has $600 budget, he's not bringing in a truck grill.
