I just added one to my outdoor cooking arsenal. Just the two of us so I bought a small Pittboss to try out. Pretty much as everyone else have said.......not as much smoke as a true smoker, not good for searing a steak but great for low & slow cooking. I did smoke a salmon fillet the other day, and it came out great, but it highlighted a weakness in the system in that your fire can go out at the lowest (smoke) setting and a bit of wind. This also made me wish for a feature that mine doesn't have which is a fire box cleanout to dump unburnt pellets that were fed in before the grill figured out the fire was out. I turned my grill into a freakin' blast furnace when I restarted it without cleaning it out first! Operator error. I don't know all the brands that have that bottom clean out feature but it's something I recommend as a "must have". All in all though, everything I've done on it so far has been very good. Will be trying some skinless chicken breasts tomorrow.
