Top temperature, per the listing

The listing gives 150°F to 550°F on the controller. How well it holds that in wind and cold is something no listing can tell you.

Why it made our list

150–550°F

It goes down to 150°F, low enough for jerky and cold-ish smoked cheese, and up to 550°F for chicken with crisp skin.

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.

Built to travel

Sold as a portable grill, so the smoked ribs can come camping with you. It still needs power for the fan and the auger, and this one mentions a 12V option.

What changes on cook day

The big change is the leash: with the WiFi app you start the brisket at dawn, go back to bed and check the pit from your phone.

It comes along: it is sold as a portable grill, and the listing mentions a 12V option for the road. It still needs power for the fan and the auger.

Backyard or road trip?

Road trip, mostly. It is sized to travel.

The listing mentions a 12V option, handy at the campsite. At home it doubles as the balcony grill for small households.

Best for you if

  • You want one grill for low-and-slow and hot grilling: 550°F is the stated top end
  • You start cooks at dawn and want to watch them from bed
  • You tailgate, camp or cook on a balcony
  • You trust a long track record: 338 buyer reviews

Skip it if

  • You want a stated cooking area: this listing gives none
  • Star ratings come first for you: 4.3/5 is below the 4.5 average of this ranking
  • You simply want our top pick: that's the Traeger Pro 780 (9.3/10)

What Green Mountain Grills promises

These points come from the seller's own listing, so read them as the brand's claims.

  • 150-550°F in 5° increments
  • WiFi phone control
  • Runs on 12V or 120V

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.

What buyers say

Buyers give it 4.3/5, a solid record, slightly below this ranking's 4.5 average. And with 338 reviews behind it, that number is hard to argue with.

Better fit elsewhere?

The verdict

Our favourite thing about the Green Mountain Trek Prime is a stated 150–550°F range, closely followed by WiFi control from your phone. With 338 buyer reviews behind it, you are not taking a leap in the dark. Honestly, the catch: their 4.3/5 average sits under the 4.5 of this ranking. We'd pick it if you want one grill for low-and-slow and hot grilling; otherwise, put it next to the Traeger Woodridge first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Green Mountain Trek Prime and wait for the delivery truck, check the power you will have: it mentions 12V, so check the cable or adapter you need for your car or power station.

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

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

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

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.

How we rated it

Our rating: 7.9/10

Our rating is a score out of 10. It weighs what buyers say, the specs the listing states and our editors' read of how it compares with its rivals. It is separate from the buyer star rating.

  • Buyer rating (45%): the average buyer rating on the listing, damped when there are fewer than 50 reviews.
  • Review volume (35%): more reviews mean more reliable evidence, on a logarithmic scale up to 5,000 reviews.
  • Documented specifications (20%): how completely the exact listing documents the attributes that matter.
