Tahoma 900

900-sq-in auto-feed charcoal smoker/grill with a 16-lb hopper, dual meat probes, and app-based (non-Wi-Fi) control.

$800Approx. MSRP

Only worth it for a beginner who wants auto-feed convenience and is prepared to troubleshoot a fussy fan and ash system; skip it if you want dependable, set-and-forget temperature control.

Pros

  • When working correctly, several owners report excellent smoke flavor and good temperature holding
  • Large auto-feed hopper reduces how often you have to tend the fire
  • A big step up in convenience over a manual offset for a beginner
  • Loads of cooking room — 900 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • Reliability is inconsistent — some units run great, others fight the operator constantly
  • App/Wi-Fi features are unreliable enough that many owners just stop using them
  • Ash management needs more attention than the marketing implies
  • Heavy (273 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Fan/temperature-control logic reported broken by multiple owners — the fan shuts off at target temp and won't restart even as the temperature drops
  • Ash tray sits close to the coal hopper, so ash builds up on long cooks and can choke out the fire if not cleared regularly
  • Smoke leaks from where the lid meets the body and around the hopper despite gaskets
  • Wi-Fi app frequently fails to connect to or recognize the unit
