I haven't used my traditional smokers since I got my pellet grill, although I did use an electric smoker, if smoker is what you want to call it for some "wrapped" ribs when I was trying to get 36 full racks of ribs done at pretty much the same time for a memorial day BBQ. The pellet grill has great temperature control without having to tend it, you never have to worry about cutting the air down to much when trying to lower the temp, and getting the nasty taste that come about because of that, and it's easier to control for either a light, or heavier smoke flavor. You do have to do a little experimenting to find the right pellets, as some are "flavored" rather than obtaining their flavor profile naturally. Other than the traditional pulled pork cuts, ribs, briskets etc. I do several prime ribs a year on the pellet grill, use it at a higher temp for thanksgiving turkey, and in the summer find pizza comes out great when you use it as just a wood fired oven. They tend to be quite flexible.
