Compact and Works Great!

Bought to use with our new RV. First night we had steaks - best tasting steaks we've had in a long time; second night we smoked a turkey breast . . . wow! We love it!

Cheap inadequate temp control

The grill is behind the times. It doesnt use pid temp control instead it just feeds pellet on a time based schedule so the temp can vary 100 degrees. The pellet feed tube is too low in the fire pot allowing the fire to back up into the tube and catch the hopper on fire. Better brands have remedied this issue by using a deeper pot or baffles. The grill will probably work for hamburg but I wouldnt try an expensive or temp demanding meat on it.

Great little smoker.

I just got this smoker, and have used it twice. I really like it. Only reason I did not give it a 5 seems tho be a lot of dust from the fan. It may be my pellets. I will change to see if that changes.

Very good overall.

I like it very well in general. What I don't like is smoke setting is at 200 degrees, which is higher than desirable for delicate meat like salmon (cooks too fast). This wouldn't be entirely bad except that the temperature temporarily ranges above 200 degrees to as high as 230 degrees. Overall temperature range at the 200 degree setting appears to be from 180 to 230, which is wider than I would like.

Portable pellet grill

I wanted to give it five stars and I would have if it weren't so finicky. In order to smoke (180*) I have to turn it on and as soon as it begins to smoke, turn it off and allow to cool. After it's cooled down I can turn it back on at 180 and it's golden. I will add I have reached out to tech support several times leaving multiple messages and emails without a response.

Outstanding portable wood pellet grill and smoker!

This Cuisinart portable wood pellet grill and smoker is a very capable grill that makes some delicious chicken, burgers, ribs, pizzas and more. My whole family loves it! It fits perfectly in smaller areas and looks great outside on my patio or backyard. It can also be taken on the go, perfect for when we go camping. The smoker heats up perfectly, with easy to use controls to aid you in cooking. I'm looking forward to trying a variety of new food and recipes with this grill and smoker.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

This item leaves our warehouse within 24 Hours

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
