This is just for ease of use, when I don't have the time to do some real cooking.
I'm getting a smoker too, for the real BBQ. And not one of those dumb electronic smokers. A 1/4 inch steel all welded, indirect fire box, probably do a 20" barrel and 36" in length.
I did look at the little gizmo you're talking about. And I do think it is a pretty good bang for your buck. The problem is I couldn't do more than one brisket, forget a rack of ribs, and 20 pounds of chicken along with it.
Besides that one, I haven't seen any other viable options, they're all poorly constructed, flimsy, and full of gimics, one grill I looked at had little led's to above the knobs for no reason, another had a crappy fridge. Those webers besides the rediculous prices looks like it will actually last for more than a year before I have to start working on it.
This Char-Griller is pretty sturdy, and made of some pretty thick sheet metal. I just like that I have both options. When I said 'gas', I meant propane. I cooked some steaks and chickens on the 3-burner unit, and they cooked real even, and didn't take long to cook. The only problem I have with it is I'm not too impressed with the thermometers that came with it. Not sure how accurate they are.
If you want a good smoker, look at the New Braunfels Smoker line. Academy sells those as well. I know big time smoke cooker's who swear by their products.
