Pellet Grills

This section covers pellet grills and pellet smokers for backyard cooks, from compact tabletop models to large WiFi grills. Our roundups compare grate area, hopper capacity, listed temperature range, and controller features, and each one says who should look elsewhere.

Start with our pick of the best pellet grills if you want one grill for searing and smoking. The pellet smoker roundup focuses on low-and-slow cooking. If you already like one brand, our Traeger lineup comparison walks through each current model. The how-to guides cover setup, cleaning, and specific cooks such as ribs, brisket, and turkey.
