Smart pellet grills hold a set temperature and let you watch and adjust from your phone.

| Grill line | App | Notes | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Traeger (WiFIRE models) | Traeger app | Biggest lineup, guided cooks | [Traeger](https://www.traeger.com/) |
| Weber Searwood | Weber Connect | Higher searing temps for a pellet grill | [Weber](https://www.weber.com/) |
| Recteq | Recteq app | Known for steel build | [Recteq](https://www.recteq.com/) |

## What to check

- **Temperature range:** high top temps help with searing.
- **Built-in probes:** how many ports, and whether the app shows them.
- **Hopper size:** bigger means longer smokes without refilling.
