So I'm starting to get the itch to get grilling again, and I'm resolved to get a new charcoal grill this summer. I currently have the Aussie they sell at HD. I've had two over the last 10 years. They do a good job, but don't provide a lot of surface area, so it gets tight when I have company. I'm looking for something larger, as well as something that can be used for smoking. I have looked at the grills that have the offset smoker capability at HD, Lowes, and Sears, but none of them appear to be all that sturdy. It would be fun to be able to do some wood-fired all-day smoking. What I'm looking for is reviews from anyone who has experience with the charcoal grills from the big box stores, or if anyone has experience with some of the more expensive charcoal smokers. I have read an extensive thread on the big green egg, and similar type grills, and I don't think that's the direction I want to go. Any input would be appreciated - I'm hoping to buy so that I'll be ready go go once spring hits.
