The Weber SmokeFire puts out more smoke than any other pellet grill I've had by a long shot...and I've had 10. It still produces noticeable smoke at 300 plus where most pellet grills start becoming very hard to notice any smoke profile from. I've cooked a couple frozen pizzas at 450 (with hickory pellets) that have had too much smoke for my taste. I had a SmokinTex for a couple years (very similar to Cookshack electric smokers). It worked well for butt, brisket, etc. However, if you put more than a couple pieces of wood or had wind that impeded airflow instead of helped it, could get very creosote like very easily. Also, forget poultry on them, really hard to cook hot enough to not overdo smoke and avoid rubbery skin. Maybe Cookshack gets hotter than SmokinTex though to help some with poultry.
