Deck Boss 900

recteq's 2026 mid-size wood-pellet grill with 900 sq in of cooking space, an 18 lb hopper, and dual-band Wi-Fi.

$1,000Approx. MSRP

Solid pick for a beginner who wants dependable temperature holding and app control, but plan on refilling the hopper more often on all-day cooks.

Pros

  • PID controller holds set point tightly and is regarded as a big step up from older Recteq tech
  • Owners report great smoke flavor across various foods
  • Strong build quality with WiFi/app control
  • Loads of cooking room — 900 sq in feeds a crowd
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone

Watch-outs

  • Hopper capacity is smaller relative to the cooking area, meaning more frequent refills on long smokes
  • No pellet dump door for quick cleanout between different pellet types
  • Can run hot in extreme summer temperatures without settings tweaks
  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles

  • Smaller hopper than some other large Recteq models, making it less suited to very long unattended cooks
  • No pellet clean-out feature, so switching pellet flavors requires manually running the hopper empty
  • A hot-weather overheating case was reported, resolved via customer service adjusting pellet feed settings
