Rated 7.1/10, #5 of 5 in our Small Pellet Grills ranking. Made for set-it-and-check-your-phone smoking.
The recteq Patio Legend 600 next to the two pellet grills rated closest to it.
Listings usually count the upper rack too, so measure your biggest cook against the main grate.
The sweet spot for most backyards: a weeknight dinner for four, or a Saturday brisket with room for a few sausages next to it.
Low and slow at 180°F for brisket, and up to 700°F when you want to grill hot and fast.
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.
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.
A family of four, with room for guests on Saturday. 600 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 listing gives no hopper size, so keep a bag of pellets next to it for long cooks.
These points come from the seller's own listing, so read them as the brand's claims.
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.

Feeding more people? The Pit Boss Navigator 6-Series Vertical lists 2,224 sq in of cooking space (9.2/10).
Steak night matters more than brisket? The Pit Boss 500 FB2 adds a direct-flame sear (7.9/10).
Need one for the campsite? The Traeger Ranger is built to travel (9.3/10).
Our favourite thing about the recteq Patio Legend 600 is 600 sq in of cooking space, closely followed by a stated 180–700°F range. No buyer reviews yet, so the recteq Patio Legend 600 has to win you over on paper. The catch with this recteq pellet grill: no word on the warranty. We'd pick the recteq if you cook for the family most weeks and for friends now and then; otherwise, put it next to the Pit Boss 500 Carbon Series first.
Before the recteq Patio Legend 600 lands on your porch, check the outlet near the spot: it needs a grounded outdoor outlet within cord reach, and a long extension cord is a poor substitute.
600 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.
Look for a grounded, outdoor-rated outlet; if you need an extension, use a short heavy-gauge outdoor one.
No hopper size is stated. Keep a bag of pellets next to the grill for long cooks and check the level now and then.
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 the recteq Patio Legend 600 stacks up against the closest alternative in our ranking, the Pit Boss 500 Carbon Series.

Both score 7.1/10. The Pit Boss 500 Carbon Series adds a bigger hopper (13.5 lb), while the recteq Patio Legend 600 brings more cooking space (600 sq in) and a wider stated range (180–700°F).
We rate it 7.1/10 (good), #5 of 5 in our small pellet grill ranking. The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Its listing states 600 sq in of cooking space, a stated 180–700°F range, WiFi control from your phone and a PID controller. Those are the seller's figures; how it holds temperature in your own wind and weather can't be read from a listing.
How much you really cook: 600 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: look for a grounded, outdoor-rated outlet; if you need an extension, use a short heavy-gauge outdoor one. 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.
