Cooking space, per the listing

Fed by an 11 lb hopper. Listings usually count the upper rack too, so measure your biggest cook against the main grate.

What it has going for it

456 sq in

The sweet spot for most backyards: a weeknight dinner for four, or a Saturday brisket with room for a few sausages next to it.

180–425°F

From 180°F for low-and-slow smoking to 425°F for roasting: the range most backyard cooks actually use.

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.

What changes on cook day

You set a temperature, the controller feeds the pellets, and you get your afternoon back. No app here, so you will walk out now and then to read the controller.

Low-and-slow is its home turf. With 425°F at the top, a hard sear on a steak is not what it is built for.

The probe in the box tells you when the meat is done, so the lid stays shut and the smoke stays in.

Backyard or road trip?

Road trip, mostly. 456 sq in is more than most portables give you.

Plan for power: an outlet at the campsite or a power station that can run the fan and the auger all afternoon. At home it doubles as the balcony grill for small households.

Best for you if

  • You cook for the family most weeks and for friends now and then
  • You want the temperature to hold steady on long cooks
  • You would rather read the meat than poke it and guess

Skip it if

  • You want to watch the cook from your phone: there is no WiFi here
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

Setup and what you get

Assembly day. Light assembly at most: unfold, plug in, fill the hopper. Do the first burn-in at home before the trip.

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.

The verdict

Our favourite thing about the KingChii 456 Grill, Foldable Legs is 456 sq in of cooking space, closely followed by a stated 180–425°F range. No buyer reviews yet, so the KingChii 456 Grill, Foldable Legs has to win you over on paper. The catch with this KingChii portable pellet grill: no word on the weight or the warranty. We'd pick the KingChii if you cook for the family most weeks and for friends now and then; otherwise, put it next to the KingChii 456 Smoker & Grill, Foldable Leg first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the KingChii 456 Grill, Foldable Legs goes in your basket, check the power you will have: it needs an outlet or a power station for the fan and the auger, so check what the campsite offers.

Before you buy

How much you really cook

456 sq in is stated, often the main grate and the upper rack added together. Measure your biggest cook (two briskets? six racks of ribs?) and lay it out in our grate area planner.

Power at the spot

Ask the campsite about hook-ups, or check the watt-hours of your power station against a full cook.

Pellets and long cooks

The hopper holds 11 lb. How long that lasts depends on the temperature and the weather, so keep a bag next to the grill for long low-and-slow cooks.

Cleaning

Plan to vacuum the ash out of the fire pot every few cooks, and keep the grease tray clean: that is where most flare-ups start.
