Hi... I just joined the pellet smoker/grill world with a Pit Boss 850. Do I still need my Weber Kettle? Or, will my 850 meet my needs for basic grilling of burgers, brats, etc...? Thanks!

Welcome from Texas to the group !!
I’d keep it
I have four that includes my 820. I’m quite sure everyone else in here will tell you to keep it. Ya can never have enough grills/smokers in my book

Welcome from Rhode Island. I'd keep it, I have a Weber 22" kettle grill I use often too.

Welcome from No.Ala. I'd keep it. I have a charcoal and a new Weber Gas (gasp) grill.

I wouldn’t. I gave mine to a neighbor when I moved and ended up building a smoker out of an air compressor tank just so I always have one that works. Electric can fail but a wood smoker always works.
