I don't know if I'd say that. I think charcoal is the most versatile, though depends on the grill too. IMO, pelllet grills are for smoking and long cooks. I know they can get hotter, but it's not their forte. I was just saying that pretty much any charcoal or gas grill will exceed a pellet grills max heat capability. Charcoal especially where you can add and light as much or as little as you want, getting to 700 or exceeding that is pretty easy if you want to burn enough charcoal.I do not have a pellet grill, have had a burger of of them and it was good, but a burger is good off a charcoal grill or gas grill too. I still fire up the faster to use gas grill for burgers, hot dogs and brats typically. Might occasionally light charcoal for those, but typically use it more for steaks, ribs, chicken, fish. If you just have the kettle style charcoal grill (classic Weber) that's about the extent of it's use. With other types that are more insulated, or the ceramic types (green egg type) - they can also do a good low/slow cook.
