Hot take incoming: pellet grills have brought more people into BBQ than any other piece of equipment in the last decade. And that's a good thing.
Yeah, you're not babysitting a fire the same way. But you're still dialing in temps, managing moisture, choosing your wood, and learning how different meats behave. That's real BBQ.
The people I've seen get the most out of a pellet smoker treat it like a tool, not a crutch. They use it to nail the basics, then layer in more technique over time.
Where do you land on this? Pellet loyalist? Offset purist? Running both? Tell me your setup and why you love it.
