Our take on the KingChii PID 3.0 Wood Pellet Smoker & Grill with Folding Legs 456 sq. in.

The KingChii PID 3.0 is a wood pellet smoker and grill with 456 square inches of cooking area, enough for about 15 burgers, and folding legs for moving or storing it. A PID controller holds the set temperature steadier than the dial controllers on budget pellet grills, which matters most for long, low-and-slow cooks. It ships unassembled. It is a low-cost entry into pellet cooking, so expect thinner steel and fewer extras than premium brands.

Questions and answers

Is the KingChii PID 3.0 worth it?
For a first pellet grill on a budget, yes. It gives you PID temperature control and 456 sq in of cooking space at an entry-level price. Expect thinner steel and more assembly work than premium brands.
How is it different from the earlier KingChii models?
The PID 3.0 adds a PID controller, which holds temperature more steadily than the dial controllers on earlier versions. The folding legs are also new for easier storage.
How much does it hold?
The 456 sq in cooking area fits about 15 burgers, or a brisket plus a couple of racks of ribs. That suits a family or a small gathering.
Does it need assembly?
Yes, it ships unassembled. Plan on an hour or two with basic tools, and read the instructions carefully because owners report they can be unclear.
What's in the box?
The grill, folding legs and hardware for assembly. Pellets are not included, so buy a bag of your preferred wood pellets separately.
When is it cheapest?
Pellet grills usually drop around spring grilling sales, Memorial Day and Labor Day, and again in late summer clearance. Check the price history before buying.
