If you dream of making slow-smoked meats from home but find the idea of tending to a brisket for 14 hours more stressful than alluring, a pellet smoker might be right for you. Think of it as a smoky outdoor oven that cooks tender and moist brisket without constant babysitting.After testing pellet grills from three prominent brands and smoking well over 100 pounds of beef brisket, pork shoulder, chicken legs, salmon filets, and even cheddar cheese, we think the Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 24 is worth its admittedly high price: It’s the most precise, flexible, and full-featured grill we tried. And most important, it made the best-tasting, smokiest barbecue.
