Wanting a grill with smokey flavour as well as a smoker, I don't think one will do both well.
What would you choose? Pucks kinda expensive however convenient if it worked.. Just saw Cookies Cutter thread and didn't want to hijack it.
Same problem with a pellet grill or smoker? Pellets swell in the auger and jam it during the winter? Do you need to unload the hopper after every use and store them in the house?
My last smoker was just cedar outhouse style and that was what I was planning on going with and I'm sure I could automate it more than the old one, might be just as expensive to build as buying one however it might be better with digital control on the cold smoker as well as the outhouse element. Wish I wouldn't have given away the over racks I had..
Don't know what to do with the grill, all I have at the moment is the little Webber we haul around in the motorhome and I like the sear of charcoal and don't mind waiting for it to light (chimney and map gas torch).
I have been slicing little slabs of cherry and throwing them on and it creates a nice flavour, just need somthing bigger as hopefully eventually our bubbles will get bigger!
