I grill pizzas right on my regular grill.

Seems like you've got a shit ton of things with which to play with and cook! I envy the time you have available for all that!

How much you figure those backyard pizza’s actually cost by the time you factor in equipment costs, volume, etc?

The oven seems like it can last forever, so the return on investment is limitless! I would also calculate the benefit of being able to stay home in great weather on my deck and enjoy easy to make wood fired pizzas and make them endlessly. This one is much cheaper than those giant brick/stone type things. It's also portable for picnics and camping. Not bad for $300.

That is awesome!

Sounds like all the excuses I made when buying my expensive Weber gas grill........that now sits unused next to my $99 Original Weber kettle.....and bag of hardwood lump charcoal.

Pretty much just gas grill and charcoal BBQ before these new options. I can in fact bake a pizza on my grill but it uses alot of propane and a pain in the ass to maintain temp... And not wood fired!

So you don't BBQ at all now? Too much work?

The electric smoker is going to be ridiculously easy. I can just turn it on, set the temp, load the wood chips into the chamber and forget about it for 6+ hrs and then just check the remote meat thermometer to see if it's done.

Everyone loves pizza, myself included. Can you make a pizza on a grill? Or is that thing worth the money because it makes the best pizza ever? Also, how often do you use it?

I like pizza alot, so I imagine it could be used each week at my place.

You can bake a pizza on a grill but you need a pizza stone and a large enough grill to allow indirect heat and not crack the stone, as well as one that gets hot enough.

This thing I just got can get to 900 degrees though and bake a pizza in a couple minutes like you see with the traditional sicilian style. So nothing else is really gonna do that.

Oh okay, that sounds cool. Enjoy! I’m sure you’ll be the hit of the neighbourhood when summer BBQ season gets underway!

I'm a big fan of the Pellet Smokers. I own a Traeger and through thorough analysis, there are certain things the pellet smoker is better at than the electric. For example, Ribs, wings, grilling steak/chicken. Basically, anything you want a nice crust on. My dad has an Electric (Bradley) and he's done a Whole Turkey, sausages, Pork Butt and I've loved all of those. His ribs and wings are good but don't hold a candle to the Traeger.

All in all you have a great setup and can do some serious smoking on the grill you mentioned so there is probably no need for a new toy. But if you're looking to replace the Electric I'd go with a Pellet, ease of use is about the same but the flavor/texture is a lot better, IMHO.
