Bought a BGE back in the Summer of 04 as I remember, whenever I want to do a small batch of BBQ Ribs or whatever I use the Egg. It imparts a different flavor than an indirect firebox Smoker, in that with the Egg you are using a direct fire method which gives the meat a charcoal grill taste.

For the quick grill & sear em with high heat nothing beats the charcoal Weber Kettle for shear ease of use and quality of product. Bought mine back in the winter of 82 for $39 and have been using it ever since.

The third component of my trilogy of outdoor cooking appliances is a Klose 36" Drum BBq with offset firebox made of 1/4 steel plate with 1/2 inch plate for the firebox which I bought in October of 05. This is a traditional BBQ smoker of professional quality, as it is the thickness of the plate that retains heat and thus provides a stable temperature for consistant quality of product. this unit will take hardwood logs and is more in line with turning out production than a rack or two. Unfortunately I have not used this unit in the past year or so...
