The Traeger Pro 575 Is a Very Convenient Backyard Grill

OutdoorGearLab

In recent years, pellet grills have exploded in popularity. There is no mystery as to why – pellet grills offer the control of a household kitchen oven but produce the flavor and texture of charcoal grills and wood smokers. Traditionally, they are not the type of grill that you'd want to tote along with you on an RV trip or to tailgate the big game, but the  Camp Chef Portable Pellet changes that. With a bit of clever design, this model collapses to a size that can be wheeled around and transported into spaces that are a fraction of the size of where most pellet grills can fit. The controls for this grill are digital, allowing you to select the exact temperature you need for the cut you're cooking. If the controls weren't precise enough, there are two digital thermometer probes so that you know exactly when your meat's internal temperature has reached the perfect point. There's no need for piezo buttons, a lighter, or starter fluid with this grill because the ignitor is electric. 
Some of the things we love the most about the Camp Chef Portable Pellet tie directly to its weaknesses. Not only is the ignitor electric, but so is the auger that feels pellets from the hopper into the grill, which means that this grill needs to be plugged into an AC outlet. If you're at home, in an RV, or have a decent power bank, this isn't much of an issue. But for folks that like to go completely off-grid, this model isn't going to work for you. Much like charcoal grills, pellet grills take some time before they're ready for cooking and the Camp Chef Portable Pellet takes a while to warm up. Lastly, this model is really heavy compared to most of the portable grills in our review. The wheels are helpful, but it's not very fun to drag this grill very far from your vehicle. Despite that, we loved cooking with this portable pellet grill – it is the perfect addition to an RV setup.

Consumer Reports

The SmokeFire is Weber’s first foray into pellet grills, and it’s among the better models we’ve tested. It gets above-average ratings for cooking evenness and indirect heating. It also has an integrated cooking system called Weber Connect, which is essentially a smartphone app that connects your phone to the grill’s internal thermometer and the temperature gauge. The app lets you check the internal temperature of food you’re cooking, even when you’re across the yard, and it includes recipes with video step-by-step instructions that you can view on your phone.CR’s test results: Weber SmokeFire EX6 pellet grill

If you like barbecue with a more robust smoky flavor and a darker crust, this is the pellet grill for you. But you can’t easily buy it online; use the Green Mountain Grills website to find an authorized dealer in your area.
