Who is Memphis Grills?
Memphis Grills is the Chaska, Minnesota pellet grill brand that pushes the category higher-end: temperature range from 180F cold-smoke all the way to 700F direct-fire searing (most pellet grills top out at 450F), with the Memphis app letting you control the pit from your phone.
Three series: Beale Street (entry $2,900+), Pro ITC3 (mid-tier WiFi-connected, $4,500+), and Elite ITC3 (top-tier, $7,000+). All built on a double-walled stainless firebox with a competition-grade PID controller.
At a glance
What Memphis Grills prioritizes
180-700F temperature range
Cold-smoke a brisket at 180F, pizza-oven-sear a steak at 700F — same grill. Industry's widest pellet-grill temperature range.
Direct-flame searing
Flame deflector slides out of the way for direct-flame contact with the grates. Not a convection-only pellet grill.
Full app + WiFi control
iPhone + Android app. Set-and-forget cooks with meat-probe alerts to your phone.

When Memphis Grills is the wrong choice
Memphis Grills isn't the right fit for every buyer. If your budget is below the entry tier, or your install is temporary, or you're sourcing a single piece without the matching outdoor-kitchen ecosystem, ask us for a side-by-side with alternatives we also carry — getting the brand match right matters more than any single feature on the spec sheet.

Memphis Grills — the questions buyers actually ask
How is a Memphis different from a Pit Boss or Traeger?
Memphis sits at the top of the pellet-grill market — stainless construction, direct-flame searing, 700F max temp, cellular app control. Pit Boss and Traeger are the mass-market tier ($500-1,500). Memphis is the $3-10K premium step up for serious cooks who want pizza-oven searing + competition-grade PID control.
Which Memphis model should I start with?
Beale Street at $2,900 is the entry — same cook performance as Pro ITC3, minus the premium WiFi + stainless cart. Pro ITC3 at $4,500 is the volume pick: full WiFi, app control, 304 stainless. Elite ITC3 at $7,000+ is for competition / restaurant use.
Does Memphis sear like a gas grill?
Yes — the direct-flame mode (slide the flame deflector out) gives you 650-700F direct-flame searing on the grates. True hard-sear in 90 seconds per side on a NY strip. Most pellet grills can't do this.
