I'm considering a Weber Kettle also. Do steaks, chickens, burgers, sausage and ribs taste better on it than on a good pellet grill? I'm also considering the new Weber Searwood Pellet Grill, but it costs several times more. It seems like a heavy solid grill, easy to use and clean, will sear meats, and with WiFi and probes, etc. But if the food won't taste quite as good on it, then it's a no brainer to go with the Weber Kettle. I'm switching from a natural gas grill. Before that I had a cast aluminum charcoal grill. Charcoal was definitely better taste wise compared to gas. I've never had a pellet grill yet, so I am trying to decide if I should try one. My gut feeling is to get the Weber Kettle as I know I can cook great food on one.

See the above post.
Charcoal alone or charcoal and wood combined taste better than pellets alone. The Spider Venom gives you that, and the cooking and ease of use benefits of a pellet grill.

Of course this is my opinion, and we all know about those...
I think charcoal tastes better for grilling than what you can get with the pellet grill, plus the pellet grill always seems to have hot/cold spots due to their design. You can control high heat better and keep it even on the kettle with charcoal, and you can move all the coals to one side for direct/indirect cooking if needed. Like I said, I have both, and I only use my pellet grill for long smoking cooks. They both have their uses and I like having both, but if forced to choose only one, I would probably go with the kettle.
