This is insanely idiotic Heat and smoke are what cooks and provides the flavor no matter what shape the fuel is in. There is a slight learning curve but the food tastes just as good on a pellet grill. Sorry your friends don’t know how to use their grills.
Most people don't know how to smoke properly on a pellet smoker. Those smokers burn so efficiently that they don't produce much smoke. Don't just set it to your desired temp and start cooking or you will never get good smoke.
To get a good smoke ring on them, you need to start your cook off at lower temps for the first few hours of the cooks.
When I use my Blazn, I start it off at 185 so the pellets don't burn as efficiently put off more smoke. Once I get about 3 hours in, then I bump my temp up to 225, 250, etc for the rest of the cook. No need to buy a smoke tube, etc..
BBQ for me is a hobby, I have more pits than sense. I cook on everything from stick burners to homemade charcoal smokers and I can turn out great BBQ on any of them. At the end of the day it's not the smoker you are using, it's the knowledge of how to use it properly. The basics apply universally amongst all types of cookers.

100% correct. Which proves my point. A computer is NEVER needed to produce a good result. I have no doubt the marketing people for these grill companies are laughing all the way to the bank at people willing to throw money at such an unnecessary item.
Secondly, I know someone will say “but, but it’s easier and I don’t have to tend to it all day.” Ok, but if you have a non-electronic pit and you can’t step away to do some chores, you’re not using it properly.
I have one buddy with a Traeger who told me he can just let his brisket cook all day while he’s at work and it will be done when he gets home. Ok buddy, I’m sure that will come out juicy and delicious. That’s the mindset of your typical computer smoker.
