So if you are reading this, you are obviously interested in a smaller smoker pellet grill.  So here are the dimensions.  One thing I like to point out is the weight.  At first glance, 90 lbs may seem heavy especially compared to other small smokers and grills.  The weight is a testament to the quality construction of the Grilla Chimp.  It’s not just stamped out of sheet metal, it is well built.

The cooking area is split into an upper and lower rack for a total of 460 square inches.  That breaks down to dimensions of 22″x15.5″ on the main rack and 22″x5.5″.  The top grate is removable if you have a larger piece meat.  As for cooking temperatures, you have a cooking range of 185 degrees to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.  The pellet hopper will hold 15 pounds of pellets so you have plenty of run time.  For instance if you are set at 250 degrees, you are looking at a range of 10-15 hours.

So yes, this is a pellet smoker/grill and so like others, you load the pellets and set your temp and the unit will feed the pellets.  The Chimp features the Grilla Grills Alpha Connect WiFi Controller that functions through an app on your phone.  That means you can get it set up and running and go about your business.  One of the biggest challenges in smoking is maintaining temperature, running back to the smoker and checking in.  Especially is this a hassle in windy or cold conditions.  With the WiFi controller, you can do that from your phone.  The grates are stainless steel, no corrosion or pitting of painted or chromed grates.  The fire pot is also stainless steel as well for much longer life.  The double wall construction helps maintain steady temps during smoking, a real plus.  The unit comes with a probe for you meat so you can monitor that at the same time.  Safety features shut down the grill if it drops below 150 degrees for an extended time or if the temp goes past 615 degrees.  If either should occur, an error message will be displayed.

Yes, the unit does require 110V to operate.  So can it truly be portable?  Well, yes if you do it right.  If you are camping or tailgating without power, consider a power station.  Grilla Grills offer a power station that can run the Grilla Grill Chimp for over 10 hours!  There are many power supplies on the market to choose from that will work as well.  Other options include an inverter that you can power from you 12V car battery.  So yes, this unit can truly function of the grid.

If you are looking for a portable, quality pellet smoker or grill that does justice to your meats, I think the Grilla Grill Chimp deserves you consideration.  This is a truly portable unit.  Heavier yes but quality sometimes weighs just a little bit more.  The Chimp is equally at home on your deck, in your driveway or even camping.  Adding a power source allows operation completely off the grid!  We’ve uploaded the manual for the Grilla Grill Chimp below so you can take a more in depth look simple assembly and operation of the unit.  Simply click on the manual below to view.
