The Grilla OG Alpha Connect wood pellet smoker is part of Grilla Grills newest lineup of WiFi enabled pellet grills. Our brand new industry defining Alpha Connect technology gives you the ability to control your grill from anywhere. The controller takes all of the smart smoking technology from our Alpha Smoke control board and combines it with all of the modern day wireless features you’ve been asking for!

The Grilla's EvenTemp Chamber produces a consistent heat and smoke level in the cooking chamber for long, low-temp cooks. The convertible, two-tiered stainless-steel cooking surface and convenient new features from the Alpha Connect controller make this one of the most unique pellet smokers on the market. The Grilla is also easy to move with its EZ glide wheels, while the powder-coat finish, and stainless-steel internal components are built to last.

Grilla Alpha Connect Features

New Wireless Alpha Connect Control Board

The Grilla Alpha Connect offers you more control than ever before, wherever you go with it’s new WiFi enabled control board!

• Start or stop your grill from anywhere you have a wireless connection
• Monitor temperatures, set probe and grill temperature alarms
• Utilize our new TempTamer technology
• Get troubleshooting help for when your grill has a hiccup

If you’ve used a Grilla before, you know it has our exclusive Pro Smoke mode, as well as a PID option. We made sure to build both of those right into the new controller so you still get the same performance you’ve grown to love. Our Pro mode maximize smoke throughout your cook by slightly increasing the temperature variance of the grill. While the PID mode lets you stick closely to your desired temperature.

Form and Function

The Grilla’s unique shape isn’t just for looks. The round shape eliminates hot and cold corners while the swinging lid allows you to keep heat in when you check on your food. On top of that, it’s also a lot easier to use than other grill lids as you can leave it partially open with zero effort, letting you work with both hands.

The Grilla Alpha Connect lets you adjust temperatures between 180 and 500 degrees. The digital control panel and included meat probe let you monitor the temperature of your meat as well as your grill, from the control board or your connected phone. On top of all these features, the burnpot, grill grates and heat deflector are all built to last, made of durable stainless steel.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I get replacement parts for the Grilla?
  Replacement parts for the Grilla can be purchased here.

• Can I sear with the Grilla?
  Yes! Simply crank up your heat to 450° towards the end of you cook. For those extremely defined grill marks, we also offer custom Grill Grates customized specifically for the Grill.

• How do I season my Grilla?
  Before you get to smoking, it’s important to season your Grilla. This process will remove any manufacturing oils left on the grill. Run your grill for 45 minutes at 450°, then you can either shut it off, or start smoking. Refer to the manual or this video for additional instructions.

• Do I have to buy a specific brand of pellets to use with the Grilla?
  Nope! Any food grade wood pellet will work in these units. That being said, we do recommend using quality hardwood fuel as opposed to alder wood (which tends to burn a lot faster).

• Are there different cook times for items on the rack extension?
  Different cook times are not needed. One of the awesome features of these grills is that they are built for convection-style cooking. This means heat is evenly dispersed throughout the grill, so all of your food will receive the same amount of heat, thus, no need to extend cook times.

• How long does it take the Grilla to heat up to temperature?
  About 15 minutes. Once you turn the power on, you have plenty of time to head back inside and prep your food, by the time you return, your grill should be just about at the temperature that you set.

• How many cooks can I get with a full hopper?
  At an average cooking temperature of 250°, pellets burn at about a pound an hour. Overall a hopper holds 20 lbs. of pellets and will cook for 10-20 hours.
• Will the Grilla maintain cooking temperatures in cold weather?
  You bet! The Silverbac, Grilla and Chimp are all equipped with a double wall Internal Steel Thermal Jacket. This heavy-duty design features a double wall 14 gauge steel liner for more efficient cooking when the temperature drops below 55° F: up to 33% more efficient than single wall pellet smokers (which most are by the way). 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. No more messy smoky blanket storage because you’ve got the all season performance of grills that cost twice as much.
• What’s the best wood pellet grill?
  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.
• Are wood pellet grills healthy?
  This is a deeper question than it might appear at first, but on one level, choosing to cook foods on a wood pellet grill will generally provide a lower calorie, lower fat option than say pan frying or deep frying that same food.
• How do wood pellet grills work?
  Pellet grills work off of electricity, so they need an outlet to supply their power. That electricity allows the grill to move pellets into the hopper and funnel them down to a firepot using a rotating auger and motor. Once the pellets hit the firepot an igniter rod sparks a flame and smoke is produced. The electricity powers a fan that blows that smoke and heat upwards which then provides smoky, convection cooking throughout the grill. All of this is taken care of by your Alpha Connect controller, so you don’t have to worry about anything but eating!
