Have you ever thought about a Kamdo style grill, like the Kamado Joe, or Big Green Egg? This type of grill will do great smoked meat, with very little attention required. I can fire it up and get my BJ stabilized a 225°, add my pork butt's, then go to sleep and forget about them until the next day..It also allows you to do high temp cooks, bake things, make Pizza and I do a lot of reverse sear steak cooks with my BJ. The Kamado cookers are a great option and very versatile.
