- Can it sear steaks as well as smoke?
- Yes. The flame slider opens direct heat up to 538°C for searing, while the digital controller holds 82–260°C for smoking and roasting.
- How much food fits on the grate?
- The main grate is about 3,500 sq cm on a single rack, enough for several racks of ribs or a large brisket plus sides.
- Does it need a power outlet?
- Yes. The controller, auger and fan run on mains power at 300 watts, so place it near an outdoor socket.
- Is it easy to move around?
- It has wheels, but at 55.5 kg it is best treated as a fixed patio grill rather than something you roll out for every cook.
- Does it come with a meat probe?
- Yes. A meat probe and LED temperature readout are included, so you can monitor internal temperature without a separate thermometer.
- Can I control it from my phone?
- No. The Navigator 550 uses a dial-in digital control board with no Wi-Fi or app, unlike some premium pellet grills.
