The advantage to the ceramic smokers, is that they are far less sensitive to the outside temperatures and wind. So here in Canada, a Weber Kettle grill, or a set up like Franck described, would only be good for a few months of the year here. I think Broil King has a similar set up called the Big Steel Keg, and its less expensive, but only marginally so.
