Good grill, but a few quirks

The 918 sq. inches of cooking surface is fantastic for big family gatherings, and the digital control is super precise. However, the cold smoker feature is a bit finicky to get just right, and it took some trial and error to really dial in the smoke levels for things like cheese.

Derek T.★★★★★December 27, 2025
Best pellet grill I've owned!

This Sunstone grill is an absolute beast! The construction is top-notch, clearly built to last in my outdoor kitchen. I've smoked everything from briskets to salmon, and the results are consistently amazing, thanks to that precise digital control.

Bill T.★★★☆☆August 25, 2010
Solid performance, but pricey

It cooks food really well, and the large cooking surface is definitely a plus for entertaining. My only real gripe is the price; it feels a bit steep even for the quality, especially when comparing it to other high-end pellet grills on the market.

Linda C.★★★★★February 21, 2024
Transformed my outdoor cooking!

As a serious BBQ enthusiast, I can confidently say this Sunstone pellet grill is a game-changer. The cold smoker attachment is brilliant for making my own bacon and jerky, and the digital controls make temperature management effortless. It's truly a precision instrument for outdoor culinary adventures.

Jenna M.★★★★☆April 14, 2009
Great for big cooks

This grill handles large quantities of food with ease, which is perfect for our backyard parties. The build quality is excellent, and it integrates seamlessly into my existing outdoor kitchen setup. I just wish the initial setup instructions were a little clearer for the cold smoker part.

Questions & answers

5 questions answered

Q
I'm planning a new outdoor kitchen. How difficult is it to install the Sunstone® 40” Electric Pellet Grill w/Cold Smoker, especially with the cold smoker attachment?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Installing the Sunstone® 40” Electric Pellet Grill is straightforward for a built-in unit, though it does require a dedicated 120V outlet. The cold smoker is integrated, so there aren't separate complex attachments to worry about. We recommend ensuring proper ventilation for any built-in grill, and having a second person for lifting due to its size and weight.

Q
Can this pellet grill really achieve a true cold smoke, or is it more of a low-temperature hot smoke? I'm looking to smoke cheese and fish without cooking it.Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Yes, the Sunstone® 40” Electric Pellet Grill with Cold Smoker is specifically designed to achieve true cold smoking temperatures, often below 90°F. This allows you to smoke delicate items like cheese, nuts, and fish without cooking them, imparting that deep smoky flavor. It utilizes a separate element or fan system to generate smoke without significant heat, distinguishing it from standard low-temp hot smoking.

Cleaning the Sunstone® 40” Electric Pellet Grill is relatively simple. For the main cooking grates, use a stainless steel brush after each use.
