Even Cook Temps Recommendation

I am looking for a cooker to do the following:

- Even cooking temperatures throughout the entire grill surface(s)
- Insulated or very low heat loss (for low fuel consumption/high efficiency)
- Portable/Patio/Backyard duty
- Outdoor durable (low rust maintenance)
- Dual smoke & grill (reverse sear) capable
- Charcoal fuel source (wood chunks for flavor)
- 7-8 rib slabs at a time
- Easy cleaning
- Easy control (perhaps provisions for BBQ Guru or like controller)
- Cost is no object

I currently have a Traeger Texas (good but no charcoal) and a Kamado Komodo (which does all of the above perfectly, but I am looking for more horizontal surface area). I have been at it for nearly 50 years, but I am not up on the latest in design technology.

I assume an offset might be the ticket for even temps, but I am open to all suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I also have a Bull gasser which works well for searing, I was just looking for an all-in-one option.

Maybe one of these:

persoanly I feel you should stay with multi cookers, it will give you versitillity when you are cooking big loads and different meats that you would want to use different temps..

I might be wrong, but this one looks like your can bring your Tri Tip to 120F then move it over the fire box for a cross-hatch sear (in theory anyway).

However, maybe you are right. If I remove the dual smoke/sear requirement, then what would you recommend?

Thanks.

This might work:

However, I wonder if the vertical grates would see significantly different (> +/- 15F) temps (from low to high)?
