I am in the market for a new smoker and considering my options. I current have a traeger pro 22. I use it for a single brisket or 2 or 3 pork butts and size isn't usually an issue but considering upgrading to a 36" for the few times I could use a little more space.
my questions are; a) is a larger pellet grill more or less effecent with pellets? am i going to burn a lot more pellets keeping a bigger space hot? b) is a single cut of meat in a large(r) space going to get less benifit from the same amount of smoke? versus the smoke being closer in a smaller grill?
not sure how to get my answer, unless someone has had experience with both.
