Pellets depend on the temp you are trying to maintain and outside temps.

You can certainly do a brisket or pork butt on a bag of pellets. I never tried to do one with a gas grill.
They have pros and cons but after I got a pellet grill, I stopped using my big Weber summit. Probably fit my style of cooking a bit better with low and slow vs cooking on a hot fire all the time. I also like the flavors of wood cooking better.
If you're thinking pellet grills, look into the rectec's. Their computer algorithms seem to have much better temperature control than traegers and their customer service is top notch.

Grills: Pellet vs Gas What do you have? -- hoosnowahokie 09/12/2019 1:55PM

Charcoal, white gas, and propane. Prefer Charcoal though. ** -- FrederickHokie 09/12/2019 10:11PM

Both: Traeger pellet grill and a propane grill. Pellet grill for smoking -- BayHokie 09/12/2019 5:34PM

Charcoal is the only way to deliver the flavor! Gas is convenient but..... -- Rodman6565 09/12/2019 3:35PM

Have a gas Weber we got in 2008 or so -- typed by ben 09/12/2019 2:43PM

Don’t know if you’ve thought about a Big Green Egg, but they’re great. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 09/12/2019 2:25PM

Curious why exactly is a BGE so much superior to, say, a Weber kettle grill -- Tafkam Hokie 09/12/2019 2:43PM

If fuel efficiency is where BGE hangs it's hat, I'd argue -- King Jaffe Joffer 09/12/2019 3:57PM

It's not just economy we are talking about. -- No Clue 09/12/2019 4:38PM

Fuel efficiency is really good with ceramic cookers -- No Clue 09/12/2019 3:51PM

It apparently holds heat REALLY well, and much more fuel efficient... -- JoesterVT 09/12/2019 2:47PM

Might be psychological, but food does seem to taste better in a BGE. -- RoswellGAHokie 09/12/2019 2:53PM

Fear of propane seems very hoo-ish. You sure you're now a Hokie? ** -- King Jaffe Joffer 09/12/2019 2:03PM

My fear of propane is that I might mistake the grill for a stove -- jmanatVT 09/12/2019 2:59PM
