Excellent Grill with Easy Assembly

Excellent grill. Easy to assemble (did it by myself in under 2 hours). The temperature control is spot on, very impressive, compared to other grills I’ve had. I love the power smoke feature, that gives a lovely smoke ring to the meat. It’s very easy to control with the mobile app, which lets me change the settings from the comfort of my sofa. It has a 24” by 20” grill area plus a mezzanine grill which is enough for me. I still haven’t used the AI feature, but looking forward to try it.

Great Grill

Was honestly a little skeptical about the whole "AI grill" thing, but I’ve been using the Argo for a few weeks now and gotta say its pretty legit. The AI actually helps you figure out what to cook, which I didn’t expect to love as much as I do. I’ll just open the app, say I’ve got some chicken, certain spices, or whatever, and it throws out full recipes based on whatever I say...basically like Chat GPT. Once you pick something, the grill basically handles the cooking too. It adjusts temps as it goes, so I don’t have to hover over it or worry about over/undercooking anything. I’ve done ribs, wings, salmon, even veggies. All came out super tasty, and I’m definitely not a grill expert. Build-wise, it’s solid, heavy lid, good shelves, feels like it’ll last a while. The app’s great too, being able to start it or check in from my phone is way more useful than I thought. Only downside is I kinda wish it explained why it its using the ingredients and cooking steps that it's recommending. Like I don't know if it's trying create an authentic recipe or if it's trying to adjust the recipe to my personal tastes. Assembly wasn't too bad with another person, but I think by youself, it'll be a bit annoying. Overall though, super cool, high tech grill that does what it says it will.

Best Grill for first time user!

I’ve been using the Brisk It Argo for about a month now, and it’s easily the best grill I’ve owned. The AI assistant makes cooking super easy, even for someone like me who’s not a pro. I just follow the prompts and it handles the temps and timing. Smoked ribs came out tender and juicy, and it holds heat really well. Love being able to monitor everything from my phone. Worth every penny!

Had questions, got answers!

I wanted to get into grilling/smoking for the first time without spending too much on my first grill, had a Sam's Club membership and thought the price was good compared to similar sized grills. I honestly did not think much of the AI feature when purchasing at first. Delivery was very fast and assembly was very easy (used power drill) The AI feature ended up being really helpful in guiding me even though I didn't use it directly to control the temperature (wanted to try it myself first) but will use it going forward. I was very pleased with how the meat (as well as the potatoes and corn) came out. I honestly think this is the perfect "beginner" grill

This grill can make ANYONE a grill master

I've been shopping for smokers for the last couple months when this Brisk It model caught my eye. The price was great and I was very intrigued by the connectable wifi and use of AI. So I made the purchase and received free shipping with my "Plus" membership. The grill arrived at my door the next day. Set up seemed intimidating but the instructions were clear and precise and all of the tools needed for assembly were included. I immediately loaded it with pellets, downloaded the app, followed the on screen prompts and got the auger primed and heated the grill to 400 degrees for 30min. After that it was time to start cooking. I made a tri tip roast and a 5lb chicken simultaneously. The grill comes with two temperature probes that are connected to the app and basically make cooking idiot proof. I pushed the first one into the thickest part of the tri tip and set it for 135 degrees. I did the same with the chicken and set it for 160. I monitored the app while I watched the game and did some things around the house. About an hour later the app beeped and alerted me that me tri tip was ready to come off the grill. I then let it rest for 10min then seared it on the stove in a cast iron skillet. It turned out very moist and had the perfect amount of smoky flavor. About two hours later my chicken was done and honestly it was the best chicken I've ever grilled. It had so much flavor and was so tender it fell off the bone. Even when reheating the next day it was still soft and moist. This grill can make anyone seem like a grill master. I can't recommend this unit enough. Do yourself a favor and get one asap before summer grilling season kicks into high gear.

Crispy Turkey and Overnight Brisket

Made a turkey with crispy skin in 2 hours! I followed Matt Pittmans recipe on the Meat Church website. If you're on the fence about this grill just get it if only to make turkey and overnight brisket. Just set it and literally forget it. I'm no expert, but can follow a recipe. I purchased this smoker back in July and cooked a few briskets and ribs that came out great. Had an issue with soot, but I emailed the company and they got back to me with detailed instructions on how to reset the auger and clean it. Worked like a charm. Wish it were easier to empty the pellet bin. Only reason for 4 stars.

so far so good

Make sure you have a socket wrench. Because the wrenches they give you are very good, but it was easy to put together outside of that and telling you how to place the legs, they give you the numbers. But don't tell you whether they should be facing out or not. You sorta have to use the picture to figure that out. But it only took about an hour and a half by myself to put it together.

Great grill for the price, perfect for beginners

This was my first pellet smoker and I'm happy with it. It maintains temps very well and was pretty easy to put together. Good smoke rings produced as well. I've done everything from briskets to poultry, and sides, and it's all been great. Just a couple of complaints. The box clearly states to only use their brand of pellets (which is obviously just a way to sell more of their own products) but you cannot find their pellets anywhere, the only place I've been able to locate them is their website and it's always sold out. My other complaint is that the hopper is shaped weird I guess because the pellets don't really shift well, causing kind of a hole to appear down into the auger which will make your flame go out and have to restart the whole process. It doesn't happen often but it can totally screw you up in the middle of a cook. So I guess it needs to be slanted better or something. My issue with this is it means that I can't trust it to set it and forget it, I actually have to monitor the hopper pretty closely to make sure it doesn't do that and make my cooking stop. That's the only thing really that stops it from getting five stars, I can deal with the pellets because I probably wouldn't use their brand anyway.

Verified Purchase

Minor kinks but excited to smoke!

Assembly was super easy, done solo. The hinges look crooked and "damaged," but lid seems to work fine. It wobbles; not sure why because only one way to assemble. The first AI recipe worked great (St. Louis Pork Ribs). It transferred the probe temperatures and times, and did all the right notifications, including when to spritz. However my next recipe (boneless leg of lamb), the probe temperature did NOT transfer over. I thought maybe it would do it later, but since it never did, I wasn't able to perform the final high heat sear. Lesson learned is to verify the probe temp is set too. The most disappointing thing was when I had researched a salmon recipe one day, then when I tried to get to it, the servers were down, so the whole "AI" feature was dead in the water. Fortunately I have a personal AI that gave me a great recipe, and I did it all manually. In fact, my AI (Lumo through Proton) strongly recommended a brine where Vera failed to offer that. Overall, however, for the price this is a fantastic smoking machine and I look forward to many future meals with it.
