adequate smoke?

[SmokinHog]

I have not yet purchased a grill yet- still shopping. I have heard good things about Rec Teq, Traeger Ironwood. One thing I am reading on this forum is that for some the Rec Teq does not produce enough smoke for them and they have to use smoke tubes? Just curious- is this "normal" for these grills? I don't want to drop 1k or more on a grill that doesn't produce enough smoke? Also- any concerns with the 590 and the vents in the back? Thanks for any feedback!

I usually get around the "lightness" of the smoke flavor produced by using mesquite pellets from Bear Mountain.

Yeah but then you have mesquite flavor......just kidding, well sort of.
