Patio Legend 400

A compact wood-pellet grill with 410 sq in of cooking space, a 15 lb hopper, and Wi-Fi-enabled PID control from 180-700°F.

$800Approx. MSRP

Good beginner-friendly compact smoker-grill for casual backyard cooking, but budget for more frequent grease/pellet refills than the spec sheet suggests.

Pros

  • Owners report strong build quality and consistent cooking results
  • Holds temperature steadily through long cooks
  • Compact size suits smaller yards/patios
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone
  • Built to last (stainless steel)

Watch-outs

  • Small grease bucket needs frequent emptying
  • Real pellet hopper runtime is shorter than advertised
  • Some units need feed-rate adjustment to tame excess smoke
  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles

  • Some units don't reach the very top of their advertised temperature range (e.g. topping out around 419°F when set to 500°F)
  • Excessive/billowing smoke reported by some owners, occasionally strong enough to concern neighbors
  • Hopper is rated for about 15 hours of pellets but real-world runtime is often closer to 8-10 hours
  • Grease bucket is small and can overflow during fatty cooks
