Oakford 875 smoker

Easy to assemble. Easy setup to season and get started cooking. Temperature control is stable and first cook was pork steaks that were cooked just great.

Awesome Smoker

We gave this to my husband as an early Father's Day gift and he loves it. Very pleased with the quality and very easy to put together.

2 Down, Many More To Go!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cooked on my smoker twice already and love it! The temperature swings are minimal and actually pretty accurate and the pellet hopper easily ran for 15 hours without having to replenish the pellets! Overnight smoke went off without any issues!

Oakford 875

We decided to purchase the Nexgrill smoker because of our great experience with a Nexgrill propane grill. We have not been disappointed at all. Really love the precise temperature control. Smoker was easy to assemble and seems to be very well designed and built.

Am Excellent, Reliable Smoker!

​I recently purchased the NexGrill Oakford 875 Pro, and after putting it through its paces, I am incredibly happy with this grill/smoker. My family is going to enjoy a lot of great food from this in the future! ​Assembly %26 Setup ​Clear Instructions: The manual was very easy to follow, which made the setup process seamless. ​Solo Assembly: It took me about 45 minutes to assemble the entire unit completely by myself. ​Performance %26 Cooking ​Fast %26 Stable Heat: The grill heats up very quickly and maintains my selected temperature exceptionally well. ​First Cook Success: The day after assembly, I smoked some baby back ribs and hot dogs, and everything came out fantastic. ​Massive Pellet Hopper: I absolutely love the huge pellet hopper capacity. You don't have to constantly worry about refilling it during long cooks. ​Note on Probes: I didn't use the included meat probe, but only because I prefer using my own wireless probes. ​Cleaning %26 Maintenance ​Clean-up was incredibly easy, which is a massive plus for a pellet grill of this size. ​⚠️ One Minor Critique ​Lid Clearance: Keep an eye on your forearms when operating the lid. If you aren't careful, it's easy to accidentally burn your wrist while opening and shutting it. ​The Verdict ​If you are looking for a reliable, steady smoker that feeds a crowd and doesn't require a headache to assemble, the Oakford 875 Pro is a great choice. Highly recommended!

Hurley, thank you for this incredibly thorough and well-organized review! Clear instructions, a smooth solo assembly, fast and stable heat, and a pellet hopper big enough for long cooks without constant refilling are all things we are genuinely proud of. Your note about lid clearance near the forearms is a great safety tip we will make sure reaches our team. We are thrilled the baby back ribs were a hit on the very first cook. Please call us at 1-800-913-8999 to register your warranty. Here is to many more great smokes for your family!

Honest review after usage

After 6 weeks of owning this Grill I've done several Cooks including few chuck roast a smoked turkey and a brisket. Only problem I ran it through is pellets feeding. The hopper box seems too wide not as narrow so pellets get stuck on the sides if it's not completely full that happened in two separate Cooks. But on the last cook if you fill it all the way to the top before even hits halfway it will give you at least 8 to 10 hour cook time. Besides that everything works great and temperature is actually hold solid between 5° up and down and the heat distribution inside is not bad it's closer to the right side where it's hotter than the left side. But overall a Solid 4 star it would have been five if I didn't have a pellet feeding issues. I say great starter for somebody who's getting into smoking

Oxford 875 Pro from Sam's club

Writing this the day we set it up. Overall pretty easy set up. Pretty heavy so it took 2 people to assemble. Have not used it yet so can not speak for the cooking quality, but I will update once we have a few months of use. We went with the Nexgrill because it was more affordable than Traeger, and it seemed more sturdy and better quality than the Sam's Club brand!

Poor hopper design

Very disappointed in the hopper. The sides should be designed with a steeper slope. I should NOT have to hover over it to make sure that the pellets are still going until the auger. This has happened on more than one occasion. I guess i need to babysit it so that I don't ruin more meat.

Smoker lost connection and couldn't turn off manua

Smoking a 12lb brisket at 205C, the pellet smoker lost WiFi connection and started to send more pellets into the auger. The temp rose up to 410C without me knowing since the grill locked up connection. You couldn't even manually turn it off the main controller. Only way was to unplug from the power outlet. Very dangerous.

reply from Product Support

Hi Lu, we take this very seriously and we are sorry the WiFi connection dropped mid-smoke on your brisket, causing the auger to keep feeding pellets and the temperature to climb far beyond your setting without any way to manually shut it off from the main controller. Please call us right away at 1-800-913-8999 so we can look into this and get a replacement part sent out to you.
