EXCELLENT SMOKER/GRILL!! I've had this a couple months and have nothing but great to say!! Perfectly smokes, and turn up to 500° and it grills perfect!! Easy Cleaning, nice finish that wipes right off. big storage for pellets, and a durable cover that blacks all the weather. This is the total package for a reasonable price. I was blessed to find this with $100 off promotion at Sams, so I only paid $399!!! I order my hardwood pellets from Sams at $11 a bag and they burn perfect. I even got two food-grade 5 gallon buckets that seal tightly for storage of pellets for $7.00. I LOVE SAMS!!! ❤️

git it for my husband as his first pellet grill. went to use it and the controller doesnt work. called nex grill and they dont have replacements for the controller. so now i have to return as sams doesnt have replacement grills... the grill is too new for the company to have replacement controllers.. totally sucks..

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!

this is my first pellet smoker but i have been around people using them for years this grill gives a great smoke ring on the meat and keeps temp pretty much on spot so far I have only used this for 3 smokes so far but I am truly impressed with it if anything i would love a way to control the smoke by shutting a damper or something other then that this grill works great

I recently purchased the Oakford 875 as a second pellet grill. Yesterday, my daughter and I assembled it without too much difficulty. I would strongly urge for two to tackle it since some of the connections require a lot of gymnastics. Earlier today, I burned it in and then smoked two racks of ribs. I must say it did a better job than expected for its price point. The only issue with assembly was my own making. We attached the bottom shelf backwards and did not notice it until it was completed. The mistake does not impact function so it will remain as attached. The biggest challenge was connecting the folding front shelf. Others have noted the same issue. It's control scheme is rather straight forward but I have not yet attempted to use the app. Time will tell.

Set-up was easy, instructions were brief and to the point. As I was assembling I noticed it is well built. Getting it ready was well described in manual. I am already enjoying it. I may be a bit cautious, do not want to rush, time will show durability and reliability - both are important to me. I am optimistic.

So, I ordered the Oakford 875 on 05/10/2026 after looking at one in the store. My nearest Sams Club is 65 miles away, so when I got home, I decided to have it shipped instead of driving 130 miles to pick it up. I was hoping to have it before Memorial Day Weekend, but it delivered 05/26/2026. It was the last thing to come off the truck after 8pm so I'm sure it spent hundreds of miles being beat up on the windy country roads to my residence. I did notice some damage to the box and the driver agreed to note this on his paperwork. What I did not expect was what happened when we lifted the top off the box. Parts went everywhere to the point of actually falling and bruising my wife's toe. I am including a picture of what the packaging looked like. The thing was pretty beat up as you can imagine a few dozen parts loose in a big heavy box. I contacted Sams Customer Service, and the lady was nice enough and attempted to display empathy from whatever country she was located in. I was offered a refund or replacement and would have taken the refund but there was $100 off when I ordered it. I requested to pick up the replacement at my local store 65 miles away so I could check it out first and she stated this was not an option. So now I guess I have to wait another two weeks plus and hope the next one is in better shape. I'm not blaming anyone however; it is frustrating to have the pile in the photo on my porch for the next few weeks. There is no way this thing is going back without being completely destroyed. I hope I can give a review on the grill soon.

I love the overall design of this grill. It has an extra large hopper for long cooks, a powerful controller, and thoughtful design on the barrel and shelving. It does suffer from the same design flaw as every other grill on the market with a floating auger motor and gearbox. That's my only major design critique and mandatory upgrade. It does work, but it can be made to work much better for just a few dollars.

This is our second grill the first one something was wrong with the touchscreen on the front. We're gonna see how this one works and hopefully it works out. Don't get me wrong all the food that we have cooked on. It is been awesome. I'm looking much more family night barbecues

I give it 4 stars just because is mandatory to complete the registration and haven't really used it yet. But overall, it looks good and was easy to set up! Some details on the process for the “before first use” are a little confusing and contradictory to some YT videos I've watched, but for now… It was a great buy for a first smoker.
