Hi everyone, happy cooking!
My Napoleon is about 12 years old and I'm thinking about making the switch to a smoker. In the interim, I bought an a-maz-n smoke tube, and some lumberjack pellets and will try my first smoke in my Napoleon to see if it's something I like.
I'm already assuming I will like it and looking at options. I've read great things about some of the pellet smokers like Grilla and Rec Tec but some say that they don't produce the smokiness of something like a Weber Smokey Mountain. However the trade off is that you need to baby sit.
Now I'm reading that the workaround for the WSM is a temp controller such as a Flame Boss. I took a look at their site and I understand that these units will maintain the temps, but I dont' understand how it actually does this, and why most people would not just opt for a WSM\temp controller combo vs a pellet grill. Sounds like a win win to me. Appreciate if anyone can provide some details. Thanks!
