I used to look down on pellet smokers thinking it was cheating in some way but the older I get I definitely see the appeal of throwing a Boston butt or brisket on there before heading to bed and forgetting about it. It sure looks like you are enjoying yours!
I have a lot of respect for the firebox offset folks. That is quite an art.
Pellets are the way I can make bbq and not devote an entire night of lost sleep or day to fire tending.
It's not that I see them as equal because I do not think they are.
It's about being able to make decent bbq on days that I normally would not be able to if it was a stick burner.
Most of your biggest names in the bbq game all have pellet grills in the arsenal that they cook on.
