Great foreasy to learnlow-and-slow smokingset-and-forget cooksgadget lovers

Good for a beginner cooking for a small household in a small outdoor space who mostly wants low-and-slow smoking, not for anyone who grills big high-heat meals for a crowd.

Pros

  • Small footprint fits tight patios, porches or balconies
  • Holds set temperature within about 5 degrees
  • Reaches 400°F in around 10 minutes
  • Sturdy stainless firepot, drip pan, and cast iron heat deflector
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone

Watch-outs

  • Not great for high-heat searing/grilling — pellet consumption spikes
  • Smaller cooking capacity (about 400 sq in) limits big cook-outs
  • Fewer accessories/features than larger Recteq models
  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles

  • Uses a lot of pellets and struggles to hold higher grilling temperatures efficiently
  • Compact size means less headroom for large cuts like a full brisket
