I have a Broil King on the deck with a small Weber for charcoal on the patio. I also have a Weber smoker that I run with good charcoal and apple wood chunks for smoking.

The Broil King can be made to cook about anything...rotating spit...ceramic grid...searing hot or smoking with one burner only. I does a fine job on nice thick steaks or hamburgers.

Buy a flame resistant pad for below any barbecue on a deck and have a fire extinguisher handy. Decks burn real fast.

As I run the Broil King hot for searing steaks, I get little "gas grill taste". For smoking, you must brine or marinate to get the meat to take on the taste and you must have true wood smoke.

In Kansas City, you don't want to embarrass yourself with poor barbecue or grilled dinners and I rarely have with this combination of two inexpensive webers and a fairly pricey Broil King.
