In the market for a grill

Check out the new Weber Smokefire grill. For doing both grilling and smoking it looks like the one to get.

I have a RecTec 680 which is replaced by the Bull. Same but Bull is all stainless. I like it and it makes things simple but it's really not a grill. I prefer direct heat for quick grilling of steaks and burgers etc. For smoking, pellet cookers don't produce enough smoke flavor for some people. That includes me, I don't want heavy ash tray smoke but the RecTec produces really light flavor. Sometimes I can't taste any smoke at all.

I recently bought the Masterbuilt Gravity Feed and it's the best grill/smoker combo IMO. Maintains low temps and quickly gets up to searing temp. It takes about 5 minutes to go from 250 to 600. Great flavor. Very versatile smoker/grill.

Id like something that i can use to cook low and slow but also if i had some friends over and wanted to cook up some brats or burgers, i could get that done as well...basically the best of both worlds. these replies are fantastic, thank you very much.

I was staying out of this discussion because I'm not a pellet or ceramic user, but since other options have been brought up. Here's my suggestion:

A Weber 26" Kettle. Plenty of space for almost anything you want and can easily go hot/fast or low/slow.

Here's a side-by-side with the my 26" and 22" Kettles for reference.

After weighing the pros and cons - i ended up going with a Pit Boss 820 pro - Can smoke at low temps and grill at high temps. Such a great grill.
