There are two main differences between grilling and smoking: heat levels and cooking time. Grilling is typically done over higher heat for a relatively short time. Smoking uses very low heat over the course of anywhere from one hour to several weeks.
Why are BBQ smokers so expensive?
But in general, all pellet grills/smokers have a hopper, motorised feed auger, an induction fan, hot rod igniter and electronic control panel. Hence, these are components you won’t find in a gas grill/charcoal grill, therefore the additional cost of these components is the main reason pellet grills are more expensive.
