The best part of the pellet smoker is the special electronic system that is placed inside a pellet grill that uses advanced algorithms to calculate how many pellets are to be used and at what intervals have to be added to the fire to maintain a fixed temperature. 

The technology used in a PID controller pellet smoker is quite advanced as it takes into account the temperature, number of hours the grill is to be used, the number of times the lid is opened and even the weather to ensure steady temperature.
