Yes, one of the main reasons for the appeal of pellet grills is their ease of use. With a hopper loaded with pellets its simply a case of turning on the control panel and setting a desired temperature.

There are also certain models that offer WiFi connectivity which means via an App you can remotely monitor and adjust the temperature inside the pellet grill as your food cooks.

With a meat probe plugged into the control panel and the food, you can monitor the internal temperature of the food as it cooks. This is especially useful if you are cooking a large piece of meat such as a brisket, over many hours, potentially overnight, as you can set alerts/notifications.

So what a pellet grill/smoker can provide you with is an easy/time-saving way to cook your food outside with additional smoke flavor from the hardwood pellets, with many different flavors available to try.
