Coyote 36 Inch Built-in Pellet Grill - C2P36

The bad reviews are true. I had this grill for a month and there were constant issues: 1. Trips dedicated 15 amp outlet/circuit breaker. 2. LCD screen is not reliable and when you hit buttons they do not always respond to touch. 3. The grill goes into an error state and shuts down randomly. The only way to start it back up is to cut power and restart from the beginning. Coyote's non-pellet grills may be great, but I adamantly recommend avoiding their pellet grills.

I purchased the Coyote Pellet Grill Gen 2 and have been disappointed from day one. The grill consistently way hotter than the set temperature, making it nearly impossible to smoke food properly. The temperature on the screen is not anywhere close to the actual cook temp. Coyote's customer service sent out a replacement control board, which I installed but it made no difference. I've seen other online report similar problems, and it seems to be a recurring defect. For an expensive grill, the lack of effective support and resolution from Coyote is extremely frustrating. I expected premium performance and service, but instead, I'm left with an unreliable product that can't maintain basic temperature control.

I've had a horrible experience with this pellet grill. So many problems. My Traeger worked flawlessly and I have several other systems in my outdoor kitchen. Have had so many problems getting it to heat up consistently. Now the LCD stopped working. It's 18 months old. Horrible experience with this product.

I did a lot of research on pellet grills before buying the new Coyote. With all the mixed reviews out there, I even reached out to their team to get clarity on the issues. Here's the truth: most of the negative feedback you'll read are about the first-generation model (before April 2025). Specifically, two things, one, it was their first shot at the pellet grill and they learned changes had to be made and two, a lot of people just didn't know how to actually use the grill the correct way. But like any great manufacturer, Coyote listened to customer feedback and went back to the drawing board. The new Gen 2 is the result and it's a huge step forward. I've been cooking on mine since May and it's been fantastic. Electronics are rock solid, pellet feed system runs smooth – jams only happen if you neglect cleaning or maintenance. The touchscreen is super easy to use and it just feels premium. Lastly, the amount of smoke that it produces is amazing. That was one of the main things that had to be addressed according to older reviews and did they ever. That flavor is exactly what you want from a pellet grill. If you're reading a negative reviews from before April 2025, that is the C1P36. Those issues have been fixed. You can tell the difference by the little black bracket around the temp probes. The new Gen 2, C2P36 is reliable, consistent, and truly a great grill. Not a perfect 5 only because it's still fairly new, but so far, it's outstanding.

Worst experience I've had with a grill. First one the electronics got fried, they said they made a newer model that fixed this issue but here we are after about 3 months of use and the same exact issues are happening. It's repeatedly tripping the GFCI that's on a dedicated 120V circuit. Sad thing is if it just simply didn't have electrical issues it'd be a solid 4.5/5 stars.

After a lot of research it was exactly what I wanted. Holds the temperature very well and versatile

Finally, a pellet grill that works as advertised. Worth paying up for quality performance.The touch screen and controls are intuitive and easy to use.

When it works it does good but it won't feed pellets consistently without getting stopped up. You can feed it and keep it going but it's a bad design

Pellets continually jam. I am constantly taking the feeder apart due to pellets not feeding through. This is not worth the money.

I bought this grill in August 2022 for an outdoor kitchen build. In the 3 years I've had it, it has successfully gotten through exactly 2 grilling sessions. Not even smoking, just grilling. The pellet hopper constantly jams. Every time. To un-jam it, you need to remove many small screws to take off a guard piece and the cover of the part of the augur that pushes the pellets down the chute. If the grill managed to get hot, you're going to have to wait for it to cool down to be able to do it. Customer service is nice and tries to help but after replacing the augur and the hopper assembly, it still doesn't work and jams reliably every time I try to use it. It's a bad design and they should have recalled it. Do not buy.
