Replacement parts for the Chimp can be purchased online.

Yes! Simply crank up your heat to 450° towards the end of your cook. For those extremely defined grill marks, we also offer custom Grill Grates customized specifically for the Chimp.

Before you get to smoking, it's important to season your smoker. This process will remove any manufacturing oils left on the grill. Run your grill for 45 minutes at 450°, then you are ready to either shut it off, or start smoking. Refer to the manual or this video for additional instructions.

Nope! Any food grade wood pellet will work in these units. That being said, we do recommend using quality hardwood pellet fuel, as opposed to alder wood (which tends to burn a lot faster). We provide plenty of information on how to find and use wood pellets in our blog.

At an average cooking temperature of 250°, pellets burn at about a pound an hour. Overall a hopper holds 15 lbs of pellets and will cook for around 10–15 hours.

You don't need a giant manual or to be a mechanical engineer to assemble our grills. With just a few screws to install, you'll be up and running in 15 minutes.

You bet! Our pellet grills come standard with a double wall Internal Steel Thermal Jacket. This heavy-duty design features a double wall liner for more efficient cooking when the temperature drops below 55° F—up to 33% more efficient than single wall pellet smokers. That means you're going to burn less fuel in cold weather, you don't need thermal blankets, and you have a full range of operating temperatures in any climate.

The best wood pellet grill should have an excellent range of features and a reasonable price. The Silverbac, Grilla, and Chimp offer an unmatched level of construction and technology at a price point that won’t break the bank. From stainless steel construction (where it counts) to the game-changing WiFi-enabled Alpha Connect controller, you won’t find a better pellet grill for the price.

Choosing to cook foods on a wood pellet grill will generally provide a lower-calorie, lower-fat option than pan frying or deep frying that same food.

Pellet grills use electricity to power an auger and fan system. Pellets travel from the hopper into a firepot where an igniter rod starts the flame; the fan circulates heat and smoke for convection cooking. Your Alpha Connect controller automates the process so you can focus on the food.
