Found some matches.
I've been grilling for years and started my smoking venture with a Masterbuilt dual fuel tower smoker. I removed the Gas tank and added a coal basket to run coal 100% of the time. The seal of the tower smoker wasn't all that great and I found the temps between zones a pain to manage at times. I later found a PK grill and things got way way better for me. I plan on keeping the PK Classic for life and handing it down to my son. 
I eventually got myself a Heatermeter and automated smoking is the way to go for long coal/wood smokes. The only issue with the PK is the capacity. For 2-3 people, the PK has more than enough room to feed em. Although, I would like to be able to smoke a full brisket and a pork shoulder or a few slabs of ribs if necessary to feed a party. I would like to stay under 1000 for my next smoker and It looks like a UDS might be the next best option. I would prefer to have something that's somewhat portable and easy to maintain temps. I would also like to use my Heatermeter to control the temps if necessary. Sorry if these type of threads are common and sometimes unwanted, but as you can see, I've dabbled with the hobby and truly am looking for advice here.
