I have had few issues with the smoke flavor or profiles on a pellet grill. As others have noted, many of us have come from stick burner backgrounds, but for me....I am not exactly a young man anymore. I don't want to be constantly tending the fire at all hours of the night.
My time (and sleep) is of more value than an intense smoke flavor. I have yet to have anyone try my brisket, butt or anything else I may smoke and say there wasn't enough smoke on it. I've said it before, but a pellet grill is a jack of all trades device, not a master of any of them. Can it grill? Yes. Can it smoke meat? Yes. Is it the best at either of those. Not by a long shot.
It's a trade off between convenience, time and flavor. Greg said it best....80% of the results, 20% of the effort.
As to sites not posting negative reviews....WHY would they do that? Their websites are their point of sales and advertising device. Most of what is on there is going to be advertising how great their equipment is, providing information on their products, and a way to purchase those items.
You don't see McDonalds, Auto Makers, Clothing stores etc. Saying Hey! Check out our stuff and note how many people think it sucks.
