Moved to the pellet grill after many years of chunks and charcoal. I have to say, I am impressed. So many said "you won't like it, you're not gonna get the same smoke flavor"! I have to disagree. So far everything that has come off of it has had the right amount. Be it brisket, salmon, ribs or burgers. The clean up is so much easier. Maintaining temperatures is much nicer. Ive been converted.
