I have both a Rec-Tec pellet smoker and a Brinkmann charcoal smoked. Both are great for what they are the pellet smoked is ideal for a long cook, 4 plus hours or so. Set the temp and forget it. Accurate every time with great taste. The charcoal smoker, IMHO, offers the better tasting food, but does require more tending and caring.
The pellet smoker is fill the hopper with pellets, set the temp, come back when it's time and eat. The charcoal is monitor the temp, add the soaked wood and add charcoal as needed.
Two different animals. Two different tastes.
