Thinking about getting a pellet grill

I use mine all the time for when I want to smoke a piece of meat and then sear it to finish it off (tri tip, corned beef, pork chop, etc). I tend to like steaks off charcoal or a cast iron better. I feel you get a better sear.
 
I have the camp chef woodwind, I would say its in the budget side of things, side burner, large pellet hopper. Had for about 4 years now and only thing gone bad was one temp probe, pretty simple cheap fix and pretty sure was my own fault from flame up had smoking some ducks. Besides that i love the smoke it gives off and the adjustability to smoke or grill.
 
IMO don't do it...you will spend more money on pellets than the grill costs in a very short time. Gas grill and electric smoker for me.

I buy pellets that are $10/bag for like 30-40lbs at Rural King. That gets me like 3+ hours of cooking.
