Best Pellet Grills for 2023
Love the smoky taste and wafting aroma of low-and-slow BBQ? A pellet smoker or grill might be for you: they’re easy to control, maintain stable temperatures, leave behind less ash than charcoal, and guarantee great wood flavor through a variety of flavored pellets.
Be sure to side with the Pellet Grill that fits your needs — made that much easier by our industry experts’ know-how and extensive reviewing processes to find the absolute best pellet machines on the market based on their quality, performance, and features.
- Quality - When judging pellet grills, our experts look for thicker insulation and materials that hold temperatures steady, tight seals and sturdy construction, and heat retention in the smoking chamber. Given the multitude of small working parts, strong warranties and a customer support culture are must-haves. Stainless steel is a perk, but not a dealbreaker.
- Performance - We expect easy, flawless ignition that provides stable temperatures without sharp spikes or dips. Great smoke production should be a given, as these machines convert that into superior flavor. Consistent results, repeatably robust flavor, and ease of cooking set the baseline for our best pellet grills and smokers.
- Features - We think it’s hard to improve on excellent, but we look for machines that try. For example, direct searing or direct flame grilling technology draws our attention. Other applauded features include Wi-Fi technology, smart controllers that cook for you, and companion smartphone apps to monitor the cook.
