Kamado Joe & Traeger Pro 22

So I have had my Traeger Pro 22 for 3 years now. I also had a cheap $25 charcoal briquette grill that was my first ever.

Anyways I use the Traeger for Ribs and turkey and to smoke chicken. I find it very hard to sear anything on it. Or it takes hella time. Anyways I just got gifted a Kamado Joe Classic 1.

What would be the best ways to use both in a cookout or what would be the strengths?

I feel like the Traeger would be strictly for long smokes like Brisket, Turkey, and ribs while the Kamado would be doing the burgers, chicken breast, searing, steaks, normal grill stuff instead of smoking. Is that accurate or do I have a redundant setup and should return the Kamado?

TLDR: The big idea: smoke on the Traeger, finish on the Kamado worth it? Or return the Kamado I just got gifted

I’m retiring for sure the $25 brisquette grill. It’s fucked lol

Set up idea

Here's something I came up with for a KJ grill setup. The chicken is on now, but opinions please. Some critics say 2 zone grilling isn't possible. Yes, I used briquets, no lighter fluid, they're B&B. I'm not worried about it. Walled off about a 3rd of bowl area with fire brick. Piled charcoal behind brick, same as I do on Weber kettle. Half moon plate on top. Grill still sits down on top of divide and conquer, over the brick. Experiment

Vent/Exhaust options for a charcoal bbq?

Have a kamado Joe, and am looking at ways to vent the smoke in my covered balcony.

Anyone have a suggestion?
