Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- some bonus burnt ends on my Pellet Smoker.
- I got a pellet and it made a world of difference.
- But I switched to a pellet smoker a little over a year ago and that is definitely the way to go IMO. If I knew then what I know now Id have gotten a pellet years ago and skipped the electric. Its so much more versatile and while neither...
- most people will probably go with a pellet smoker due to ease of use.
- Pellet smokers are very convenient. set it forget it. (Then 12 hours later, remember you are indeed cooking)
Cons
- Since you’re currently a stick burner, you’ll be disappointed by the pellet smoker’s lack of smoke flavor. I mean, there’s some/a little but nowhere near to what you’re used to.
- Have a pellet smoker but it’s just not for me. No flavor like wood
- I originally wanted a pellet smoker because I wanted the fun, easy, lazy way out of smoking, but saw that comes with a sacrifice of losing smoke flavor, so that was a no for me.
- Parent context: Any smoker I have to plug in is not worth my time. And they produce shit smoke flavor without gimmicks or extra settings/tubes. Why bother? Reply: Any smoker I have to plug in is not worth my time. And they produce shit...
- I think wood and lump is the only way to get good bbq. Plus there’s no challenge with a pellet smoker. I get the convenience element, but when in want to set it and forget it I use my crock pot and make a stew or something.

I got a pellet and it made a world of difference.
But I switched to a pellet smoker a little over a year ago and that is definitely the way to go IMO. If I knew then what I know now Id have gotten a pellet years ago and skipped the electric. Its so much more versatile and while neither are hard to use, the pellet smoker is definitely easier and less fussy.
