I’m looking into a cold smoke box that’ll do pellets or chips with propane. Totally reasonable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted December 31, 2019 A Yoder ys640 pellet smoker has been on my radar for about 8 years now. Im just waiting for my Teton pellet smoker to go out. But when it does go out im going to give this gravity fed charcoal a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaffer62 Report post Posted December 31, 2019 I have been working with a pit barrel cooker with phenomenal results. Pretty affordable too. Its charcoal and you add what ever wood chunks you want for flavor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

savagman Report post Posted January 1, 2020 The taste difference - pellets vs wood, has more to do with the intensity of the smoke flavor. I find pellet grills to be on the light side no matter the wood or smoke times. A quick Google search will reveal many agree with me. They sell an add on smoke generator. I believe it can be used with your pellet grill for added smoke or even cold smoking. Love my Cabelas pellet grill. Look forward to picking up the add on smoke generator to obtain the smokier flavor I prefer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
