Going from a WSM to a Smokefire took us a little bit to get used to also.I've had a WSM for some time, but I bought a Broil King pellet grill, just for the convenience.
Pellet grills are great, but just don't give that total smoky experience IMO, that charcoal and or wood chunks can give you.
Stick with the pellet cooker for awhile and once you go back to the WSM ( or similar ) you'll think its overly smoky.
Weird but certain variables like quality of pellets compared to quality of charcoal and smoke wood changes how things taste.
