I'm vehemently opposed to propane being at all associated with grilling, plus you're paying $250 for that wonderful propane junk (the 22" premium Weber kettle grill is ~$150).
Get the regular Weber and spend $15 to get one of these. Don't bother with the link's "pro tip" about vegetable oil... It's idiot-proof - paper in the bottom, charcoal in the top, light the paper. Bonus: it gives you something to do with those ads that are always coming in the mail.
I would go with:
Weber Premium Kettle
OXO 16" Tongs
Lavatools Javelin Instant Thermometer
Maverick 733 w/ Bear Paw shredders
Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter
I never used gloves or bricks.
For long smokes I use the snake method. For shorter hotter cooks like chicken, I use the minion method. Keep your top vent open all the time and adjust your bottom intake to adjust your tempature (closed cold - open hotter).
An industrious grillperson can do a lot with a 22" Weber Premium. I use mine for grilling at super high temperatures, or for smoking using the 'snake' method with charcoal and wood chunks, or some well-placed bricks. Plus you can get it in burnt orange.
Otherwise if you want to upgrade to a more traditional smoker, the Weber Smokey Mountain, or WSM, is a great value for a good first smoker with a long lifespan.
