1. What is a wood fire grill?

It’s a grill that uses 100% natural wood pellets as fuel instead of the traditional propane or charcoal. It imparts a highly sought after flavour that enhances the taste of nearly everything you cook on it. From a mild smoked taste to hints of cherry, hickory, and maple, there are flavours available to suit any preference.

2. Can you really smoke and bake on it?

Yes! Memphis Grills have true convection and smoking capabilities. Bake bread, cook a wood-fired pizza or smoke rids – it’s all possible via the Intelligent Temperature Control (ITC) system. Throw a backyard pizza party or cook the Thanksgiving turkey – it’s completely up to you!

3. What temperature ranges can be achieved?

The Elite model can go from 180 to a whopping 700 degrees. Sear a steak at the hottest temperatures or adjust the grill temperature to 295 degrees or below to smoke succulent ribs, briskets, and roasts.

4. How can I read the temperature of whatever I’m cooking?

Every Memphis grill comes standard with a digital food probe that displays the internal temperature of whatever you’re cooking. Further, you can set the ITC to a desired food temperature and when it hits that temp, it automatically reduces the grill temperature to the lowest set point to keep your food ready to serve.

5. How does the convection over work?

Grill chamber design, advanced engineering, and convection fans circulate heat evenly and provide the consistent temperatures required for convection oven performance. Other brands may claim to have convection over capabilities, but we can accurately backup that claim with engineering facts.

6. Where can I get wood pellets?

Nature’s Way wood pellets (our house brand) are available at all Memphis dealer locations. Every 20lb bag of pellets last just as long and costs about the same as a traditional tank of propane. They’re 100% natural, healthier and more efficient than charcoal. Available in eight flavour varieties, you can feel free to mix and match to achieve your flavour preferences. And don’t forget that they’re made from completely renewable resource (unlike our fossil fuel burning competitors).

7. The grills are made in China, right?

Nope. All Memphis Wood Fire Grills are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA and are backed by a 7-year limited warranty. Our superior craftsmanship and strict adherence to manufacturing standards guarantee products with unbeatable reliability and durability in any climate or weather condition.
