One of my co workers has one and it makes amazing food. Its a little more traditional so you have to kind of baby sit it adding chips when needed, about every 45 minutes. I have a pitboss vertical and another co worker has a traeger. All have there pros and cons. Pellet grills can be set it and forget it, smoking something is usually several hour or more, so I like that I can load it up and leave. I have a wifi controller so I can monitor it from my phone. Pellet grills require regular maintenance to keep them working properly and not as much smoke flavor as a traditional smoker but you can get different favored pellets that give better flavor.
