Best Combination Grill-Smokers of 2025

"This smoker is fantastic for just about anything! I've cooked burgers, hot dogs, pork butt, and brisket without a hitch. Definitely worth the investment! Traeger’s customer service is outstanding. The only downside is accessing the fire pot can be tricky."

"I gifted this to my son, and he's absolutely loving it! He's cooked everything from ribs to brisket every weekend. It's so simple to use, and I’m thrilled we’re eating healthier now with all the meals he prepares."

"I chose this smoker based on a friend's advice, and it has been great! Stays at the right temperature, and assembly was a breeze. I followed the seasoning procedure, and now I'm excited to smoke some ribs and wings on it."

"I’ve owned various smokers over the years, and this pellet smoker has truly impressed me. It’s easy to use and delivers fantastic flavor. I was concerned about pellet consumption, but it hardly uses any after reaching temperature. For low and slow smoking, it’s just perfect!"

"As a fan of smoking meat, I bought this Traeger after my last grill underperformed. The temperature stability is excellent, making it great for low and slow cooking. Just a tip: avoid Traeger pellets; I recommend Lumberjack for better flavor."

"I was thrilled to assemble this grill myself! It's user-friendly, and I've enjoyed making various dishes from brisket to pizza. The cooking space is generous, and I feel confident using it regularly. Truly a quality investment!"

"I finally purchased the Ironwood 885 after years of hesitation. I visited a Traeger booth at the county fair where they showcased various models, including the Ironwood 885. I was initially intimidated by the price of the newer models, but I found the Ironwood 885 online for $300 less. It’s been six months since I bought it, and I use it regularly. The smell of smoke when I fire it up is fantastic, and it cooks like a convection oven, allowing me to enjoy a great smoke flavor with everything I prepare. My first brisket was a hit, and I can’t wait to try a spatchcock turkey this Thanksgiving!"

"As a fan of Traeger grills, I recently upgraded from my Pro 22 to the Ironwood 650. The first meal I cooked was a bone-in pork shoulder, and the results were excellent. I appreciated how easy it was to track the temperature with the supplied probe and WiFire app. The assembly was straightforward, taking about an hour, and I was impressed with the consistent temperature control compared to my previous grill. Although some reviews mention a lack of visible smoke, I believe this design actually helps keep the smoke circulating better for superb flavor. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my choice!"

"This grill is AWESOME! I've cooked chicken, ribs, brisket, and burgers, and everything turned out great! I know I need to improve my brisket skills, but I see so much potential. The temperature remains consistent, the probes are accurate, and the controls are simple. Although I haven't tried high temperatures yet, the low-and-slow method has worked perfectly. I was surprised to cook burgers at 250 degrees for 50 minutes. The smoke flavor isn't as intense as I expected, but the taste is still fantastic. I'm still experimenting with pellets, and the pellet release door is a great feature. It's more like an outdoor oven than a BBQ pit, and I love the set-it-and-forget-it approach."

"This is my first smoker, and it has exceeded my expectations. It maintains temperature perfectly and smokes meats just as I hoped. I've used several external thermometers, and they match the integrated thermometers perfectly. The hopper is huge and easy to clean. However, the cover is wearing out after less than a year due to sun exposure, so I plan on getting a new one since it's not covered by the warranty."

"I usually don't write reviews unless I'm unhappy, but I have to say I've had this grill for a while now and it has NEVER disappointed! It's incredibly easy to use and does exactly what it claims. Sure, temperatures can vary based on conditions, but if you do your homework, you'll be thrilled. I fired it up to 450 degrees for a delicious ribeye, and I couldn't be happier!"

"I bought this grill as a gift for my husband, and it was the best bang for the buck. We've enjoyed the smoked meat so much that my son now wants one too! The temperature control is straightforward, and we've had no issues with the grill's functionality."

"This is my first pellet smoker, and I'm extremely satisfied with the quality for the price. Assembly was a breeze with my husband, taking about an hour. It holds temperatures well and comes with a helpful guide for usage and cleaning. We can smoke low and slow or sear quickly, and we've used it every day since getting it!"

"I had never used a pellet smoker before, but after seeing a demonstration years ago, I was eager to try one. I bought this grill when it was on deep discount, and I found it easy to assemble—it took less than an hour. The size is a bit of a double-edged sword; it’s a small smoker, which limits the amount of meat I can cook, but it's perfect for beginners. I was able to cook a 4-pound pork shoulder and a whole chicken, and everything turned out great. The smoker maintained its temperature well, giving me confidence in timing my meals. I plan to master this smoker before moving to a larger one."

"Since I got my grill a few weeks ago, I’ve had no delivery issues or damages. While I wouldn't say the assembly was 'easy,' it wasn't too complicated, and I needed help at some stages. I've cooked ribs and a chicken using Z Grill recipes, and I was a bit disappointed with the smoky flavor. However, the grill performed well, maintaining heat effectively. With the help of an oven thermometer, I discovered I needed to adjust the temperature settings, and now my meats are coming out fabulously. I believe with repeated use, the grill will season nicely, and I'm excited for more experiments."

"I’ve used this smoker several times, and as a first-time smoker, I found the assembly straightforward—it took me about 30 minutes. The burn-in process was a bit tricky, but the instructions were clear. I appreciate the easy cleanup with aluminum foil. It doesn’t overwhelm you with options, just a good temperature control system. I highly recommend this purchase for anyone looking for a reliable smoker."

"I was initially hesitant to spend the money on this grill/smoker, but once I made the purchase, I realized it was totally worth it. My wife helped me assemble it, and now we love everything cooked on it!"

"After using a smaller pellet smoker, I feel spoiled with this dual-fire smoker. The huge pellet bin and central burner ensure even heating, and the app interface makes monitoring temperatures easy. I rarely use my gas grill anymore!"

"I've been using my grill/smoker for almost a year, and I have no complaints! It heats up quickly, and I love that it's all controlled from my phone. It's been a game changer compared to my old setup!"

"I found this smoker to be incredible! The assembly was straightforward, especially with the YouTube tutorial. I smoked a Boston Butt and ribs, and the flavor was amazing with the addition of Smoke Tubes. This smoker combines the convenience of a pellet smoker with the classic offset flavor. I highly recommend it!"

"After extensive research, I purchased this smoker and was pleasantly surprised. The cover included was a nice touch. Assembly took a bit of time, but once set up, it performed beautifully. The temperature held steady, and my meats turned out fantastic. I appreciate the removable ash tray and easy cleaning!"

"I was hesitant at first, but after using this smoker, I’m really happy with my decision. I’ve made delicious steaks and brisket. The customer service was excellent when I needed a replacement part. Just a tip: grab a cover to protect it from rain!"
