Cook on real wood. Everything else is just a poor imitation.
My favorite wood to cook on is mulberry X2 Never seen a restaurant advertising bbq, anywhere not just kc style, that uses pellets. You wont see them in a competition either. might see somebody who prefers mesquite, or hickory or apple but never pellets

To me Pellet smokers/grills are too much like an easy bake oven from the 80s. I personally use propane for grilling and cooking whole hogs. I have added a 3” angle iron about 4” over my burner so I can put wood chunks on and still get the smoke without having to babysit a cooker all day.

You can do a pretty good job with charcoal and wood chunks, The Weber Smoky mountains have won a bunch of competitions, All wood is the holy grail, but you have to tend it more closely. You can screw up with any of them though, lol That Weber is on my radar....is there an all wood smoker on the market ?

Built my own smoker and pipe smoke/heat in with an old small wood stove. I use wood only. Apple, cherry, pear and preferably plum when I can get it.

I'm not sure how many carcinogens you ingest from cooking with charcoal - but my guess is the Tri-Tip, Rib Eye or Brisket will kill me first Read the diet thread. Meat isnt going to hurt you. It will improve your health though.

Be a real man and cook real meat on real wood. At least use lump charcoal made from real wood with nothing added.
Cheap charcoal actually contains coal dust / chips.
