Pellet smoker vs Gravity charcoal smoker

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

After about an hour, I drop in a smoke tube full of pellets.

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.
