I will just leave this here


 
I use small butane torch to get mine lit at one end. A regular propane torch would work too. If your grill has a side burner, that would work good too.
 
No. But you could make a platform out of wood to set in there that the Q100 would sit on. That is for a Q200....or maybe a Q300. But weber did not make those for the baby Q.

Man...... just wait until you smoke your first meatloaf --- its game over after that - you'll want smoke on everything after that.
I just hope you are one of the ones that has a palate for the different smoke flavors and can appreciate them --- many don't have it and only taste 'smoke'. If you are in the latter group - smoke wood doesn't matter.

I'm sure it will matter and make a difference to me.

I’m more of a metal guy, lol. Oh and I need a drip tray. Those looked relatively inexpensive.
 
Just wait until you get a real smoker. Then you can be unstoppable Josh :D As for pellets, maybe look for something you would like the flavor of. I.E. Hickory and fruit wood blends will tend to give you a lighter/sweeter smoke, Oak surprisingly is sweeter as well. I would buy small bags. Don't go buying the huge 40# bags or even the 20#. Try to find the smaller bags if you can. Likely want to avoid mesquite though. It's VERY assertive if you're not expecting it. My fav is the blends with Oak/Hickory or Oak/Hickory/Cherry. Great all around smoke. Rather than trying to find a single type.

I would like to try a smoker and performer or something similar at some point for sure. Also my brother in-law wants a nice GMG so I will grab a nice used one to clean up for him at some point and I'll try it first. That will be a nice smoker test.
The Weber Kamado looks good too but I have no idea. I have a lot of projects so it will be a while before I invest my time into something new. I definitely want to do some smoking and slow cooking and stuff like that when I'm retired. I wouldn't mind dabbling in it though at this point if I can find the time.
 
If I did not have the pellet grills I'd try hard to find a Weber Summit Kamado. While I know purists will say "stick burner". I don't have the time, patience or place to safely run one. So the WSK is the only worthy "other" product I'd use.
 
I have only used gas grills so I don't even know what to expect from anything else. I will always have gas grills but it would be cool to have an outdoor kitchen with multiple options.

You could always start off with picking up a cheap kettle to see if it's something you might like. I grew up on food cooked on a Weber kettle, had I not been given a Weber gas grill as a wedding present I might still be cooking on one. I've always enjoyed the food I turn out on my gasser and you just can't beat the convenience. Every once in a while I look at buying a kettle but never pull the trigger on it. I don't know that it means anything other than I'm satisfied with my old grill.
