So that being said, what’s the advantage? People must like them for some reason. Why are they so popular? Thanks.


The big thing is that you get a very even and consistent smoke, and temp control is as easy as setting it where you want it. It is very nice to set your smoker at 225 degrees, or whatever you want, and be able to leave and go do other things and not have to be there to check the grill every 45 minutes.



I have the Pit Boss 1100 Pro from lowes, it's convenient as it gets. It does have hot and colder zones when cooking. The sear feature works ok and I've leaned to work with it after using a Green Egg for years and years. I prefer the Egg for grilling ,ore so but use the Pit Boss most of th time, it does a fine job and is convenient. Just make sure and keep it clean, the only issues I've had is when I didn't clean out the fire pot and it jammed.

Rec Tec and Camp Chef deserves mentioning.
