Product reviews of Char-Griller 9040 Wood Pellet Grill

S. : Its been real and its been fun but it hasnt been real fun

Bottom line up front, if i am going to spend more than $400 on a smoker/grill to smoke a $40+ pieces of meat with $40 worth of specialized wood pellets for 10+ hrs of my time i would like the machine to function as advertised and not have to disassemble it to re-wire it correctly myself.

I purchased this chargriller 9020 with the idea that it was "fire and forget" meaning it didnt have to be constantly watched for temp control ect. After around 6 mo i have grilled/smoked every type of meat imaginable with great results however not without much applied effort to manage temperature over long hours (up to 10+ hrs on larger cuts of meat). Regardless of reading and following step by step the proceedures for everything in the manual thinking it was operator error the temp would continuously run out of control. After the 3rd use i noticed the interior paint of the grill begin to bubble and eventually reharden after a cool down concerned for potential chemicals being introduced into the meat i removed the interior paint which easily chipped off during a cleaning (grill is cleaned each use) as all the bubbles had solidified. (Of note this grill was properly seasoned prior to use). After months of fighting this grill trying different smoke settings, different wood types, inspecting internals and insuring the thermometer works correctly in an effort to control heat an online video revealed that the fan and auger wiring harness had been wired incorrectly from the factory (apparently this is not uncommon? #qualitycontrol) enabling the auger to run non stop and the fan to run intermittently which is the opposite of what is suppose to occure. Once the wiring was corrected the grill ran perfectly fine at the desired and selected heat at the requested smoke setting.

Greg : Ignition element went out withing a month. Would not recomend!!!!!! Do not buy, can't even buy parts on their website for this!

Ignition element went out with in a month, blown fuse open element. It will take 7 to 10 days to get the part once Chargriller has received a copy of my receipt and serial number in the mail. Can't buy parts for model 9040, only Chargriller themselves sell them and they are not shown on their website. If you read about blown fuses this is an issue with Chargriller. STAY AWAY!!! Spend the extra $50 and buy a Traeger or anything else that is serviceable and you can buy parts for.

Jeff : Great grill if you want to set it and forget it!

The local grocery store had these for sale over the summer. They had one left tonight marked way down. I asked if it was their lowest price, he said shoot me an offer, it's the end of the season! I said $250, I will take it home now, expecting a big no! He said sold!!! This is absolutely the best grill I have ever owned!! I am a diehard Weber fan but this is great! Just set the dial, check it like an oven! 375 degrees, about an 1 1/2 hr. The best whole chicken I have had without babysitting a fire! The only word I have is AMAZING!!!
