Pellet smoker vs Gravity charcoal smoker

If you have both, how do you determine which and when to use...I'm thinking I'll be using the pellet smoker less.

Use the one you enjoy the most. That's all I can say.

I don't have a pellet smoker, because I have a gravity charcoal smoker.

I miss the ease of getting a nice smoke flavor without bitterness that pellets are perfect at, but I like being able to put a lot more smoke flavor in the meat with the gravity, if that makes sense.

I have both, use the gravity 8/10 times. Much better flavor, that’s what it’s all about.

Really need that 800 to be back in stock without the $199 delivery fee.

Yikes. It was not that much when I ordered. Maybe $65-70?
The 800 has been great for me so far. Being able to throw the griddle on in the morning for breakfast has been great.

I may just get the larger one and an aftermarket griddle.

Have you seen anyone making any yet? It can't be that difficult to manufacture so I'm sure they are somewhere.
I did see someone with a mod for the fire chamber to deflect heat up for a griddle.

Camp Chef makes several sizes, but have not taken the time to compare what they have to the Masterbuilt grill size.

LSS makes the shroud for a 1050, I don’t know what they are using for a griddle though. Check the Facebook groups or ask Luke on Facebook. Both him and Nathan, other guy doing mods, answer dm’s quickly.

I get plenty of smoke, that’s the problem, since I got the vent mod I can control it a bit better now though. Pellets are known for their light blue smoke with ease/zero work. With this gravity I can control the smoke far more than I can with the pellet. It’s a pro and a con, I can actually screw it up with too much and get that thick white smoke that can make the meat bitter, but if I don’t screw it up I can also get a lot more good smoke flavor in there that some miss in pellet smokers. Takes a bit more skill with this, but it’s worth it IMO.

Anyone able to find the Masterbuilts in store? I saw an 860 in Covington, but it was the display model and was in not so new condition. I really had no way to pack it at the time anyway.
