ASMOKE AS350 Portable Pellet Grill

The Trek is GMG's portable, and the only pellet grill in this batch that runs off a 12V car battery as well as household power — that is the whole point of it. It carries 219 sq in on the main grate plus an upper rack, a 9 lb hopper, and the same 150–550°F range and PRIME app as the full-size Ledge and Peak. At $399 it is also the cheapest WiFi pellet grill from a known brand.

Brisk It is the first brand to build generative AI into a pellet controller: its Vera software takes a plain description of what you are cooking and writes the temperature-and-time program itself, then runs it. The Zelos-450 is the entry model at 450 sq in, and the only one of the three currently in stock on Brisk It's own store. Hardware-wise it is a conventional adaptive-PID pellet grill with a 12 lb hopper and a 180-500°F range; the controller, not the cooker, is what you are paying for.

Halo is in this catalog for its griddles only; the Prime300 is its countertop pellet grill and the one genuinely unusual thing in Halo's range. It runs from the included AC adapter or an optional 12V 5Ah lithium battery, making it one of very few pellet grills that works with no outlet at all. A 10 lb hopper gives 15-20 hours of runtime in a 49 lb countertop body, and a slide-control damper opens a direct sear over the fire pot.

Z Grills' entry model, refreshed for 2026. It keeps the thing that makes the brand worth listing at all — a genuine PID 3.1 controller — at a price where Traeger and Pit Boss both ship simpler boards. 459 sq in, an 18 lb hopper with a cleanout door for swapping pellet species, two meat probes and a grease bucket. There is no WiFi at this tier; that starts at the 700-series.

Traeger's tabletop pellet grill — a legless box meant to sit on a truck gate or picnic table rather than stand on its own. It runs the same Digital Arc controller and 8 lb hopper as the Tailgater but only 176 sq in of grate, and it ships with a cast iron griddle insert that the Tailgater does not include. Its 60 lbs is heavy for a tabletop, which is the one thing buyers consistently do not expect.

The 300 Black Label is Louisiana Grills' tabletop pellet grill and the only portable in this catalog that ships with both WiFi and Bluetooth — the Traeger Ranger and Tailgater have neither. 333 sq in across a main grate and an upper rack, fed by a 10 lb hopper, in a 56 lb body with a cover and a meat probe included. It sits directly against the Traeger Tailgater at $500 and the Green Mountain Trek Prime at $399.
