I agree completely. They are versatile also. "Quick" smoking, fire pit, s'mores, just about anything is possible. Reasonably priced in various sizes according to space and needs, not to mention great availability of spare parts and accessories.
I bought a "smokin' joe" or "little smoky" whatever the smallest one is, about 9 years ago, it has been used as a fire pit numerous times for marshmallows or drinks outside after dinner when the temp drops. It is convenient and reasonably efficient with charcoal. Additionally it has never been covered or brought inside during winter. I have replaced the top grill once.
I have a much newer full size Weber with no bells or whistles which gets used less because of the number of people in the household, but is much better for slow indirect cooking and smoking, and obviously useful in feeding the hungry masses when they arrive in the summer.
