Tell me more. I need a grill. Was originally going to go pellet grill so I can smoke. But for normal day in day out stuff it's probably more feasible to go gas grill. If I do that, I can always go gas smoker on the side.
That’s the setup I currently have: gas grill and a vertical propane smoker. It works, but has some limitations. It’s pretty small, so I couldn’t fit a full packer brisket or anything. Additionally, it is a little inconsistent for temperatures. Certainly not a set it and forget it type as it get affected by the weather and wind quite a bit. On cold days, I frequently can’t get it much hotter than 225-250. Once I get it dialed in it is pretty good, but it varies on the day. I’m sure different units might give a different experience though. Mine also burns through wood chunks pretty quickly. This doesn’t affect the temperature much, but obviously I want the smoke flavor! I have to add wood every hour or two.
Let me know if you have any other specific questions! Depending on how often you plan to use it or what you’re using it for, it definitely works and I’ve put out some awesome food. I’m planning to move to a pellet grill at some point though.
