143 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['At 14 x 21.5 x 13.5 inches and 47 lb, this Onlyfire Grills unit is noticeably smaller than most pellet smokers on the market. That compact size is a genuine advantage for people with limited outdoor space or who want to smoke food on a balcony or small deck.', 'Stainless steel construction at this price point is a pleasant surprise. Most budget pellet smokers use painted alloy steel, so stainless helps with longevity and cleanup. Pellet fuel means set-and-monitor convenience: load the hopper, dial in a temperature, and the auger feeds pellets automatically to maintain consistent heat.', 'With 143 reviews at 4.4 stars, buyers are generally pleased. At $259.99 it represents a relatively affordable entry into pellet smoking without committing to a 100-plus pound floor unit.']

Frequently asked questions
Can this smoker handle a full pork shoulder or brisket?
Given the compact dimensions of 14 x 21.5 x 13.5 inches, this unit is better suited to smaller cuts like chicken thighs, ribs, or smaller pork shoulders rather than full-size briskets. If you regularly cook for groups of six or more, a larger pellet smoker with more cooking area would serve you better.
What type of wood pellets should I use?
Food-grade hardwood pellets designed for pellet grills and smokers work in this unit. Popular choices include hickory, apple, cherry, and mesquite, each contributing different flavor profiles to the food. Avoid using heating pellets or pellets that are not rated for cooking, as they may contain binders or chemicals not intended for food contact.
Is assembly difficult for this smoker?
The compact size of this unit generally means fewer parts to assemble compared to full-size offset or cabinet smokers. Buyers across the 143 reviews have not raised widespread assembly complaints in the rating pattern. Check the included instructions and allocate about an hour to put it together without rushing.
