Great foreasy to learnlow-and-slow smokingfeeding a crowdset-and-forget cooksgadget lovers

Fine for a family wanting a big pellet grill mainly operated at the unit itself, but don't buy it expecting solid app-based remote control.

Pros

  • Large 840 sq in cooking space
  • Sizeable 21 lb hopper for long cooks
  • 5-year warranty
  • Flame broiler lever for direct searing
  • Loads of cooking room — 840 sq in feeds a crowd

Watch-outs

  • App-based remote control is limited and unreliable
  • Temperature overshoot reported by some owners
  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles

  • Temperature can run up to 50°F above set point with noticeable swings, per some owners
  • Some reports of a bad igniter out of the box, though easily replaced under warranty
  • App disconnects and reverts the grill to smoke mode if your phone gets more than about five feet away
  • No way to remotely start the grill through the app — you have to walk out and push the start button
