Just curious what you guys think about pellet cookers? Thinking of getting one but wanted some informed opinions on the subject.
Build a UDS and thank me later.My interest in the pellet cookers comes from wanting a little more time to work on side items or not having to babysit a fire. I've got a charcoal and stick burner now and love the food that comes off it. However, I've got three little girls that need attention too so I'm wanting to free up some of the fire tending time. They love to "help" daddy cook but it's getting to be to cold to have a 6 and 3 year old outside with me. I want the efficiency but don't like gas cookers so thought pellets would be the answer. Thanks for everyone's input.

I will agree with bludawg and Adams on the "barrel" concept....very effective cookers that you don't have to baby sit. Also if you want totally set it and forget it you can hook up a automatic controller to a barrel. I can hook up a cheap controller to my mini, jumbo mini or UDS but rarely do because once you get the fire settled it doesn't take much effort.Which of these statements most closely fits. Answer a True or False
1. I enjoy beating my wife
2. I don't enjoy beating my wife
See- some things in the Universe have no correct answer.
I'm going to steal/score a pellet oven and a long extension cord off Craigslist-someday. But I'm not actively looking. About as high tech as I want to be in fire starting is a chimney.
But I do enjoy the discussion. Not just the OP-but everyone I would encourage you to try barrel cooking. It's awesome.
