If you're sick of constant grill-watching and inconsistent results, perhaps it's time to outsource some of the effort, and enlist the help of a smart
BBQ. There's a new wave of smart outdoor grills that enable you to control temperatures and check in on timings from the comfort of your picnic table, minimizing the amount of time spent away from your guests and Aperol spritz, in a cloud of smoke. If you're hosting a Memorial Day gathering, now could be an especially good time to invest.

Below, I've rounded up the options worth considering, at a range of price points. For casual BBQers on a tighter budget, the Woodfire Premium XL is a top choice we gave it a perfect five stars in our review , with our tester shouting out the "delicious smoky flavors, convenient smart cooking features, and fantastic ease of use". Alternatively, there's the Weber Connect
Performer Smart Charcoal grill , which comes with a remote that controls a digital fan, to regulate the temperature inside the BBQ. If you want even
more intelligent control, consider the Brisk It range of grills. This smart grill's companion app can be used to adjust temperatures or even ignite the BBQ in the first place, plus the app has an AI assistant called Vera who can advise you on how to cook different cuts of meat or suggest recipes based on what you have in the fridge.
