What do you guys think of the combo grill and smoker setups that are out there? I saw one yesterday that looked good. I've been grilling for so long that I don't want to give up that option.

Kamado. The versatility is arguably its greatest advantage. I can smoke pork shoulders for 16 hours at 225F, I can grill burgers at normal grill temps, and I can sear a steak or fire a pizza at around 900F. If you're looking for a legitimate smoker with the most versatility, the kamado is it. If you're looking to flip a switch and be done, the kamado - although very easy to operate - is not the best option.Originally Posted by LA Ute
This looks like a very appealing option. Is it true that you're ready to cook in 15 minutes? If so, I could see myself giving up my gas barbecue. It looks like if you just want to grill, you can get to the right temperature simply by controlling the airflow. Do you use the special natural wood charcoal they offer?

Hard to argue, especially when you consider the price.
Looks like it's possible to spend a lot of money on one of those as well....

Its all relative. A man of your stature shall not be bothering by such trivial matters.
for the 4th I'm smoking some ribs with cream soda, captain Morgan chipotle BBQ sauce. should be pretty good
Mmmmmm...pork loin is next to godliness.
The guys I work with are all huge fans of the big steel keg. They swear by it. I considered it but ultimately went for the traeger.
That's one of my 3.

They cook great, are super efficient and cheap (I have less than $100 into this one) but they are a lot more work being charcoal and wood chunk based. I have never coiked on a Kamado or BGE but I imagine they are similar setup wise.
It is hard to beat the flip the switch ease of a pellet grill.
Did you end up getting something? My traeger is all ready for me and I should be able to fire it up this weekend for some salmon and a couple of whole chickens.
Has anyone ever cooked with the pecan wood? I bought some of that and am looking forward to trying it. Got some applewood to do pork.
I am pretty intrigued by one of the Kamados because it seems to allow both smoking and grilling pretty easily. But I will want to hang onto my gas grill until I am sure a Kamado works for me.

Have any of you tried or heard word about the Cabela propane smoker / grill?

They sell an electric as well.
Looks interesting, and you can't beat the price. What do the smoker veterans here think?

Yeah, I am worried about the same thing. But the one I saw was a smoker on one side and a grill on the other. Here's a description:

It's kind of a monster but it does do everything.
EDIT: Looks like too much work:
