So far it’s great! I’m a grill guy and it works great for me without the use of charcoal! Only issue I have is with accuracy of temperature. It will be off about 48 degrees and it would be awesome if they had a temperature gauge on the lid for true accuracy. I’m going going install one myself!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Well built

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill is so heavy and well built. I'm impressed by the quality. It did take me a while to put it together though (over one hour). I've been able to cook steak, ribs, vegetables, burgers, and hot dogs, with great results. The flavor that it gives to the food is awesome. We're a family of 7, and the size of this grill is perfect for our needs. I'm happy with it.

Love this smoker

This is my second o e. My ex owns the first..lol it was too heavy for me to carry off the deck. I had it for a year and put it through the grind. I grilled steaks, burgers, brats, kabobs, shrimp, lobster, and crablegs all come out perfect. I have smoked many brisket, pork butt, ribs, and salmon also smoked deviled eggs. Everything is flawless. Before I purchased this I was against them I always had a good offset smoke with real wood. I learned to smok in tx where I could go out and get good wood easy. I always thought these were cheating. I am glad I made the switch I will say I do not get as much smoke as with the off set but I get plenty enough for a good flavor. I have read bad reviews all I will say is as long as you take care of it it will take care of you. I always did a high temp burn off after smoking and kept the pot clean never had an issue at all.

This thing is HUGE!

First of all let me tell you this thing is HUGE! Of all the pellet smokers I had to choose from this by far was the best. It is bigger than all the competition as far as I can tell. Mine was pre assembled which was nice but kind of a pain when you have a lifted truck but that’s what buddies are for right. So far I have smoked what I call the big 3 (pork butt, ribs, and brisket) and they came out amazing! But wait there’s more! This thing does rib-eyes perfectly and with that sear mode oh man it’s good. It can do everything from hot dogs and burgers to pizza. The build quality from what I can tell is top notch, the other pellet smokers feel cheap and flimsy. The only down fall I had with this thing is the darn sticker on the inside of the lid other than that it’s perfect. So if your looking for a pellet smoker and you research the crap out of everything like me STOP! Your done, you found it!

Amazing smoked food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where do I even start?!! This Ryder Pellet Grill is a MUST HAVE! Let's start by saying this grill is a cinch to assemble. The directions are very very easy to understand and follow plus it has diagrams to show you as well. I put this grill together in less than 45 minutes by myself although I did have help standing it upright as it's very heavy. Now let's jump into the performance of this grill! I am a person who loves to grill and would prefer to grill all year long instead of using my stove and now that will happen thanks to this amazing grill! This grill has what's called a start up function which is very nice and doesn't take long to complete. This makes it so your grill is at the perfect temperature of your desire. Once the start up is complete you are now ready to start grilling or smoking. It has a nice size area for you to pour your pellets into and they last quite awhile. It has a lever on the front which allows you to choose to smoke or grill your food. This grill also has two spots to plug a thermometer into so you can keep track of the meat temperature which displays on the screen of the grill(pretty cool huh!) This screen also shows the exact temperature of the grill whether you are grilling or smoking.This grill also comes with two small and very cool drain buckets which catches the grease from your grill, and it also comes with a very nice and durable bucket and lid to store your Pellets in which slides onto your grill under the area where you put your pellets in the grill to use . On the side of your pellet area is a handle which you pull out to empty any remaining pellets back into your storage bucket(very, very nice set up). Clean up is a breeze also, I have used the grill 5 times, went through about 30 lbs. of pellets (1.5 bags), and the ash cup was maybe 1/8 of the way full. The grill has a cooling down process which helps to burn all of the grease off the grates, and burns up the rest of the pellets so there are none sitting in the grill. I have used two different flavors of pellets (jim beam bourbon, maple bourbon) and can't wait to explore other flavors. The pellets add so much flavor to everything I have cooked, and the smokiness goes with absolutely everything! I have made ribs and chicken that are crispy on the outside but have so much moisture and are so tender they just fall apart. I have made salmon, catfish, and baked potatoes that are unlike anything I have tasted before! You can also buy extra accessories like a griddle insert and a deep dish insert and multiflex racks that look amazing, and would make this even more versatile than it already is. I cannot wait to try those other options! I love everything about this pellet grill, and have been having such an amazing time trying new recipes!

We bought this a couple weeks ago, primarily for the smoker. We were thinking we would also need a grill until we found the dlx. This is by far the best smoker and grill we've owned. The burgers we tried on the grill function are unbelievable! When I put on my grillin apron the wife now calls me chef! Thanks y'all!

Excellent Smoker
on May 30, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this grill about a month ago and was excited to smoke my first brisket. Assembly was a bit challenging (I did it myself but it recommends two people) and I definitely recommend you assemble in the area you plan to use it. It can be moved on its wheels but given the significant weight and hard edges, you want to be careful. I placed it on my outdoor open area patio and also purchased the cover for it. I purchased pellets at a local hardware store. For the most part, it was set it and forget it. Smoke was heavy in the ignition and shutdown/burnoff phases but the rest of it was minimal meaning it was well contained in the chamber. The included temperature probes were nice but I was concerned they were not registering the correct temperature since my 13 lb brisket cooked in 7 hours (350 to start and 325 toward the end). I bought another probe mid smoke and it all registered the same. The real test was how good it tested. I got an excellent bark and smoke ring and was very juicy, even in the flat. On a 7 hour smoke, I used about 2/3 of the 20 lb pellets and ash in the ash cup was minimal so firebox had a very clean burn. Overall, this was very easy to use and I'm very happy with the result. I look forward to trying the sear mode with some steaks next.
