Pretty accurate, but I think PK is a better grill than Weber. Weber is more convenient with the ash clean out.
That said, I just bought a BGE so it'll be getting all the use for the foreseeable future
BGE and PK are fantastic. I grill every single day so I put a little extra premium on ease of use, cleaning etc. I still use the PK and agree that its a great grill. Its just gonna be a little more pricey
If OP got any of the above, hed be in good shape

I'm in the market too and right now the PK300 is at the top of my list. I just want simplicity and durability, I don't grill terribly often but have wanted something after finally having to resign my mid-1990's Weber gas grill to the curb. New Webers are just junk compared to what they used to be, not really sold on a pellet grill either.

Look at the Weber Searwood. It's a pellet smoker, but can get up to 600 degrees. You can put sear grates, a griddle insert, and a rotisserie on it.

Decide whether you want charcoal, pellets, or propane. Different amount of work involved to cook on each of them.
I prefer Weber of all types because replacement parts are easily available. I use my propane Weber 3-5 days a week and have had it for 12 years. Have replaced internals several times at a fraction of the cost of a new grill

You already have the best grill. Just looking for something easier?

Why can’t you people just go to The Home Depot and buy whatever BBQ pit you can afford for 6 months no interest?
It’s not a life altering decision.

I just picked up a used Smokefire. It's been awesome. Apparently Weber fixed all the issues with the Smokefire with the Searwood. I bet it's awesome.

Wow I am going to get some hate but here goes…
Green eggs are ok but you can get less costly porcelain grills.. green egg owners like to make sure you know they have a green egg..
I have friends with both the green eggs and less expensive ones..
I taste no difference and see no difference watching them grill..
I have two traegers.. a tabletop portable one.. I use it the most because now an empty nester.. I have another full size one for full size stuff like briskets … you burn a lot of pellets to just use it to grill for burgers … chicken etc.. I use big one for big stuff small one for steaks etc .. . I do not recommend either..or any pellet smoker to be used as your primary grilling tool if you have a family ( I do but that is why I have the tabletop one and empty nester)
Now my recommendation and tons of down votes..
I had one of these for over ten years and used it to learn to offset smoke.. left it behind when I sold that house.
Tractor supply company .. char broiler ( I think… definitely the tractor supply… . Was a Black Friday super sale)…
Three in one..one full side set up for gas ( easy to do stuff quick like burgers etc.. the other side set up same but uses charcoal.. . lower small offset box to the side of charcoal side set up for offset smoking
I found a combination of charcoal in the box for steady heat.. and wood chunks for smoke.. time and beer produced my most enjoyable and hobby grilling activity…
Pellet smokers have their application.. but I like the offset box for a more bbq experience…

Recteq Bullseye is fairly small but very versatile. Can legit smoke down around 225 degrees and get up to 900 degrees for great searing capability
Theyre great but the barrel on mine rusted through in just under 4 years

Wait, a payment plan for a grill ? With interest, or with no interest- if you cant afford to pay upfront in full for a new grill, then you cant afford a new grill .

Exactly.
A bunch of try hard flop-poof grill snobs. This generation would have surrendered to the Japs in WWII if they could get the top ten recipes for the Hibachi grill with a charcoal starter.

Mainly burgers, steak, chicken, but wouldn’t hate the ability to do some pizza or flattop stuff. So anything that I can use accessories with would be cool.
Green Mountain Grills has a pellet grill with a pizza oven attachment that I've had my eye on and it's probably what I will get when it's time for a new grill but that may be a few years in my case

Always liked those masterbuilts and said the gravity feed loader would be my next grill. How does it do for searing? Or just mainly smoking

No downvotes here. I havent tested many ceramic grills but my only guess is BGE may be a little higher quality with parts. Food quality on the different grills will always be determined by the one doing the cooking

Excellent for smoking, but you better be cooking in aluminum pans or be a stickler about keeping it clean. The thin metal will rust and the grill will eventually fall apart from salt/seasoning. I also had an issue with some of the switches (easily bypassed) and controller eventually failed but I replaced that with a fireboard. So yeah, even with the issues I'd still recommend it as long as you don't mind tinkering with it now and again.
I am about to purchase another b/c the lip on mine rusted out the held the grates b/c at first I used it as a grill as well and I don't do a great job at cleaning them. The smoke off the gravity rivals my weber smokey mountain, but the gravity feed makes it easier to add more charcoal and wood during long cooks.
The main 3 cookers I use are the gravity series for smoking, a weber gas for convienience and a PK for charcoal grilling.

I have a Traeger for smoking and a Weber for grilling. When I expand my porch and build an outdoor kitchen, I plan on adding a Blackstone.

For searing, it is nearly as good as my Primo. For burgers, it is better and more consistent, for thick steaks not quite as good.
For smoking, it is as close as you can get to an offset stick in flavor without nearly the amount of time and effort the offset requires.
The new 1150 (came out at Christmas) fixes most of the issues you will read about on the prior generation.
