re: Pellet Grill or Big Green Egg?

My complaint with the egg style smokers is the cooking real estate. You have to get a massive green egg to match the real estate of a pellet grill. And most foods you want to smoke are not friendly for a round cook top. You can fit 4 racks of ribs easily on a small pellet smoker. You'll have to cut ribs down to fit the same on the comparably sized egg

yes size limitations are their drawback. since it doesn't fit like a regular rectangular box does, it limits spacing.

You can buy or make an accessory that will hold four racks on a large egg. I Made one that works perfectly.

Egg and ceramics are much better imo solely because of the ability to grill, sear, smoke and bake all in one. It really depends on what you want to achieve.

Pellet grills also are very user friendly. It’s impossible to screw up a cook. If you want to hone in an actual skill I would recommend the ceramic without a smokeboss. It’s been very rewarding trying to master all the different ways I can cook on the egg. You do however have to put in some practice with the egg to become efficient with it.

I know some people have families and just want a solid cook without a lot of work, if that’s you then a pellet grill is the better choice more than likely.
