Regal Pellet 500

A WiFi/Bluetooth-controlled wood pellet grill with a 22 lb hopper, 625 sq in primary cooking area, and a 600F max temperature.

$1,399Approx. MSRP

Good for someone who specifically wants pellet-smoker versatility and is comfortable troubleshooting an electronic controller; a frustrating first grill for someone who just wants to turn a dial and cook.

Pros

  • Strong build quality and smoke flavor praised by most reviewers when the controller works correctly
  • Good capacity for smoking and grilling in one unit
  • Broil King customer support resolved issues quickly for many owners, though not all
  • Loads of cooking room — 865 sq in feeds a crowd
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone

Watch-outs

  • Controller reliability is the single biggest recurring complaint on this line
  • Some owners report inconsistent customer-service outcomes on defective units
  • Pellet grills in general need more electrical/App fuss than a simple gas grill
  • Heavy (250 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Controller can struggle to hold set temperature and has reported random shutoffs on some units
  • Firmware update process has been reported as slow or requiring multiple attempts
  • Some owners report the grill running up to 100°F hotter than the set temperature
  • Occasional auger jams reported
