"Heating pellets are made from a combination of softwoods, charcoal and other fillers that can give your food a chemical taste. Even high-quality heating pellets can include leaves and bark, which taste bad and can lead to health risks if ingested. Many shoppers are tempted to purchase heating pellets for cooking because they are often cheaper than food-grade pellets. Resist that urge and buy cooking pellets so you have a safer product and better-tasting food."
you also will not get a sear on smoker that does not have a searing function. your best bet is to bring it inside and sear it on the stove after you're done smoking or get one of the pitboss pellet grills that have the slidable searing function that exposes it directly to the open fire pot which works fantastically.

Skeptical how much smoke you could get from a small one like this. Super small chamber, so not a lot of airspace for smoke in there too. Plus you'd be right on top of the heat source and no way to raise it. And just limited in size in general. And small hopper so have to watch it a lot.
pellets used for fuel for heating are NOT the same as pellets used for cooking/smoking.

You guys are Smoking ! Thanks and Reps All….. I don't know if it's the Great Prices or Priceless Wisdom I get here at Slick Deals? Long Live Slickdeals and the Great Guys willing to help a brother out.
Would something like this be worth it if I was using it mostly to just cook burgers and brats? I have a charcoal grill that I like using and enjoy the taste but don't bust out often enough because it takes so long. I'm looking for something with the convenience of a gas grill but better flavor and wondering if this could work.

Back to what I was saying. A charcoal chimney only takes 10 minutes or so to get the charcoal ready and then another two minutes to get the grate hot enough to clean it. Plus clean up is simple, just empty out the ashes. In a gas grill you really have to clean it out once and a while. It did take longer then gas but if you start ahead of time it's better then gas. You just have to shift your start time to include getting the charcoal ready. I can make two steaks and mashed potatoes and a veggie in less then 30 minutes when cooking on the stove. Last night's dinner only took me just over 50 minutes including getting the charcoal ready.
another option could be is if you're looking to just cook burgers and hot dogs just use the stove and get a large cast iron pan. or a griddle. I've made burgers on the bbq and prefer cooking them on a griddle. I make smashburgers and everyone prefers that compared to BBQd burgers. you can add grilled onions to the griddle and add fried mustard to the griddle and smash the burgers into the fried mustard. yes it doesn't have that BBQ flavor but this method tastes so much better. problem is the clean up of all the grease where as a BBQ only has ashes to clean up. which is why I use the bbq a lot to cook because clean up is so much easier.
edit: I just realized I don't think this would work for you if you're worried about time. this will take a while to get up to temp to make burgers and brats possibly even longer then a bbq using a charcoal chimney. since you already have a charcoal bbq just use that or get a smaller one and use less charcoal. or try and make smash burgers.
