I carry a Weber charcoal grill and use soaked wood chips when I cook on it.
I also carry a pellet smoker. I love this thing. Excellent temp control. Set it and forget it. And great results.
As someone already said - 2 different animals. You can't beat a dedicated smoker. But these pellet grills can do it all. I have a cooking temp range of 160 - 450 degrees. And it will hold the temp I set almost perfectly all day long while I am off doing something else.
You will not get the deep smoke flavor from a pellet grill, but it's reasonably close. The chicken, ribs, roasts, steaks etc. I cook on it disappear pretty doggone fast !
