Kamado can do the lot but if you're not going to do much slow cooking I would put my money into something else as you could get a good grill bbq for less dollar.

As others have said, it really depends if you're going to do all day long slow cooking.
If not, I'd probably get a Weber kettle (which will also have quite a bit more cooking space for a much lower price). You can still do indirect cooking in them (whole chickens, joints of meat, etc) but maybe not the full day kind of thing (or at least not as easily).

Fwiw here are my details / use case:
- like cooking / eating / BBQing
- not that into the BBQ scene
- a bit time poor
- tend to cook for bigger groups of people, but once upon a time just cooked for 2
IME a gas one is a great shout. They're in a range of budgets, normally a good size, heat quick so as a couple as the weather improves you can just wack it on. But I do love charcoal.
Going to be brave and controversial, but I'm not really convinced by these Kamado egg things unless you're doing slow cooks. They're fucking tiny and take a million years to feed people if you're doing a traditional bbq. IME it's a supplementary cooking device like a SV wand, not a primary.

So in the market for a new BBQ, I'm open to suggestions... Should I whip myself for not getting the Aldi kamado? Is a Kamado just for low and slow cooking? Usually cooking for 2 but occasionally up to 8 people. What would you go for? Can be gas or charcoal. Garden space is limited so hoping for something that can do a lot of styles of cooking.
