What it has going for it

WiFi app

Check the pit and the meat from the couch, and on most apps nudge the temperature too. Gold on a 12-hour brisket that starts at 5 a.m.

PID controller

A PID controller feeds pellets in small, constant corrections, so the temperature swings less when the wind picks up or you open the lid.

Easy cleanout

A cleanout door or ash system turns the dirtiest job of pellet grilling into a two-minute one, and swapping wood flavours gets easy.

What changes on cook day

WiFi changes the rhythm of a long cook. You watch the pit temperature from the couch instead of walking out every half hour.

After the cook, the cleanout system makes the ash and pellet swap a two-minute job.

Best for you if

  • You start cooks at dawn and want to watch them from bed
  • You want the temperature to hold steady on long cooks

Skip it if

  • You want a stated cooking area and temperature range: this listing gives neither
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

Setup and what you get

Assembly day. Plan an hour or two with a second pair of hands. Most manuals ask for a first burn-in before the first cook.

Its spot. Level ground, a few feet from the wall and anything that can melt, an outlet in reach. A cover keeps the pellets and the controller dry between cooks.

Cook day. Per the listing, you can set the temperature and watch it from your phone and empty the ash without a shop vac.

The verdict

We like the Camp Chef DLX (Gen 3 WiFi) for app control over WiFi and PID temperature control. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 6.7/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. Honestly, the catch: no stated cooking area, while most grills here give one. We'd pick it if you start cooks at dawn and want to watch them from bed; otherwise, put it next to the KingChii 456 8-in-1 Grill in Brown first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the Camp Chef DLX (Gen 3 WiFi) lands on your porch, check the temperature range: the listing gives no range, so ask the seller how low and how hot it goes.

Before you buy

How much you really cook

No cooking area is stated. Ask the seller for the main grate size, then lay out your usual cook in our grate area planner.

Power at the spot

It plugs into a regular outdoor outlet for the igniter, the fan and the auger. A grounded outlet close by beats a long extension cord.

Pellets and long cooks

No hopper size is stated. Keep a bag of pellets next to the grill for long cooks and check the level now and then.

Cleaning

The listing mentions an easy cleanout. Still plan to vacuum the fire pot every few cooks and change the grease bucket liner.

How it compares

How the Camp Chef DLX (Gen 3 WiFi) stacks up against the closest alternative, the KingChii 456 8-in-1 Grill in Brown.
