Gone are the days of hunching over a flickering charcoal grill, monitoring the flames and burgers while swatting mosquitos. The smart home revolution has made its way to the backyard.
The latest generation of smart grills eliminates the variables that often lead to undercooked or overcooked meats, frustrating grillers from coast to coast.
Smart grills offer the consistency required for perfect barbecuing. Trusted grill brands like Traeger and Weber are leading the smart grill way with sophisticated burners, self-monitoring systems that calibrate precision heat, and phone notifications to take the guesswork out of grilling. Ready to graduate to grilling 2.0?
Weber SmokeFire Wood Pellet WiFi Grill
One grill that does it all! The Weber SmokeFire Wood Pellet Grill offers a wide range of temperatures for searing, smoking and even baking. Monitor your food with the Weber Connect app, your own grilling assistant. You’ll receive notifications tracking temperature and providing a countdown to when your food is done.
Memphis Grills Pro WiFi Controlled Pellet Grill
Memphis Grills are known for offering some of the best technology and performance in the market, but they aren’t cheap. The Memphis Grills Pro WiFi Pellet Grill delivers a sleek design and precise cooking thanks to its intelligent temperature control (ITC).
Similar to an indoor oven, it maintains the set temperature through constant monitoring. Access the ITC through WiFi or data. Unlike other smart grills that only work within range of your WiFi, so you can monitor this one even while you’re chatting with your neighbor across the street. Just make sure someone else stays close to the grill to keep an eye on things.
Camp Chef Woodwind Pellet Grill With Propane Sidekick Burner
Set the temperature, adjust smoke levels, start the timer and receive a notification when your food is cooked to perfection with the Camp Chef Woodwind WiFi Pellet Grill. A color digital display tells you exactly what’s happening on up to four meats cooked simultaneously at different temperatures. Plus, we love the sidekick burner which doubles as a griddle.
Traeger Grills Pro Series 780 Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker
“Alexa, set the temperature in my Traeger to 175.” The Traeger Pro Series Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker, along with its “WiFire” technology, connects to your Alexa for easy voice commands. You can also use the Traeger App to change temperatures, set timers and monitor your food from anywhere. Control 780 square inches of grilling space in the palm of your hand!
Weber Genesis II Propane Gas Smart Grill
The popular and reliable Weber Genesis has been upgraded with a cool, new smart tech package. The Weber Genesis II Propane Gas Smart Grill connects to your phone to give real-time food temperature readings and readiness alerts. Set your steak program and receive an alert when it’s reached an exact medium-rare finish. No more guesswork!
