Pellet grills are easy to run and maintain temp. But there can be hot spots Around the heat diverter if it’s a big piece of meat.
If you’re looking for an easy overnighter I have a master built electric rig that is reliable and easy as hell. It’s not as good as charcoal Q but it’s a damned fine facsimile. And on my end it isn’t worth the extra effort.
If you are a hardcore charcoal dude, thermoworks makes a product called Bellows that automatically controls the bottom vent on a Webber kettle. I have no idea how it works, I don’t know anyone that has one but it’s out there.
