I am really wanting to make my new grill purchases sometime mid-summer, but I am still torn. I want to smoke.....but I think I would also like to be able to just do quick grilling sessions if I need to. I don't have the $ to get both a Weber Smokey Mountain and a One Touch Kettle, so my question ultimately is.....is it better to get the One Touch Kettle, and get something like the Smokenator or use fire bricks to be able to smoke, or is it better to get the WSM and use the grilling mods I've seen people do where you basically just set the cooking grate right on top of the charcoal ring in the bottom of the smoker? I will normally be cooking for 6-7 people, and I honestly don't think I will do a ton of smoking just more due to time and cost restraints....for the most part we normally cook hamburgers/hot dogs and chicken. Thanks!
