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

Set it, close the lid, go and do something else: that is the pellet grill deal. Without WiFi you check the controller in person, which most people do with a drink in hand anyway.

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.

Weeknights or the whole crew?

A family of four, with room for guests on Saturday. 456 sq in fits ribs and a tray of wings at the same time, without being so big that a Tuesday dinner looks lost on it.

The 11 lb hopper is fine for an afternoon cook; keep a bag close for all-nighters.

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: this one has no WiFi
  • 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.

The verdict

We like the KingChii 456 8-in-1 Grill in Brown for a family-size 456 sq in grate and 180°F to 425°F on the dial. No buyer reviews yet, so the KingChii 456 8-in-1 Grill in Brown has to win you over on paper. The catch with the KingChii 456 8-in-1 Grill in Brown: no WiFi, while most of this list has it. We'd pick the KingChii 456 8-in-1 Grill in Brown if you cook for the family most weeks and for friends now and then; otherwise, put it next to the Brisk It Zelos-450 first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the KingChii 456 8-in-1 Grill in Brown and wait for the delivery truck, check whether you will miss WiFi: there is no app here, so long cooks mean walking out to read the controller.

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

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

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.
