I don't see why not. I've used my smoker for both for years. Smokers don't get as hot as grills, so don't tend to result in grease burning when smoking meats. As a result there really isn't any issue with transferring flavors between them and chiles. Of course some pellet smokers (like Traegers) can burn hot enough to grill meats, so I guess it depends on the smoker you get and what you use it for...
