I have been cooking on a charcoal grill most of my life and, in the great grilling tradition, was trained by my dad. But this means my knowledge is limited to direct heat cooking and I am hoping to build some true bbq skills. So that is why I am here. Right now, my cooking arsenal is limited to a Brinkmann Professional Dual Zone Charcoal Grill and a Char-Broil "Tru-Infrared" 2 burner gas grill that I use when I don't want to wrestle with the Brinkmann.
Given the dual zone set-up on the Brinkmann, I think it would be an okay starter cooker for smoking, but I have 2 young children and don't want to babysit them and it for a long cook. So I spent my first several weeks reading cooker reviews and digging into the pit to find a set it and forget it cooker option. At this point, it looks like the most common cookers of this kind are pellet grills, the PBC, and the BGE/Kamado Grills (though opinions vary). I am leaning toward the pellet grill, but was hoping the collective knowledge of the forum could weigh in on the set it and forget reality of these cookers and any other recommendations for cooker types I should consider given my current circumstances.
Thanks!
