If I can make another suggestion which is a definite option if you are restricted in terms of room/space or having neighbours close by who may object like apartment living, when moving into an apartment, I had to, very sadly, give up my Kamado Joe.
However, making the choice of a Weber Family Q, I can do pretty much everything a Kamado can do in a much smaller footprint.
You can smoke, you can low and slow indirect cook as well as hot and fast easily reaching temps of 300°C plus.
I loved my Kamado Joe and if we moved into a house again, I would get another but... it would not replace the Webber Q.
Just today for lunch, did a small lamb rump reverse sear and OMG!
Isn't Weber Q a gassie?!!!?!?! In tight spaces you could also go with a Weber go anywhere,

Webers are outstanding. Deceptively spacious and yeah that heat fucken cranks at a great rate of knots if you go inside and forget to turn it down like I often do.
My go to is a butterfly chicken, impossible to get wrong and always delicious.

Thanks guys. All good advice but the prime take away is @Hooroo advice about the Traeger and bra and panties. Taken on board sir!

@Catogrande remember mate, no shame in getting the Kamado but still going for a new set of bra & knickers. Every man deserves to treat himself now and then

Started that one ages ago, it's a by invitation thread though. Can't think why you were missed.

You can cook hot n fast things well, and cook lower and a little slower with the hood down.
I'd buy an quick read thermometer so you can check your meat. And a smoker box so you can add wood chips for that smokey flavour
- Spatchcock chicken. Under the hood, run the two side burners on mid-heat, around 350F, and check it doesn't get too hot, then sear the outside at the end if the skin doesn't crisp up enough. I like to marinate with home made chimichurri sauce, it's so tasty
- Lamb rump. Generally comes in little 1 person size chucks, boneless so there is no waste. I'd grill those like a steak, after a short period under low flame with the hood down (around 275F until you reach close to your required doneness)

@canefan Cheers mate, I didn't think of smoker box, but love a smokey taste. I will be trying your suggestions at some stage as I said, pretty keen to really start using it more.
My kids love yakitori style chicken wings too. Joint them, sprinkle all over with salt, marinate in a mixture of light soy, sake, mirin, white pepper and golden syrup. Just grill them and they'll be delicious
