Louisiana Grills 300 Black Label Portable
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.
Goes to the manufacturer. We earn nothing on this one.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓WiFi and Bluetooth on a portable, which the Traeger Ranger and Tailgater at similar prices do not offer
- ✓333 sq in across two levels is more usable area than the Traeger Tailgater's single grate
- ✓10 lb hopper is large for a portable and covers a full low-and-slow cook without refilling
- ✓Grill cover and a meat probe are in the box rather than sold as accessories
- ✓Porcelain-coated grates and a 5-year warranty at the tabletop price point
Cons
- ✗500°F ceiling and no sear zone, so it smokes and roasts far better than it grills
- ✗56.2 lbs is heavy for a tabletop grill and awkward without a second pair of hands
- ✗Some dealers are listing it as a closeout, which suggests the model may be winding down
- ✗Louisiana Grills' direct store is entirely sold out, so support routes through retailers
- ✗Still needs a 120V outlet — unlike the Halo Prime300, there is no battery option

Louisiana Grills 1000 Black Label Series
Louisiana Grills is Dansons' upmarket pellet brand, built alongside Pit Boss but in heavier steel. The Black Label 1000 is the middle of three cart models (800/1000/1200) and gives 1,028 sq in in a 14-gauge body, where Pit Boss uses thinner stock at the same price. Its slide-plate flame broiler pulls the diffuser aside for direct flame over the burn pot, so it sears without an add-on grate. Sold new through Tractor Supply, Walmart and Home Depot; the maker's own web store currently lists every SKU, pellets and bucket lids included, as sold out.

Louisiana Grills Founders Legacy 800
The Founders Legacy 800 is the top of Louisiana Grills' range and the only pellet grill in this catalog built in 304 stainless with a 29 lb hopper. Its Pressurized Cooking System uses an adjustable rear exhaust to hold pressure in a double-lined barrel, and SearTech opens direct flame that the maker rates to 1,000°F — roughly 400°F past what a Traeger or Weber pellet grill will do. A griddle insert and grill light are included rather than sold as accessories. The base 800 is described here; a 1200 sits above it.
Weber
Weber SmokeFire EX6
The Weber SmokeFire EX6 is Weber's WiFi pellet grill, notable for reaching 600°F to sear and using a steep-walled firebox for direct grilling. The 2nd-gen revision fixed many early reliability issues. Note: this model is no longer sold new as of 2026. Its current equivalent is the Weber Searwood XL 600.
Traeger
Traeger Tailgater
Traeger's folding-leg portable, and the larger of its two. It runs the Digital Arc controller rather than a WiFIRE board, so there is no app and no Super Smoke — you set a temperature on the dial and the grill holds it. The 300 sq in grate takes two chickens or three rib racks, which is more than most portables and enough that people buy it as a small patio grill rather than only for tailgates.
Z Grills
Z Grills 7002C3E
The Z Grills 7002C3E is the value pick of the popular 700 series - 697 sq in of two-rack cooking space, a 28 lb hopper, and an upgraded PID 3.0 controller with dual meat probes, at a price hundreds below the name-brand pellet grills it competes with.
Traeger
Traeger Ranger
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.
