What matters in pellet grills

Every grill here burns hardwood pellets fed by an auger, with a controller that holds the temperature you set. What separates them is plainer: how much food fits on the racks, how many pounds of pellets the hopper holds before a refill, how hot and how low the controller goes, whether you can run it from your phone, how many meat probes come in the box, whether it can open up for a direct-flame sear, and how long the maker stands behind it.
