Hey guys, new here-
I'm on the fence about pulling the trigger on a pellet smoker. I know which one I want to get, so that isn't the issue.
My "problem" is that I currently have a Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker that I dont use a TON because I don't like it that much. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing with it, but I seem to have trouble getting things right with it. I love the way ribs turn out on it and I've made a brisket that was pretty good, but I've tried venison roast several times that didnt turn out well at all (used my friend's recipe, and his venison is awesome). I also seem to get a flavor that is almost TOO smoky for my liking, although maybe I'm putting too much wood in?
Anyways, I currently have a gas grill for all my grilling, and its starting to get to the end of its life, so I was thinking about getting a pellet grill to replace it and then also have it for doing my smoking rather than using my MES. I hear nothing but rave reviews of pellet smokers, but I'm a little nervous that its not going to do anything any better than my MES. I'm a little worried that after I buy it, I'm just going to wish I would've saved my money and learned to use my MES a little better.
Help me out guys..
