You can also use the Wi-Fi support available in this budget grill. This will work to make it convenient to set and monitor the temperatures when you cook food - even while you've moved to the side to entertain people.

For pellet consumption, this outdoor grill burns approximately 1.5 lbs of wood pellets per hour. It also has a 12 lb. pellet hopper capacity, which is less than the hopper capacity of the previous ones.

Best Memphis Grill Buyer’s Guide

When buying pellet grills, smokers, and related line of products in the market, there are still one or two things you need to know first before you get one. Here are some things to look at in line with Memphis grills and pellet smokers:

Materials

It’s easier if you’re buying one from a store because you can at least feel the quality of the grills. You want to purchase a pellet grill or pellet smoker that will last a long time, so make sure to check the hardware. But if you’re buying grill or pellet smoker options online, simply do a little research and read articles before you purchase. Stainless steel is a great choice for built-in or freestanding grills.

Temperature

The range matters depending on what kind of cooking you’ll be doing on the outdoor grill or smoker model. For grilling, smoking, roasting, and baking, 425° of heat is enough. For searing, the temperature should reach at least 500°.

In the Memphis grills above, even the budget option can heat up to 550°F. When the temperature is high, you'd want the grill or smoker model to have two fans set for dual heat circulating action.

Size

When buying grills or smokers, consider first whether you’re going to be grilling for large or small parties. It's important to get the right size of Memphis pro grills or smokers to fit your needs.

Extras

You may want a pro grill or smoker with extra features such as Wi-Fi and a meat probe for more grilling convenience.

  • Wi-Fi. This feature is not available in many grills like this, but it's a great bonus in any grill or smoker model.

    Having Wi-Fi capabilities in grills or smokers allows you to set and monitor the heat using your phone or tablet if you’ve stepped away for a moment or for hours. Memphis offered this feature in their line of grills.

  • Meat probe - It’s great if a meat probe already comes with your outdoor grill. The meat probe lets you know the doneness of the meat so it's cooked according to how you want each time. You may need a probe to get the right degree of doneness in steaks.
