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.

It comes along: it is sold as a portable grill. It still needs power for the fan and the auger.

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 tailgate, camp or cook on a balcony

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

The KingChii 456 Smoker & Grill, Foldable Leg earns its place with a family-size 456 sq in grate and 180°F to 425°F on the dial. No buyer reviews yet, so this KingChii portable pellet grill has to win you over on paper. The one thing that bugs us: 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 Z Grills 200A Tabletop first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the KingChii 456 Smoker & Grill, Foldable Leg lands on your porch, 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.
