I have on three Traegers. Two pro 57 fives and an Ironwood 650. None of them could keep temperatures. Got my money back. Bought a rec teq. Been very happy with it.
First time watching this video. 2 things with the Coyote is the lights will get gummed up pretty often and control panel is in very close proximity to the heat. But the hopper in front is epic.
Came across this video and thought this was a good truthful review. First time I have heard of the Coyote and it is very impressive. I like the Memphis model as well and thanks for briefly discussing the difference between the Memphis Pro and Beal street series. I have been eyeing the Beal but now I will research more on the coyote.
Coyote- Make sure you are 100% certain you want the one you order, they have a no return policy once you break the packing strapping. If you buy it online
I have coyote pellet grill .Great heat retention during the Chicago winter. It has very low pellet consumption rate. I've smoked my brisket for 14.5 hrs at 225 F. I could also sear my steak in 3 minutes.
Haven't seen too much feedback from people who have used the Coyote Pellet grill, anything you'd share with people that are interested in it? Does it really get up to 700 degrees, how do you find it really sears. Seems like a really compelling alternative to a nice SS gas grill to get smoking and regular grill searing.
After reviewing this video I did not favor any of them , that being said I did go with the Green Mountain Daniel Boone Prime. And here’s why : • DC direct power controlled • Temp range 150-550 deg • PID controller is one of the best on the market • Little to no heat fluctuations +\- 3-4 deg • WiFi • Dual meat probes • 13 gage metal • Ash clean out system • internal lighting with view window • viewing window on hopper • 458 sq in cooking area • 3 yr warranty 5 yr support • Optional Accessories : • 900 deg pizza oven attachment • Rotisserie attachment So overall this is in my opinion the better smoker. Price point $799 I do drive a Porsche not a BMW
Great comparison. That Coyote really catches my eye. Have been dreaming about grills for my house that's under construction (probably a ways out before I can swing a grill, but man have I missed grilling) and naturally fell in love with the Hestan. Though not sure I'll quite have that budget so have been zeroing in on the Coyote S gas grill being drawn to the heavy duty all 304 construction and those beefy burners. Though I saw this and it instantly caught my eye (the LCD especially being a tech person I'll admit). It really seems like this might be a great smoker & grill combo since it allegedly gets up to 700 degrees? I mean on the BBQ guys review of the Coyote S it got to about 670ish temperature with the burners set to high at 15 minutes so this seems comparable. Though it seems the biggest tradeoff between a premium gas grill vs this is the infrared burner (and the briquette trays potentially, though torn on those personally) vs this offering smoking. Curious on your thoughts of something like this Coyote could really satisfy the all in one grill & smoker combo or if I'd really miss the infrared burner on the gas grills?
So, Trevor, I’m in the market for a premium, even a luxury brand pellet grill. For me, the must-haves are an ability to sear, since it’s replacing my luxury brand, free-standing SS propane grill, plus the ability to do what only a pellet-style grill can do. I loved your Traeger-vs-Memphis-vs-Coyote video. They are all beautiful products. BUT, living in Southern California, stainless steel is very hard to maintain. I’ve spent more time cleaning and vigorously maintaining my propane SS grill, than actually using it. And stainless is beautiful when brand new but scratches so frustratingly easy. I know it can be “repaired” but at enormous cost. So factoring in those thoughts, what pellet grill would you pick of the three? The other factor for me is size. Living in the typical SoCal home with a postage stamp yard, I can’t accommodate anything bigger than 28-36” in size. Frankly, the smaller, the better, but without sacrificing overall function and quality. Thanks!!!
Trevor you can reverse the pellet lid so it opens the other way. This will make it much easier to load the pellets and you won’t have to clean so many pellets off your floor. Your welcome in advance. Lol
It's really too bad the Coyote pellet grill hasn't gotten on board with wifi controls like the most of the pellet smokers. It's nice to be able to monitor and adjust from inside the house.
@@embersliving Damn, really. Love your videos. I have a camp chef, my first entry to pellet grill. I was a gas grill user for years. My friend avoided gas grill year ago and went from charcoal to pellets. Now I know why.
Yeah, the Memphis is an awesome grill. If you don't mind the fact that the WiFi doesn't work on your $5000+ grill, grease fires happen if you don't clean out the grill after pretty much every cook, (and frequently even if you do) the lid is cheap feeling crap, the temperature is prone to wild swings, the pellet feeder loads up the drop ramp all the time (be prepared to lose a few $60+ briskets to flame outs in the middle of the night). The WiFi issue is notorious, and Memphis hasn't dealt with it in over 6 years of manufacturing the WiFi model. Grease fires are internet famous too. Build quality is a joke for a grill this expensive. The first time I did fire pot maintenance on mine, which entails removing the fire pot and vacuuming underneath it, something that must be done often I discovered that during the assembly process they stripped one of the four screws holding the fire pot in place, and broke another one, just leaving it in place. I had to buy new screws and tap out the hole where they left the broken screw in place. Mind you, this is a $5000 "top of the market" grill that I had only owned for about 3-4 months at the time. My $2000 Traeger Timberline, which I sold to replace with the Memphis had a better build quality than the Memphis does. Pellet overload and burnouts are also quite common and well known. There have been a couple of times in my less than one year ownership of this grill when, while doing an overnight cook I woke up in the morning to find the Memphis had experienced a burnout because the fire pot apparently got overwhelmed with pellets and loaded up, thus smothering the low temp (185 degrees) fire. Thanks for ruining my prime brisket Memphis. When I complained about all of my frustrations with my Memphis on a Facebook page where Memphis lurks they reached out to me over the phone to "address my concerns." Their definition of that was telling me, "We're working on a replacement WiFi board and testing it internally. When we're ready to test it with customers we'd like to know if you would be interested in being in our early adopters group." Really? So you've known about this issue for 6+ years, and are just now getting around to fixing it, but you want me to be a beta tester? I also explained to them that the WiFi was just one of my frustrations, and spelled out the other frustrations. To which I got a polite "we're sorry your frustrated" and virtual shoulder shrug. I suggested that if they wanted to make me happy they bring out the ITC model that they just released not long after I got my Memphis and replace mine with it, since it supposed addresses some of the documented issues I, and many others have been experiencing. Crickets. If you're considering a high end grill and don't need a built-in do yourself a favor and buy the Traeger Timberline. You'll save many thousands of dollars over the Memphis, and you will have a grill on which you can actually rely. If you need searing you can use part of the many thousands you save on a really nice Napoleon or other gas grill. I cooked on my Timberline for 4 years, and never once experienced any of the issues I have with my Memphis. Buyer's remorse extraordinaire.
I own an older Memphis Pro. (304SS) It has served me well, but after ~8 years of use, the inside walls have deteriorated to the point that the supports that hold the heat shield in place have broken off and there's a hole on the inside of the grill. the outside of the grill looks brand new. the inside is just destroyed. Not sure that's to be expected, but for a grill that costs so much, it's pretty disappointing to basically have to throw away a perfectly fine working grill. I'm sure it could be repaired by someone who has some welding skills, but I'm using it as an excuse to get a new grill. I will not be going with Memphis again, but rather Coyote. Here's why: -Hopper in front - the Coyote's hopper system is just superior. Having to load the pellets in the back is just a bad design. If you don't have space behind your grill, you have to reach over a hot/smoking grill and of course the hopper lid opens towards the front which makes it that much harder to work around. If you're cooking at high heat with the lid open, you can't access the hopper. Not a huge deal, but not a great design. -Grease tray drawers - the Memphis drip pans are not on tracks. they just slide in. the coyote's are on glides. this may not seem like a big deal, but in actual use, it is. In the memphis, if you slide the drawers out, but don't remove them, the front of the drawer drops down because there's nothing to support it. so really you have to fully remove the drawer to empty them at which point you're carrying around a tray full of grease. And of course, the trays don't rest flat, they tilt back so if you pull out the tray and put it on the ground, the grease goes to the back, potentially making a mess. The Coyote's system is just so better thought out. Grates - I've lost too many pieces of asparagus or small pieces of jerky between the memphis's grates. The Coyote's grates should prevent this from happening. The Coyote's also just feel like a premium product. Shelve - That double wide upper shelf on the coyote is just awesome. I like to do my briskets on the second shelf with a drip/water pan under it on the main cooking surface. On the memphis you can do this, but the shelf is narrow so a good sized brisket isn't going to rest flat on it, It's going to overhang on the sides. Overall sense of value - The memphis is a solid/sturdy but the fact that mine has deteriorated from use doesn't leave me with any sense of brand loyalty. Like I said, maybe that's just to be expected, but still. For the price, I would expect a Memphis to be the pinnacle of grill design and craftsmanship. Coyote, for less money, provides solutions to many of the faults I've found in the Memphis. Memphis has been cranking out basically the exact same design for 10+ years. Not a lot of innovation. Coyote has basically started from square one and has created a product that just feels more modern and well thought out. For that reason, Coyote will be getting my money.
Bought a beale street from bbqguys and holy shit what a pile of crap that thing has been. Wont hold a consistent temp or anything, Ive been more of a grill technician than I have been able to cook on the damn thing. Memphis just keeps sending me parts to keep replacing, real joke, stay away from Memphis imo.
I have on three Traegers. Two pro 57 fives and an Ironwood 650. None of them could keep temperatures. Got my money back. Bought a rec teq. Been very happy with it.
wow intresting
Great video...appreciate the review and comparisons.
Thanks for watching!
Enjoy your content, The only legit grill review/info content i have seen on RUclips.
I’m watching from Huntsville, AL and I love my Ironwood 665
I appreciate that!
First time watching this video. 2 things with the Coyote is the lights will get gummed up pretty often and control panel is in very close proximity to the heat. But the hopper in front is epic.
Oh yeah!!
Came across this video and thought this was a good truthful review. First time I have heard of the Coyote and it is very impressive. I like the Memphis model as well and thanks for briefly discussing the difference between the Memphis Pro and Beal street series. I have been eyeing the Beal but now I will research more on the coyote.
I would highly recommend the coyote
Thanks! Great review as always...
Thanks for watching!
Great review. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice review. I have the Memphis Pro and it’s awesome. That controller is great and living in Buffalo with cold weather it’s rock steady.
yes I have it too in Colorado, I wouldn't fault any of them
Coyote- Make sure you are 100% certain you want the one you order, they have a no return policy once you break the packing strapping. If you buy it online
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Corbin.
My pleasure!
Nice review 🔥
Appreciate it
Nice video as usual. Have you reviewed Yoder 1500 competition ?
Thank you! We have not yet reviewed Yonder
I have coyote pellet grill .Great heat retention during the Chicago winter. It has very low pellet consumption rate. I've smoked my brisket for 14.5 hrs at 225 F. I could also sear my steak in 3 minutes.

Does it really get up to 700 degrees, how do you find it really sears. Seems like a really compelling alternative to a nice SS gas grill to get smoking and regular grill searing.
You recommend it?
How long does it take to get to the 700*F searing temp in a Chicago winter? Does it take a long time or can you get it up to temp pretty quickly?
I live in Chicago, my coyote will be delivered today!
This is great news to hear, the fuel consumption is low during our crazy winters.
After reviewing this video I did not favor any of them , that being said I did go with the
Green Mountain Daniel Boone Prime.
And here’s why :
• DC direct power controlled
• Temp range 150-550 deg
• PID controller is one of the best
on the market
• Little to no heat fluctuations
+\- 3-4 deg
• WiFi
• Dual meat probes
• 13 gage metal
• Ash clean out system
• internal lighting with view
window
• viewing window on hopper
• 458 sq in cooking area
• 3 yr warranty 5 yr support
• Optional Accessories :
• 900 deg pizza oven attachment
• Rotisserie attachment
So overall this is in my opinion the better smoker.
Price point $799
I do drive a Porsche not a BMW
Thanks for the feedback!! and thanks for watching
Nice Jay's
thanks
Great comparison. That Coyote really catches my eye. Have been dreaming about grills for my house that's under construction (probably a ways out before I can swing a grill, but man have I missed grilling) and naturally fell in love with the Hestan. Though not sure I'll quite have that budget so have been zeroing in on the Coyote S gas grill being drawn to the heavy duty all 304 construction and those beefy burners. Though I saw this and it instantly caught my eye (the LCD especially being a tech person I'll admit). It really seems like this might be a great smoker & grill combo since it allegedly gets up to 700 degrees? I mean on the BBQ guys review of the Coyote S it got to about 670ish temperature with the burners set to high at 15 minutes so this seems comparable. Though it seems the biggest tradeoff between a premium gas grill vs this is the infrared burner (and the briquette trays potentially, though torn on those personally) vs this offering smoking. Curious on your thoughts of something like this Coyote could really satisfy the all in one grill & smoker combo or if I'd really miss the infrared burner on the gas grills?
Thanks for watching! Yeah Hestan is great if you have the funds but you will not be going wrong with the Coyote! Great Grill!
I’m talking about the Memphis Pro and Elite series.
thanks for the feedback

Memphis has a new pro model I would do, its 304 stainless steel, and will sear the best
Cmon my man when are you getting that Dimplex XL bold to unbox😉
As soon as Dimplex sends it. They told me another month!
How about the Yoder pellet smoker and also lonestargrillz pellet smoker
we don't have any
Trevor you can reverse the pellet lid so it opens the other way. This will make it much easier to load the pellets and you won’t have to clean so many pellets off your floor. Your welcome in advance. Lol
Good tip!
Will this actually work?
I’m surprised you didn’t include Yoder or Pitts N Spitts in your review.
We are working on getting our hands on them
Clearly you forgot the most amazing premium smoker, the Weber Smokefire...🤣😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒🚒
hahahahaha your hilarious
It's really too bad the Coyote pellet grill hasn't gotten on board with wifi controls like the most of the pellet smokers. It's nice to be able to monitor and adjust from inside the house.
I know!
How well does the Coyote smoke? Does the heat get low enough?
yeah I think it does
what's your opinion on the Twin Eagle Pellet grill.
They won’t let me review it! I gotta buy one soon!
@@embersliving Damn, really. Love your videos. I have a camp chef, my first entry to pellet grill. I was a gas grill user for years. My friend avoided gas grill year ago and went from charcoal to pellets. Now I know why.
What is all that flashing about under the Elite grill?
The ash pans are under there
Fireplace store... There is a burning fireplace right behind the elite your seeing it reflect off that floor
Yeah, the Memphis is an awesome grill. If you don't mind the fact that the WiFi doesn't work on your $5000+ grill, grease fires happen if you don't clean out the grill after pretty much every cook, (and frequently even if you do) the lid is cheap feeling crap, the temperature is prone to wild swings, the pellet feeder loads up the drop ramp all the time (be prepared to lose a few $60+ briskets to flame outs in the middle of the night).
