We'll just have to agree to disagree then. Ive had stick and pellet smokers.
When youre using a high quality pellet smoker and good quality pellets, and cooking at the right temp and for the right time, there isnt that much of a difference. Especially not with some of the aftermarket add ons...
Might I suggest you also look at what brand of pellets you are using?
I have the Recteq 1070 and use Lumberjack Oak Pellets. Together they produce a TON of smoke.
More than any other grill/pellet combination I have owned.
I live in the Jacksonville, FL and its like a pellet desert here except for whatever Home Depot or Ace happen to sell, which is Traeger 9 out of 10 times.
So Ive been ordering Lumberjack off Amazon. Its my only source right now.
Either paper wrapped or foil boat in a cooler, or my preference is in my Breville counter top oven for 8-12 hours at 150 degrees wrapped in a foil boat, fat cap up, with added smoked waygu tallow underneath.
