Thanks for all the responses so far - I'm off to research some of the
links and information you've provided. My suspicion that I might need
2 units instead of an all in one is pretty much confirmed. Any further
opinions would also appreciated - I'll probably be another month
before I run out and start purchasing/fabricating anything.

That 2 drum unit looks pretty nice. Since it requires 3 drums to make,
I'd be tempted to make an open grill from the last piece strictly for
grilling. The WSM is very tempting. I don't like the height (I'm tall)
and capacity of the unit, but it is definitely a proven design. I
believe they sell (or you can fab) racks to hold the slabs of ribs
vertical in order to get more on the grill at once. Ribs would be the
only thing that I'd feel cramped on space for with that design.

The egg/kamando type grill is unfortunately out of my range, since I
have to use the check I get from George W to pay for my daughter's
braces. Sounds like a great style of grill though.

So at this moment I'm thinking maybe buy a CGSP + WSM if I don't go
the drum route. If I went with the drum, then I'd build the 2-drum
smoker along with a grill from the last piece of drum.

Thanks,
