Z Grills 700D6
With a large under-grill storage cabinet and a hopper that can hold 20 pounds of pellets, Z Grills Pellet Grill Smoker 700D6 can also grill, sear, and roast food.
Reviews include kudos for its fill-and-forget nature, with some noting that they fill the hopper, set the temperature, throw on a brisket, and from there, there's minimal work.
King Chii Electric
The King Chii Electric Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker is affordable and easy to put together. Its pellet hopper is efficient and easy to use and holds the heat well.
Another bonus is that it breaks down for storage and can fit in a car's trunk. Some reviews say it's not as sturdy or durable as a more expensive model, but that's to be expected.
Hello Dr. Portable
The Hello Dr. Portable Wood Pellet Smoker is best for small spaces. Some even use it as an extra component to large gas grills for a best-of-both-world situation.
Those who have used it love the temperature controls, efficiency, and how fast it comes to temp and holds the heat. Despite being small, it can handle 12 hot dogs or eight burgers.
Recteq Deck Boss 590
The Recteq Pellet Grill Deck Boss 590 is pricier than many on our list, but its hopper holds 30 pounds of pellets and its cooking area can cook five pork butts.
The grill connects to an app that makes it easy to control. Customers love the precision of the temperature control, which makes this smoker useful for baking or making jerky, too.
Traeger’s 885 & 780
Both Traeger Grills Ironwood 885 and Traeger Pro 780 are heavy-duty steel grills that work with the same pellet system and hands-off temperature control system.
The Ironwood has a larger cooking area, but both models are praised. Despite the hefty price tags, buyers love that they are easy to use and clean and can be monitored with an app.
