900 Pellet Grill

A barrel-style wood pellet grill/smoker with a 20 lb hopper, WiFi control, and an 884 sq in cooking area.

$999Approx. MSRP

Good for existing Blackstone griddle fans who want to add basic pellet smoking without buying a second brand; skip it if smoking is your primary use case, dedicated pellet grill brands have a longer reliability track record.

Pros

  • Combines pellet-smoker flavor with Blackstone's griddle ecosystem for owners who already like the brand
  • WiFi/Bluetooth app control and a 20 lb hopper for longer unattended cooks
  • Large cooking area suited to smoking and low-and-slow cooking
  • Loads of cooking room — 884 sq in feeds a crowd
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone

Watch-outs

  • Newer product category for Blackstone, less of a proven reliability track record than dedicated pellet grill brands (Traeger, Rec Tec, Camp Chef)
  • Feed/hopper system needs occasional manual intervention per early owner reports
  • Positioned as good but not best-in-class specifically for the pellet/smoking side
  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles

  • Owners and forum users flag general concern about Blackstone rushing new product categories (pellet grills) to market before working out reliability kinks
  • Uncertainty/complaints about long-term durability of the auger, feed system, and firepot versus established pellet grill brands
