Need advice on a smoker/grill combination

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.

Just got a chargriller offset smoker and am very happy

Those seem pretty cool… you not a fan?

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.

The weber kettle is far and away the best answer.

Here are some links to the accessories I have for mine. You can do amazing things with them and they hold temperature really well for low and slow. Don't listen to anyone who tells you any different.

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.

They are good cookers, just not what I need/want at the moment. I added a couple holes to mine to run a rotisserie through it, chicken comes out great. I like having dedicated smokers/grills, I really want a yakitori grill to pair with my kettle and my 500.

The cheapest Weber Summit will run him about $1250

Won’t argue this. But you’ll get a better built, better insulated pit that will probably last twice as long.
