Been looking at the pellet smokers for a little while now. If I buy one I'll be going with the Rec Tec 590.

I have an old Charbroil barrel grill. A Dynaglo offset stick burner. I actually do better on on the Charbroil. Been thinking about either a pellet of Kamado type for briskets. I'm not into sitting out there for 13 hours anymore. I have heard the pellet grills don't get the smoke flavor like others. Yankee dude at work brought in a brisket on Friday. Cooked it on his Kamado. Turned out really good.

I will say it! If it aint cooked with wood it aint right.
Those pellets are nothing more than compressed cardboard with flavor added. Then the idea of allowing a outdoor oven to be called a BBQ pit???? Thats just more of that yuppie [censored]!!!
Next thing they will be boiling steaks and saying oh,,, its the only way to cook

I have a green mountain grill pellet smoker and I love it. I bought it because I didn't want to be babysitting a smoker all day. I usually throw on a brisket when the wife gets up to work and go back to sleep and check on it when I wake up. I always see my neighbor going back and forth checking on his offset smoker while I'm watching tv or playing with the dog

Lumberjack pellets are 100% virgin wood from the species on the bag. No fillers.

Ive wondered about this. All the research Ive done shows the pellets are real wood. I have seen the pellet smokers used in BBQ Pitmasters. The other competitors dont like it and take some jabs at the guys using them.

Heat is heat, smoke is smoke. The meat has no way to differentiate if the heat and smoke are from wood or pellets.

Heat is heat, smoke is smoke. The meat has no way to differentiate if the heat and smoke are from wood or pellets. This brings up a question. On a wood fire cooker, you can make the smoke different colors, blue, white, and not much smoke at all. Can you do that on a pellet smoker? The three different colors of smoke play a big role in flavor and bitterness. I have eaten food cooked on a Yoder Pellet Smoker and also off of another one Im not sure what kind, and it did not have the flavor I am used to getting off of a wood fire.

Bet you didn't burp up smoke either, like on a wood fired.

I don't post much but I'm on here every day! This topic caught my attention because I have been going through this. I had an offset stick burner and got pretty good with it . I I got older I got lazy and wanted something easy for just me and my wife. Got a Masterbuilt electric that uses chips. Cooks really good food , but, food does not look like the TV food. Finally got a Masterbuilt Pellet Smoker. Have been using it about 6 months. It cooks some of the best looking food I have ever cooked. Bark, smoke ring, tenderness, PERFECT! My problem is the smoke flavor is barely present. I have changed pellets(Lumberjack) and ran the smoke phase longer, trying about everything I can find on the pellet forums. I just can't get the smoke flavor I want. I think I'm going to try a combo cook with my chip smoker first and finish on the pellets and see what happens. That's my 2cents.
