We have a Trager pellet grill that is one of our best purchases ever. It was expensive, it is effectively a wood-fired oven. It can do anything from 180 for low-temp long smoking to 475 for baking pizzas.

We've got it sitting on the concrete patio under the upper deck. We've got a cover for it for the winter, but we've used it often enough in the snow that we've not used it.

Instead of using wood, it uses pellets made of compressed sawdust. I've got 3 bags in the back of the car right now, two of hickory & one of apple. It has an electric igniter and powered auger that take the pellets into a fire box. The temperature setting determines how fast the auger moves pellets in to fuel the fire.

There is another company that makes pellet grills that is a little bit cheaper than Traeger. I think they are called Green Mountain.

Another option would be Big Green Egg. They are big ceramic grills that use charcoal. They can get up to 800 to sear a steak or pork chop. Downside: they are extremely expensive. They also extremely durable.
