Cuisinart 24-Inch Portable Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker - CPG-256

This little thing is amazing and I've used it almost every day since I got it! It's perfect for an apartment patio or small yard since it doesn't take up much space. Pellets are amazing and seem to last a long time. They're cheaper and easier than gas. It produces flavor similar to my parents' traeger grill but at a fraction of the price. I also like that it's from Cuisinart so the product is high quality and something that looks good sitting out. It does have an electrical cord so it needs to be plugged in, but that should be ok if you take it camping to a powered camp site or an RV. Overall an amazing product that has made cooking so much more fun and tasty!

We love our new portable wood pellet smoker! It's so easy to use. It's ready out the box! We first smoked a whole chicken and after we smoked a tri-tip. Both were super juicy and moist. This is the perfect size to take camping or to the park. Doesn't weigh much and it's easy to carry. Overall, we're enjoying the convince of this wood pellet smoker.

I love this pellet smoker! It produces great quality food and is so easy to use. It has earned a permanent spot in my collection of cooking equipment. The build quality of the smoker is top-notch it is very sturdy without being really heavy. The grill and heat spreader are easy to clean and the drip bucket is very handy. It heats up very quickly a holds the temperature steady over long periods of time. I've done tri-tips for a few hours and pork butt for over 10 hours and all I had to do was add pellets. It is also very frugal with using pellets. One full hopper is good for 4 hours of smoke at the smoke setting. I didn't run into any issues with the auger jamming and it started up quickly every time. I do like to have the option to open the sear section and get a direct fire to sear steaks and burgers. This worked well and is great for finishing off smoked meats. The included temperature probe is a great way to track temp without having to open the lid and let out the heat. The controller is easy to use and switches between different temperatures quickly. This is now one of my favorite grills and I can't wait to see what else I can do with it.

Highly impressed with this grill. Who couldn't be? Its got 8 different cooking capabilities, from smoked to char-grill. It great for smaller backyards or camping trips. What I like about this is that it knows when to add more pellets to keep the temperature controlled. Huge space for cooking, I'm excited to cook for house gatherings now.

I use this portable pellet smoker grill every single day. I have been obsessed since I got it. The assembly time was minimal and the instructions laid out every step really well. Was pretty easy overall to assemble. The legs are durable and not flimsy. The handle is also sturdy and ensures that I don't get burned opening it. The pellet chamber lasts quite awhile and hasn't clogged at all. It holds a decent amount of pellets. It has dual level grills that give it optimal space for meats and veggies which I love. It's actually pretty huge inside for being a portable smoker. The drip tray hangs easily on the side so the grease has its own little area to drip out and keeps the machine clean. The digital screen makes it easy to select the temperature and stays backlit. It also comes with an external thermometer that plugs in and can sit in there to read the temps of whatever is cooking. The latches that close the smoker are durable and don't pop open under pressure. Everything is easy to clean and maintain too. Game changer for the avid smoker.

I love the ease of using this smoker. Cooked chicken and ribs on it and was very happy with the results. I had so much fun exploring this grill to get that Smokey flavor in food.I will definitely use this grill in all weekend parties. I would recommend this grill to anyone.

This works well. I was quite disappointed when I saw it does require a electric socket for use. I'm not sure what I was expecting as far as that went however the word portable can be portrayed many different ways. I was portraying it as something that did not require a plug. But otherwise it is nifty and works.

I absolutely loved using the Cuisinart portable Grill. It's compact so can be placed in a small patio without worrying about the space. Lightweight hence easy to carry for Barbecue picnics etc. The temperature range is from 180°F to 500°F and is controlled via digital controller. I would recommend it to my friends and family

We just got a RV and this is a great addition for camping! We love smoked meat and this worked perfect. It was popular amongst our friends also. For sure a must have
