Hello Everyone,
I'm around a half a century so been grilling and smoking for awhile and have tried a few different systems. Always been a Weber fan and have always owned several. I currently use two kettles, one original (that just got stored after next purchase) and one gold, just purchased a S330 Genesis, got rid of an old Genesis Gold a few years ago and went without but the advantages of quick cooks and a side burner are hard to go without on the patio. I have a 18.5" WSM that replaced a Bradley smoker (three years ago) had that Bradley for a long time and it served me well, just wanted to use charcoal and forget the electricity (so have no plans on buying a temperature controller for it even though I think it's a great idea for low heat, slow cooks). To complete my Weber pile, I have a Smokey Joe and I have a Weber Fire pit (think they stopped making them) the kids cook hotdogs and s'mores over it sometimes.
I am one who believes I need a kettle, gas grill and smoker in order to cook outdoors, even though my wife doesn't agree but she likes the food!
From Minnesota so yes - it's cold so I stick to gas in the winter and don't bother with the Kettle and Smoker, this year we have been lucky and had several days warm enough to use the kettle.
