Both, there have been many times when both a smoker and a grill were needed for the same cook.

I use one of two methods (both of which I learned about from the brethren) to cook LnS on the kettle, either the firebrick method, which is pretty much a cheap version of the smokenator, that will give me about 5-6 hours of consistent temps (which, as I understand it, is about the same amount of time you can rely on from the Smokenator with one load of coals). The downside to this method, just like with the Smokenator, is that if you really want to cook LnS, you need to replenish the water pan regularly, and if you are doing longer cooks, you also need to replenish the coals. For longer cooks, I use the ring of fire method. With this method, I can maintain temps of around 210-220 for as long as 10 hours with no water pan. As a matter of fact, last Sunday, I put a brisket on at about 8 p.m. It took about 2 hours to get up to temp, and then maintained that temp (210-220) for about 10 hours. In the morning, I banked some unlit coals to one side walled off by fire bricks, took the remaining lit coals and put them on top, and finished the cook that way. Anyway, nothing against the Smokenator, but for the cost of 2 fire bricks I can do exactly the same thing.

I have the small and large WSMs as well as a kettle with a smokenator. O use the smokenator for chicken and ribs and it works great, just not for cooks over 5 hours. Unless you buy the hinged grill so you can add coals. But opening the lid kills your temp. I also got the hovergrill which adds another grill level to the kettle so you can have two layers of wings. I bought my dad the little wsm and he loves it. They are super easy to use and make amazing 'cue.

First, you're a good son for getting your dad a grill or smoker. My son got me a Weber grilll for Christmas several years and we had lots of great time grilling on it. I recently gave him my WSM since he's now in an apartment that'll let him cook outside (figured he wanted the Weber OTG but his roommate has a grill).
So think long term and get what you think you might want to get back in the future.
