If you’re interested in smoking as much as you are grilling, recteq is one of the top options on the market. This is a grill that stands out on pure performance, as well as size.

Firstly, let’s address the performance. It’s an electric, PID controlled pellet smoker. That means that it functions more like an oven than any of the other grills on this list. You set a temperature between 200°F and 700°F, and the grill feeds just enough wood pellets and air into the fire to maintain that temp. And because of that huge temperature range, you can smoke low and slow at 225°F, or you can sear steaks all the way up at 700°F. It’s an incredibly versatile grill.

But it’s also especially portable, which is hard to find in these pellet smokers. With the legs folded down, the grill is only 23 inches tall. Not only is it small enough to fit in the trunk of an SUV or bed of a truck, you can squeeze it into the trunk of a sedan if that’s all you’ve got. It’s perfect for tailgates, city balconies, and luxe camping trips.
