Offset stick burner vs pellet smoker

The “hardcore” smoker folks will be here to tell you that pellet smokers are garbage.

Not a big difference in final quality at all.

It will look the part if you know what you're doing, but it won't taste the same. Hope this helps.

One is a smoker one is an oven

The hardcore pelletbois will always say things like this. But it is a lie. They know it is a lie

I mean. Sure if that’s what you prefer.

It’s hilarious that one group has to proclaim superiority. Pellet folks never claim to be the best or better. Offset folks do.

There is nothing "vs" about it. They are two different things. I have every type of grill/smoker imaginable. I use my Rectec more than any of them. But it's not a smoker. Even using the Extreme Smoke it's not the same as my stick smokers. It is however a lot more user friendly and easier for long cooks. They all have their place, but if you are wanting legit bbq taste you're not going to get it with a pellet grill. You'll just be shooting for closest to it.

I'm thinking once I deplete all of my smoking wood that I might give pellets a try.

You'll love it for the convene ice but, it's not the same.

I won't get into the "better-best" discussion but will offer they're just "different".

My BiL makes a mean beer can chicken and spare ribs on his pellet burner but, there is a discernable difference in flavor.

(look toof, I didn't say "sawdust smoker"!!!

Indirect heat, thin blue smoke, wood chunks make for more smoke. Fuel sources.

The circulated heat with pellet grills helps with moisture content.

I am thinking about trying out a pellet smoker for the first time. I have 2 Primos i haven’t used since getting a Masterbuilt gravity smoker. I did however burn the shite out of it and did some final damage.

I have another one but I’m thinking about trying out a smoke daddy pellet pro this time. Seems to have some accessories that might help add more wood flavor when needed like that heat deflector above and the cold smoke generator. I like the convection fan and can help but think that might work well when smoking sausage and you are trying to dry up the casing first. Might also get the smoke to linger longer with the reverse smoke stack they use.

Been doing some reading and it seems some think if you smoke at a lower temp on a pellet it helps produce more flavor? No idea if that’s true but I think I may try.

I would have the big sads if I cooked on the new pellet grill for the first time and hated the flavor lol
