My first pellet smoker which replaced an electric smoker. I love that I can grill burgers and steak just like on a gas grill. What you give up is smoke production above ~200 degrees. I’ve smoked some wings and ribs so far. I’ve learned to set the grill to either the smoke setting (~150 degrees) or the 180 degree setting to allow my meat to soak up some of the smoke before increasing the temperature for the remainder of the cook. Therefore my cook times are longer. The ease of automated feed of the pellet fuel makes up for it. 

I was worried about inconsistent temperatures, but the controller on my unit dances right around my set temp. The grill has plenty cooking area, a problem I had with briskets above 10lbs in the electric smoker. The build materials feel quality and the cover doesn’t feel like it will rip to shreds in a few months.
