I hate to try to use a regular grill to smoke. It would be hard to keep the heat indirect while maintaining correct temperatures, and adding wood for smoke, and water could be a bit of an issue too. Could be done but not as easily as a purpose built smoker.
Valid points ... the kettle grill is a jack of all trades but certainly a master of well, maybe direct heat grilling?
I've never run out of water while smoking, usually a 12 oz beer poured into an old pie tin is overflowing at the end with all fat and water rendered from the flesh
Adding wood for smoke isn't an issue, all the wood goes in at the beginning, while laying out a snake of coals for 3-6 hours.
Maintaining the temperature is the hard part, fussing with vents, etc. Advantage to the electric smoker here.
