Last night I rotisserie on our new gas grill, I know, heresy.  Now I know I can't go back to gas grill for main cooking.  It was very good but missed the greatness of the egg and cooking over wood and charcoal.  A bit easier in the frozen tundra of Chicago winters and it has a charcoal chip attachment for flavor but not the same.  You all have converted me.

    A knock-off on @YukonRon 's pearl of wisdom above:
    "Judgement comes from experience, experience comes from poor judgement."
    All that said, use what you want to get the results you are looking for.  Different tools for different cook styles.  Bottom-line; have fun.

    It'll be OK.

    Personally, I don't want everything I cook to always have a heavy smoke, light smoke, or any smoke flavor. Other grilling options allow me seek the flavors I want.

    Heck, I even like to do the occasional Kahlua pork butt in my crock pot. How many Hail Mary's will I need to wash away that transgression? :)

    @HeavyG -  Kahlua pig is a great cook.  Need to fire that up in the near-term.  No hail mary's here.  But if you pull off 3 confirmed miracles you can become a saint  ;)
    Apologize for the sideways turn.

    Glad you're doing well my friend. "For no particular reason" is the best reason to twist off.

    Last night, I did reverse sear strip steaks and finished them on the searing area of the napolean.  Worked really well.

    Pick up an A-mazen-N tube smoker and some pellets. Its what I do for simple smokes. Lots of different wood flavors and you can get sample pack size bags.
