Best praise vs top criticism for Char-Griller Gravity Fed 980

Best Praise
+3 pts
I did this dance. As someone said one way is to just keep cheap smoker and get a simple Webber. I used the Char-Griller Gravity and it works pretty good for both. Ended up giving it to family member because of size. Went with bulls-eye you are looking at and for my money it is best way to go for what you are looking for. The deluxe version will get hotter, but I found the regular gets hot enough for most of my needs.
