Subject: Re: smoking
If you list all the reasons why an offset smoker is superior to a pellet grill, I will agree with every one of them. And I still prefer the pellet grill.

I like building and tending a fire and love the purity and tradition of it all, but it is a big time commitment, so that means smoking doesn't get done as much as I like. Still, I remained a traditionalist until I got an opportunity for steep discount on a new Traeger and I've never looked back. The ease of use means I smoke way more than I used to, and the consistency is better too.
