    Best Pellet Grills

    The Searwood's party trick is that it can sear. A direct-flame option lets it hit the high temperatures most pellet grills can't, so one grill handles smoked brisket on Sunday and a steak dinner on Tuesday. It's priced above entry-level pellet grills, but backed by Weber's reputation for build quality and parts support. Model names change, so confirm the current version.
