I was brought up on a barrel wood smoker. Still have it & use it, occasionally. I already have a tray for smoking chips when needed from a gas grill i used to have. Just bringing up the point that for what you pay and see advertised, I'm a bit disappointed in smoke the pellets produce.I won't argue with that. I think a lot of folks(including myself) are always looking to bridge that gap between offset/charcoal grill smoke flavor and the convience of a pellet smoker.
People's tolerance/desire for smoke flavor varies from person to person. Some are good with just the pellet smoke itself. I wasn't when I got my pellet grill(RecTeq Bull). I noticed right away a difference between the pellet grill and my cabinet smoker which was propane but I used wood chunks and chips for the smoke. So thus me going down the road of more smoke flavor like pretty much the point of this thread. There is so many threads like this not only on this forum but others. People who don't have a smoker before getting a pellet grill might be perfectly fine with the pellet smoke which is no doubt lighter.
For those who have the money, the heavy D or one of smokedaddy's cold smokers are great and work great! Obviously if there wasn't a market for them, then they won't exist.
But with those with your opinion(and seen this opinion many a times) that I already spent enough on the pellet grill/smoker, then I would suggest a smoke tube if you want to not spend much(can find a smoke tube for around $10 on amazon) but just make sure to alternate pellets and wood chips in the tube.
Pellet grills can get real expensive! One of the reason I got the RecTeq is because I felt through my research and my opinion has not changed 3 plus years later is because the value for what you get and the customer service and warranty.
