Best for: overnight brisket cooks who check from bed
The catch: No stated temperature range, and most models here give one.
Best for: set-it-and-check-your-phone smoking
The catch: Like every pellet grill, it needs power for the fan and the auger.
Also available as: Pro (970 sq in)
Best for: weekend smoking without babysitting a fire
The catch: Grease tray and fire pot need a regular clean, like on any pellet grill.
Best for: cooks who want real wood smoke on the road
The catch: The listing gives no cooking area, unlike most of this list.
Best for: set-and-check smoking with a real sear at the end
The catch: Only 67 buyer reviews so far, so that average can still move.

† Prices as of Sep 30, 2026; they may have changed. The button always shows today's price.
Every grill gets a rating out of 10 from its exact listing: what buyers give it, how many of them there are, and how completely the seller documents the specs. The highest result wins; on an exact tie, the listing identifier decides.
The numbers do most of the work, and our editors make the final call on how the grills stack up against each other. A commission never moves a rating or a rank.
Our pick is the Traeger Pro 780, at 9.3/10 (excellent). It has 389 buyer reviews averaging 4.6/5. Its listing states 780 sq in of cooking area and an 18 lb hopper. Close behind: the Traeger Ironwood 885 at 8.3/10.
We start from 10 pellet grills whose exact listing states WiFi connectivity with a buyer review record. Each one gets a rating out of 10 built on its buyer rating (45 %), its review volume (35 %) and how completely the listing documents its specs (20 %), and our editors make the final call on how the grills compare.
Each price is the one we recorded on Sep 30, 2026, and it may have changed since. Grill prices move with the season and the big sale weekends, so the button always opens the exact listing with today's price and seller.
Not to cook well. WiFi lets you watch the grill and meat temperatures from your phone, and on many models change the set point, which is handy on a 12-hour brisket. It does not replace checking the grill now and then, and it needs a decent signal where the grill stands.
