The Deck Boss 900 gives you 956 square inches of cooking space, which recteq puts at six racks of ribs, 90 wings or 45 burgers, so a Tuesday dinner and a Saturday backyard party both fit on the same grill.

The PID controller holds the temperature steady from 180°F for a long smoke up to 700°F for a proper sear. Dual-band Wi-Fi connects it to the recteq app, so you can set the temperature and keep an eye on the cook from inside. The 18 lb hopper covers most cooks without a refill.

It’s built like the rest of the line. The firepot and drip pan are 304 stainless steel with a cast iron heat deflector, the cooking chamber and polished bullhorn handles are stainless, and the lid is powder coated. The HotFlash ceramic igniter is rated for more than 100,000 lights.
