re: How do pellet grill’s compare to charcoal pits?

I fought the pellet smoker "fad" for a couple of years. Finally, I got tired of having 3 grills hanging around my patio, and got tired of manning the fire I could never get to a constant temperature without wild swings or manning the fire every 30 minutes. There is an art to a traditional charcoal smoker, but I don't have the time or attention span to cook with it very often. I smoke everything on my pellet smoker now (camp chef woodwind with sidekick burner). Haven't noticed a lack of flavor and everything comes out good on it.
For a brisket, fill the hopper, set the temp, and throw the meat on and walk away. I'll go hit a round of golf then come home to cooked ribs. You'll feel like you're cheating, but you'll also have more time on your hands and grill more often.

My buddy won one in a radio contest. He brought it to a lake cabin a bunch of us rented. He put on a boston butt, we all went out on the water all day. Came back to a perfectly cooked butt and nobody had to stay behind and tend fire all day. And it was as good of pulled pork as I've had anywhere.
I'm not in the market, but when I do get in the market, I'm heavily leaning toward pellet.
