X-Fire Pro 825

A dual-mode wood-pellet grill offering both low-and-slow smoking and open-lid searing up to 1250°F, with 825 sq in of cooking space.

$1,550Approx. MSRP

Skip this one if you're a beginner who wants hassle-free set-and-forget cooking — its dual-fire complexity brings more temperature swings and maintenance than Recteq's simpler models.

Pros

  • Food quality reported as delicious, moist and juicy by owners who push through setup issues
  • Combines multiple cooking styles (direct fire searing plus indirect smoking) in one grill
  • Regular fire pot maintenance resolves most lighting problems
  • Loads of cooking room — 842 sq in feeds a crowd
  • WiFi/app control — watch the cook from your phone

Watch-outs

  • Temperature consistency is weaker than other Recteq models, a problem for a 'do-everything' design
  • Requires more hands-on maintenance (fire pot cleaning) than simpler single-zone grills
  • Some in the owner community consider it an unproven 'wait and see' product
  • Premium price ($1,550)

Known niggles

  • Reported inability to hold steady temperature, with swings as wide as ±50°F during a cook
  • Fire pot ignition failures on one side reported by some owners, occasionally requiring a propane torch to light manually
  • Pellet brand sensitivity — some pellet brands cause more issues on this model specifically
  • Recteq support has told some users the swings are 'normal' despite marketing claiming 'rock-solid' temperature control
