  • Our take on the Cuisinart CPG-256

    The Cuisinart CPG-256 is a compact portable pellet grill built for tabletop use, with a 256-square-inch single cooking grate, an enclosed lid and a warming rack. It runs on wood pellets and covers smoking and grilling in a footprint about 24.5 inches wide and 39.6 pounds, so it fits balconies, tailgates and small patios. Compared with full-size pellet grills it gives up cooking area and side shelves, but it keeps the pellet-fed smoke flavor and lid that most small portable grills lack. It suits apartment dwellers, campers and anyone who wants real wood-fired smoke without a big rig.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Cuisinart CPG-256 big enough for a family?
    It has 256 square inches of cooking space plus a warming rack, which suits two to four people. Larger families or parties will want a full-size pellet grill.
    Can it smoke low and slow or only grill?
    It is a pellet grill with an enclosed lid, so it smokes low and slow and also grills at higher heat. The single grate means no separate sear zone.
    How portable is it?
    At 39.6 pounds and about 24.5 inches wide, it is a tabletop unit one person can lift. It needs a sturdy, heat-safe surface and has no cart or wheels.
    Does it need electricity?
    Pellet grills of this type use an auger and fan, so plan on a power source. Check the controller requirements before buying for off-grid camping.
    What comes in the box?
    Expect the grill body, lid, cooking grate, warming rack and pellet hopper. Check the listing for a cover or probe, which are often sold separately.
    How does it compare with a small charcoal grill?
    It trades charcoal's searing heat for set-and-forget pellet temperature control and smoke flavor. Charcoal is simpler and cheaper to run; pellets are easier to manage.
    Where is the Cuisinart CPG-256 cheapest?
    At Cuisinart, for $349.99, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Cuisinart CPG-256?
