2025 model (or 2026) pellet grill recommendations?

What are you wanting to use it for?

If you mostly grill hamburgers and steaks, a pellet grill is not your best option and you are going to be underwhelmed. While you can grill on them, it’s more of a side feature that you can make work vs its actual function. (Although the Recteq FirePro series has bridged the gap some)

Where pellet grills are better is low and slow/smoking. If that’s what you are looking for they are great.

I’ve had a bunch of them. an old Traeger, a RecTec (before they changed to Recteq), a Grilla Grills, even a cheap Zgrill. They all basically work the same, but you are paying differently for build quality, quality parts, etc.

Now I use a Masterbuilt gravity that I like for smoking and just use my Weber performer for grilling. The Masterbuilt gravity is just easy since it uses charcoal and I don’t have. To buy pellets. But it works just like the others.

I have a Pit Boss Competition Series. Love it.

Recteq is still a great brand, but the Lone Star Grillz pellet grill is my recommendation. It's expensive, but it will last a long time.
