That's totally a valid way to approach this. My family wouldn't have the patience for charcoal all the time (and I don't have the time). Charcoal only comes out when I have zero planned for the day - so the gasser and a charcoal grill it is.
As for a cheap charcoal BBQ - a Weber Original Kettle is a great way to go. At $159 it's not much more than the cheap Walmart specials at $100. (yes you want one with a lid). I'd recommend a 22" at minimum - you need leave room for indirect cooking.
