Gas grill, Smoker, or both?

Am I the only one around here using a good ol' Smokey Joe?
We camp every weekend in the summer/fall.
I take that thing everywhere.
I have a portable gas grill but no idea what brand it is.
 
Anyone have any opinions or other on the Weber Searwood pellet grill/smoker?

I'm finally gonna take the plunge and get in on this. All the vids and comments I've seen, read all seem very good and encouraging.

It would sitting next to a Weber propane grill at our oly pen property and be used a lot from March thru Oct.

Cannot wait to do my own fresh tuna kabobs, etc.

Looking forward to yore opinions and thoughts.

Fellas, I’m coming to the brain trust, but we are getting a house built and I need to have a pretty good grill set up. What do you all have or think is a good set up? I want both gas and smoker. Traeger? Green Mountain I have been told has a better technology as far as the app goes.
Both.
 
I have about a 7 YO ReqTeq similar to their Flagship 1100. (Can’t remember model, maybe RT-800?)

Works flawlessly, great cooks, and still looks like new on the outside

Pretty similar in price to Weber you posted about

Reviews for the Weber look pretty good and reputation alone is good
 
what do you use each one for
I love being outside. The black stone was a gift and a lot of them are redundant I honestly could just get away with just the kamado. I use the black stone mainly for breakfasts on the weekend or even some stirfrys, also take it with us camping. Kamado gets most use, great for steaks and chops and chicken, also like using it for pizzas, love that I can get that sucker up to 900 for a great sear. Traeger for smoking, I typically am smoking something most saturdays

I have a charcoal grill/smoker and a pellet grill.

My favorite thing is reverse searing my steaks outside now.

Lower on the PitBoss until it gets to 5-10 degrees below, get the blackstone hot as hell while it runs, sear the steak in butter on the blackstone when it's ready.

Fajitas on the Blackstone is so fun - one burner for onions/peppers, one burner for chicken, one burner for steak, one burner for heating tortillas.
 
I have a smoker, gas grill and blackstone.
Use all 3 pretty evenly.
 
Someone must have upset him because he messaged us that he was leaving and never coming back. I’ve been working on him to make his return though.
Tell him we all know he’s been banging Roger out in the back 40 barn all these years.

Edit - and anyone who says anything to Nancy will be quartered.
