Propane, pellet, stick burner, charcoal…
I'd say, "you do you boo" and curious to hear your experience with your leaning.
I have a pellet grill in the middle of Houston and my green egg in north Lee County. Both have their pros and cons. I like both. Had a webber gas grill once upon a time and it had its purpose as well

Go the 500 if you go this way. Rec Tec is great.
From your posting, it doesn't appear you have kids, so you likely still have some time to mess with things. If you have the time, an offset is best, an Egg is next, even generic ones. Last is pellet. Last doesn't mean it is way behind the others, just means the other two produce better product, but you will work to get that product. For simple and pretty dang good, rec tec.
This is my setup.

Looks good MFBarnes!
Pellet grills are sooooooo easy to use.
But just not enough smoke for me personally.

I'm not sure which grill you need, but I'm positive it's somewhere in this video.

I picked up a Traeger during the Labor Day sales. I really like it. It's easier than charcoal (and safer when we are in drought conditions).
I've only smoked a few chickens on it and it seems to perform very well. The other times I've used it for grilling it's performed very well.

Bruh. That's a low blow. Anyway, the chicken turned out good last weekend. Fajitas and pork pastor going on the green egg today for the game vs the pigs. Gig 'em!
If you don't have separate smoker and kettle charcoal grill, this

If you are going to also have a real smoker i would get a weber genesis. Charcoal is a pain for every day use and the weber can grill a steak like nothing else in the price range

Hasty Bake!
I am still not a fan of pellet grills. Have had mine a few years. It cooks things, but it really doesn't do much for you on flavor. Things taste a lot better on charcoal and/or wood. And it isn't as easy as gas. So it is really in a zone that isn't that appealing. I had hoped for better.
Came here to post this! Damn you!
Why not both? Masterbuilt 800 Gravity Series Grill $797.00 Comes with griddle too.
I love my Char-griller auto kamado

Stainless kamado that sips charcoal and already has the fan and electronics built in. The downside is the only venting is via the built in fan. However for the price and functionality it has far exceeded my expectations.

I have never seen an egg with the lower vent that wasn't below the handle to open (or front).
Man oh man, have not seen a Hasty Bake in forever! And the cost, WOW!

Do it.
Granted I screwed up that pizza, but I wasn't going to scroll back far enough to find a good one. And even screwed up looking, that one was solid flavor wise.
Does the ash pan from the original fit on this? So you could use it both ways?
Have the original now. My pan has been close to rusting out but made it longer than I thought. Next season I'll have to buy a new one. If the electronics fail though would be nice to convert it back

I would go with a gravity-fed smoker over a pellet. While it takes slightly more attention, it will produce a much better product since you're still using charcoal and solid wood. Regardless of what you get, shop around and pay close attention to the metal thickness. The thicker the metal, the easier it is to maintain a consistent temperature.
If you're considering an offset, the Old Country smokers at Academy are a great value and in your budget

Yes original ash pan fits. I intend on getting an original ash pan for this purpose as well.
