I've been happily using a Traeger pellet smoker for years, but now that it's rusting, I've been thinking about going electric maybe an MES 140D. I had read somewhere that when wood is burned to generate heat, as opposed to smoldering to produce smoke, the chemicals emitted are different. The article went so far as to claim that you won't get a smoke ring from smoldered wood. Not that the ring matters, but I found myself wondering if there is a chemical difference, might there be other differences, like taste? Thoughts
