I hate em. They smoke too hot, only use pellets, and you can't use any real wood in them. I use a good old smoker with a wood firebox on the side. I can smoke all the way down to 140 degrees in summer, and in winter, smoke cheese without getting it over 40 degrees. A friend has pellet smokers, and asked me to smoke some fish on them. I couldn't keep the temp below 245 at the lowest without constantly opening the lid. Ruined some good fish that day. Give me an old fashioned one any day.
Besides, when's the last time you went out to the woods and found pellets?

They usually come from deer, rabbits, or owls. I wouldn't smoke meat with natural pellets.
