Why do some reviewers say pellet grills don't produce enough smoke flavor?

It's a real and recurring complaint. Across r/smoking and r/pelletgrills, owners note that pellet grills produce lighter smoke than offset stick burners, especially above 225°F. Features like Traeger's Super Smoke mode help at low temps, and many owners supplement with a smoke tube. If heavy smoke flavor is non-negotiable, a pellet grill may not be the right primary smoker.
