[QUOTE="alex3610, post: 16418287, member: 114652"] Currently I have a Weber Genesis propane grill with a side burner, a Weber Performer charcoal grill, and a vertical cabinet propane smoker. The smoker has really gotten me interested in doing more smoking but it's a pain in the ass. Temp fluctuates a lot and have to keep the little fire box filled with wood chunks. You really need to keep an eye on it the entire time it's running. The taste of food out of my Performer beats the propane grill all day every day, but it's a lot more work and with a 2 and 4 year old it hardly ever gets used anymore. The solution? As many others have said, pellet grill. I'm going with the Camp Chef Woodwind Wifi 24. Under $1k, so not cheap but not one of the high end brands either. Has a PID controller and obviously WIFI capabilities. The Camp Chef also has something called the slide-grill that lets you slide open a heat shield to convert it to direct heat for grilling vs. slow cooking. Not to mention with the PID controller you can use it like an oven because it will hold temps very accurately. Think of anything from lasagna to cinnamon rolls but now with a smoke flavor. Very versatile. Also, you can buy a propane sear box that hangs on the side for reverse searing after smoking something. At a minimum it's going to replace my Performer and the vertical smoker.
