KingChii's 456 square inch pellet grill is a budget-friendly smoker that stands out for small-family cooking and basic pellet grilling. The low price is the main draw, and the unit is described as heavy and solid, with parts that closely match Pit Boss and compatible probes available. It can handle two slabs of ribs, though the cooking area feels tight for larger smokes and the grill sits low. Easy ash clean-out is missing, assembly can be involved, and warranty support is reported as weak, so it fits best when price matters more than convenience.
Small-family cooks smoking two slabs of ribs, because the 456-square-inch chamber handles that load easily.
At around $240, it is viewed as a budget-friendly option that is appropriate for the price, especially compared with pricier pellet grills. The tradeoff is weaker warranty support and fewer convenience features than higher-end models.
No easy ash clean-out is built in, so ash removal requires disassembling internal grates and heat-deflector parts to vacuum it out. That makes it less convenient if easy cleanup is a must-have feature.
Yes, it can handle two slabs of ribs easily and is described as a good fit for a small family. The 456 sq in cooking area is still considered tight for larger smokes, and a small pork shoulder is about the upper limit for some uses.
It does not include meat thermometers, and it does not have a direct-heat or sear slider feature. That means it functions more like a smoker than a true grill for high-heat searing.
It can work well, but there are reports of full assembly taking longer than expected and at least one unit arriving with a nonworking auger. Walmart's 90-day return window is useful for testing it thoroughly before that period ends.
Reviews are saying it's appropriate for how much you are paying. Reddit users say if you need them to honor warranty - probably won't get much support. Buying it from Walmart - have 90 days to make sure it's working properly or you'll be fixing it yourself.
I'd like to hear from someone who actually own and used one. Material thickness is very important when it comes to grills and smokers. How's this material wise? Capacity is the second, can you smoke two slabs of pork ribs at once? Just asking.

In the market for a cheap pellet grill, but I told myself the next pellet grill I get will have easy ash clean out.... Unfortunately the cheapest I could find so far with that feature is $409....
This is cheap enough that it has me on the fence to pull the trigger. If it lasts me 4 years it would be well worth it at this price point. This would be replacing a 6 year old pitboss.

I'm curious which one you found for $409 with the ash easy cleaning feature. I'm looking to get a pellet grill and cleaning is a major concern for me.

On sale at Sam's for a little longer for #399. $100 off. This thing is built like a tank at 136.7 pounds. This is one I'm thinking about. https://www.samsclub.com/ip/seort/18201822128
Its junk. Bought it last winter, assembled it - which took longer than it should have, you're basically doing a full assembly. Only for the auger to not work. Returned it by UPS pick up
Recently bought the Traeger Pro 22 for $390. Stick the legs on and its good to go. Much better
If I were to go with Z grill brand I think would rather go all out and spend the $777 on their 3 free grills with the purchase of 1 from their website. The best seller and another model both have the ash clean out.

Not a bad option but no easy ash clean out and thats one of the things I prefer over anything else. I dont care for app control. The larger hopper is cool, but honestly I rather just save the money and go with the KingChii or one of the other brands that uses the same product that I found on walmart for the $250 if I were to compromise.

I'm not a fan of pellet. I'd use a Rectek Bullseye though since it can get hot enough to actually sear a steak. Most pellet "grills" don't get hot enough to grill and are only smokers. My main grill right now is a gravity fed charcoal. Watch for clearances every fall and winter and hold out for what you want unless you absolutely need one soon. Charcoal and wood chips are so much better than pellet.

You need to look for the pellet grills that have a sear feature. My pitboss has it you just have to open the plate before you start grilling and you are good to go. Its way more common now and they use a external handle now so you can open and close the sear plate on the fly instead of before you start grilling like my pellet grill. Yes I saw the charcoal gravity fed ones and reviews on at least the OG version were not great.

I bought one last year, and I would spend $80 (AR) more on the Pit Boss 700 (PB700fb2) from Menards.
1) The placement of the internal probe is not ideal. It's right over the top of the burner. I moved to the back middle.
2) Does not include meat thermometers.
3) No easy way to empty ashes. Must disassemble internal grills and drip pan and heat deflector to vacuum out ashes.
4) Does not have a (grill) feature. Others will have a slider which allows for direct heat.
5) For any larger smokes, you're going to find 456sqin to be pretty small. Barely fits a small pork shoulder.

The grill can handle two slabs of ribs for larger cooks.
The parts are reportedly very similar to Pit Boss, including compatible probes.
The unit reportedly works well for a small family and supports manageable seating height.
Easy ash clean-out reportedly is not available, which can require more effort for ash removal.
The auger reportedly failed after a full assembly, leading to a return.
Warranty support reportedly may be weak, and Walmart's 90-day window is emphasized for verification.
