We really enjoy our BGE but when smoking something overnight, we find that the wood chips are gone pretty quickly and must be replenished and that means taking the meat off the grill, and taking the plate setter out just to add more chips. No problem with that with the pellet smoker. We set temperature, fill the hopper with pellets, and go to bed. Next morning, the pellet grill is still going strong. And our Davey Crockett works on DC power so we tapped into the DC light fixture near the pin box and I stakked a DC plug. Very convenient when dry camping. We do like our BGE and it does cook flavorful tasty food.
