- Z Grills app: "Wi-Fi monitoring & control via the Z Grills App" (Multitasker pages).

The grills without Wi-Fi
Ten grills in our check publish no Wi-Fi: Traeger's Ranger and Tailgater portables ("This grill is not equipped with WiFIRE® connectivity"), Pit Boss's FB2 500, 700 and 850, Carbon 500 and 700, and its two portables, and the Z Grills Pioneer 450B. They cost $329.99 to $599.99. A wireless meat thermometer is the usual workaround; we have not compared those.
A hopper that lasts matters as much as an app on a long cook: check yours in the pellet cost per cook calculator. Everything else: pellet grill comparison.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest Wi-Fi pellet grill?
In our check on November 7, 2026, the Z Grills 10502B WiFi XL at $559 (grill only, compare-at price $899 shown by the store). The cheapest Wi-Fi Pit Boss was the Odessa at $697.99 and the cheapest Wi-Fi Traeger the Westwood at $699.99.
Do pellet grill apps need a subscription?
None of the product pages we read mentions a subscription for app control. We did not read the app stores or the apps' terms, so check them before you buy if it matters to you.
Is Wi-Fi the same as Bluetooth on a pellet grill?
No. Bluetooth works within a short range of the grill; Wi-Fi goes through your home network, so you can check the grill from farther away. Pit Boss, Z Grills (10502B), Weber and Yoder list both on the pages we read.
