You are speaking my language man!
You should check out
www.biggreenegg.com for a pretty cool Charcoal grill/ceramic smoker. They have 2 sizes.. I m thinking about getting the biggest in addition to my built in gas grill!
But don't give up on a gas grill, there are many benefits. The biggest of which is the easy cleanup! For a man who doesn't like to do manual labor, you really should think about it!
