In many ways, pellet smokers are as good as wood smokers, and in some ways they’re even better. Pellet smokers offer a more consistent and controllable method of cooking than other forms of smoking, so you can impart a smoky flavor into your food with less hassle. They are faster to start, easier to manage, and often do most of the work for you. Pellet smokers are also cleaner burning and easier to keep clean. While there’s something to be said for the flavor and character of wood and charcoal, pellet smokers can yield a more perfectly executed product.
