Check out a Broil King Keg. You can bake on it, grill on it and smoke on it. It is a Kamado, like a Big Green Egg but it's very well insulated and the outside can be touched even if the inside is 700 degrees! Try that on any other grill, lol. As for the deck, just put a deck mat down and you'll be fine. One of its best features is that is portable, can be taken to camping trips, tailgating, etc. It has a hitch adapter and hooks right up to your receiver. Will not crack like ceramic. Very cool and it's the only Kamado in the world that does this. It's a fuel miser too, you load it up with lump and you can cook for 50 hours on a fire bowl of lump. When you're done cooking, you close the vents, the fire dies and you relight it the next time you're ready to cook. No waste! I love my 2 kegs
