Con: You can't use them everywhere.

Pellet grills, on the other hand, generally need an outlet to function, so they're not portable. Moving them a lot may cause damage to electrical parts, and they tend to be heavy. It's also worth noting that, because they use electricity, they're not meant for wet-weather use.

There's also the matter of Wi-Fi compatibility with phone apps and other smart devices for mobile grill control, which Traeger features and Pit Boss doesn't.

Is cooking on a pellet grill healthy? ›

While cooking with wood pellets may be a healthier way to cook instead of using charcoal, it does pose some health risk related to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH).

What should I smoke first on my pellet grill? ›

In my honest opinion, the good 'ol Pork Butt is the best piece of meat to use for your first big smoke. It's probably the most forgiving, yet incredibly tasty cut there is. No, it's not from THAT part of the pig. Pork Butt is another name for the upper part of the front shoulder.

What is the best smoke flavor on a Traeger? ›

We strongly recommend using Traeger pellets. The type of wood you use will have a significant impact on the flavor of your food. Hickory and mesquite provide stronger smoke flavor while cherry and apple will be more subtle.
