How are they for grilling? From what I see, a lot of the hardcore bbq guys don't care for using smokers because they don't get hot enough to get a good sear.

The Pit Boss does have a sliding cover that allows you to apply direct heat for searing, but I'm wondering how well it works, and what the pellet consumption looks like.

That's really the only thing that seems questionable, and why I like the Camp Chef setup with the propane-powered Sidekick.

Also, any idea on how it does for cold smoking? I'd like to try my hand at smoking fish and cheese, and based on what I'm seeing, a lot of smokers, even pellet smokers, aren't capable of doing those sorts of low temperatures.
