Really looking forward to the easier over night cooks.
I also have a Weber Smokey Mountain with a DigiQ DX draft control system. For less than the price of a pellet smoker you can have the simplicity of set it and forget it. Better flavor, more smoke, cook with charcoal, and you'll use less fuel and be able to cook a lot more.
The pellets are good for ease, and for small cooks like a few racks of ribs, a brisket or a pork shoulder. The firepot is small, though, and it struggles to keep up when you cook multiple pork shoulders. I wouldn't try to cook more than 20 lbs of meat in it. You'll use A LOT of pellets.
The WSM is much, much more efficient, IMO... and with the draft control system, is just as easy.
