Charcoal, gas or both?

Anything that gives me a socially acceptable reason to drink beer and play with fire works…

Well - that's the other part. Making the perfect fire seems like real fun.

Don't forget the smoker.
Any damn fool can grill...

Doesn't @Horace have a BGE?
Yes but it cracked in so many places. I tossed it and got a big cheap metal one, which worked fine. But I stopped using it after I ran over one of its wheels with my car. Then I got a little Lodge cast iron grill, which also works fine, and conserves the lump.

Both, definitely. I recommend a Weber 22" kettle with a Vortex and/or a Slow N Sear. then you can do some fine smoking. Both are easier than setting up two-zone.
But you need a good gas grill as well. You do not have to spend a huge amount of money. I cooked on one of these down in Florida and it did a great job. It won't last forever, but at $100 each used, you can buy a new one every few years.
If you want something that will last I recommend a Weber or a Broil King. I found a Broil King signet 320 3 burner for $80 used.
I think I may spring for the basic Weber kettle.

This is what I have. I recommend the premium model. Much easier to clean.
I also have a PK original. You can’t go wrong with either one.

That one looks great - you're right, the basic one just seems to have an ash pan. I'll def go for the better kettle. I didn't realize there were tiers - I was referring to the ones with built in tables, etc.
