I was going to do one of those graph thingys, but the dog ate my crayons!!! Anyway thanks for the responses. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing.

I had a Camp Chef Smoke Vault and I made some pretty good food in it. I went to a pellet smoker mostly for convenience, I don't like to 'tend the fire' all night. I noticed I have less smoke flavor with the pellet smoker so I guess that's the trade off. As for temp swings, pellets smokers are pretty darn steady compared to the smoke vault...no water pan going empty, no wood chunks burning out, and no big swings between night and day. Go to a pellet smoker and be able to sleep at night!

Thanks for the comparison. Even though the Smoke Vault is a quality product it still requires a little "babysitting" to maintain the wood and water and keep an eye on the temps.
