I know this is the pellet smoker forum, so the answers may be a bit skewed.
I was really thinking about getting an electric smoker, but I’ve started leaning towards a pellet smoker the more I’ve read. I think what’s going to make the difference for me is how well pellet smokers work as a grill. If one could replace my smoker and grill, that would ultimately seal the deal.
I already have a charcoal kamado grill. While it works extremely well as a smoker and pretty good as a grill, I just don’t find myself using it as much as I’d like because of the extra hassle involved. And my wife won’t touch it at all because she’s intimidated by charcoal. My plan was to buy an electric smoker and a gas grill. If a pellet smoker will do a reasonable job as both of those, I think I’ll love it.
I’m looking at REC TEC, FireCraft, and Camp Chef Woodwind
