I need to do some dry runs to get a feel for the right quantities of charcoal/heat beads.
It's the thought of temperature controlled, iPhone enabled smoking that attracts me away from the kettle and toward the GMG.
I need something to pull me back from my natural tendency to over fuel a fire. Plus I already have direct heat grilling.
Ramsaye-
I totally get that. I do see the appeal of the set it and forget it approach. It sounds like the GMG is the way you want to go.
It didn't quite appeal to me though as I did want to learn to dial it in just right. It's why I do most of my own mechanics - I like to tinker and learn. I reserve the right to change my mind though after faffing around with charcoal for the next year or so.

I use both gmg and wsm modded with wifi PID
Both are great but for ease the gmg wins

So I had the same dilemma. I wanted to smoke and grill but did not want the faff of multiple devices. I ended up getting a Weber kettle and a slow n' sear modification. I discovered that they have a UK distro now so I ordered from them which saved me some money. The slow n' sear comes well reviewed and my brother in law rates them as well. He used to do competition BBQ using just a weber kettle so he has experience with two zone cooking.
Both have only just arrived and I have not had a chance to play with them yet. I need to do some dry runs to get a feel for the right quantities of charcoal/heat beads. I have ordered a few different varieties to try out.
All in about £250 for the Weber and the slow n' sear. Which is not bad in the grand scheme of things. You can spend way more. You can spend less.
