Memphis Grills Pro Pellet Grill ITC3 Review – Is This the Premium Grill of Your Dreams?

Full disclosure, I’m generally a fan of anything by Memphis Grills, and that goes for the Memphis Pro ITC3 Pellet Grill, as well.

With that said, I’m still going to give my honest review, positives and negatives as well.

For a grill to classify as worthwhile to me, it needs to be built with quality materials to start with. It also needs to be convenient, powerful, and versatile.

I don’t want something that limits my cooking options or that can only cook small meals at a time. Sure, a few sausages are all you want every once in a while, but who wants to waste money on a BBQ that doesn’t do justice to anything but dogs and burgers?

Anyway, the point is that Memphis Grills ticks all those points. This isn’t going to be an ingratiating Memphis Pro grill review, but the fact is that people in the know rarely have anything negative to say about this model, or any other Memphis grills, to be honest.

The Memphis Pro offers myriad temperature control methods, the ease of Wi-Fi connectivity, and the ability to burn for up to 62 hours, not to mention a whole host of other features. There are a ton of different ways you can cook on this model as well.

I’m sold. Let’s see if we can get you there, too.

After cooking on the Memphis Grills Pro for the last few months, and doing many, many hours of research I can confidently say that everything about this grill screams premium level.

Read on to find out what I liked about this pellet grill, and if it’s worth the price.

Spoiler Alert: The Memphis Grills Pro just may be the premium grill of your dreams.

Standout Benefits of the Memphis Pro ITC3 Pellet Grill

Control the Grill From Anywhere | No Need to Worry About Refilling the Hopper | Easily Create the Perfect Smoke Flavor Profile | So Many Ways to Cook and Experiment

The benefits of the Memphis Pro pellet smoker are nearly too many to list, so let’s focus on convenience first.

The Pro has it in spades.

Some of the more noticeable benefits are…

Control the Grill From Anywhere, Even While Watching the Big Game

Anytime you can control an appliance or gadget via your phone or tablet, you should jump on the opportunity.

Upon purchase, you can download the Memphis Mobile app, which is free on Android and iOS devices

It allows you to access the grill’s technologically advanced temperature control system, aptly called the Intelligent Temperature Control from any connected WiFi-enabled device.

That’s all you need to control the grill from anywhere.

Because the app sends text messages or emails to update you on the cooking temperature of your food, you can adjust it even if you’re inside chopping onions.

Not Having to Worry About Refilling the Hopper Half Way Through

I generally don’t have any use for a pellet smoker that can’t handle a long, low, and slow cook without having to replenish the hopper mid-way through.

The Memphis Grill Pro doesn’t disappoint there.

Its hopper can hold 18 pounds of pellets, but here’s the thing: it’s a dual hopper. Each side holds nine pounds of pellets, making it simpler to know how much you need to use.

It takes those 18 pounds up to 62 hours to burn, although that depends on your temperature settings.

That’s long, low, and slow for almost three days.  You can consistently smoke for two days, no problem.

Easily Create the Perfect Smoke Flavor Profile for Every Meal

That dual hopper has another benefit: versatility.

Since you have two separate sections, you’re under no obligation to use the same pellets on both sides.

What’s the fun in that?

Instead, you have the chance to experiment with flavored pellets.

Want a hint of hickory smoke? No problem. Want to mix a woody flavor with a fruity note?  You can do that.

Let us know the results of your concoctions, though.

So Many Ways to Cook and Experiment on This Grill

One of the biggest advantages of the Memphis Pro model is the versatile temperature range that allows you to smoke at low temperatures, or truly sear your food directly over an open flame.

In between those two extremes, go ahead and roast, braise, bake, grill, or BBQ your meat to your heart’s content.

This is one versatile cooker.

Memphis Pellet Grill Description & Features

Memphis Pro at a Glance | Temperature Control | Even Distribution of Heat | True Searing Ability | Integrated Food Probe | Available in Built In Model as Well

The Memphis Pro Pellet Grill is a freestanding grill that looks, for lack of a better term, sleek AF.

It resembles something out of science fiction when the side wings are upraised.

Four casters ensure effortless mobility, which is more important than you might think. You want to be able to move a freestanding grill wherever you please, within reason.

The beautiful exterior is nothing compared to what this grill is capable of when you get cooking, though.

Temperature Control

We’ve already discussed this, but it’s worth mentioning again.

The more control you have over your temperature, the better, particularly when you’re dealing with a grill that doubles as a smoker.

Here’s what I haven’t told you about the Intelligence Temperature Control yet: when the grill, or your food (if you’re using the probe) reaches the temperature you want, the Pro ITC3 automatically turns down the temperature to warming levels to keep your food from overcooking.

Now that’s some smart technology folks.

Available in a Built-in Model as Well

One of the truly unique aspects of the Pro is that it is available as a built-in model as well.

Imagine, now having the option to add a pellet smoker to your outdoor kitchen design.

Tempting.

Using the Memphis Pro Pellet Smoker

Most Memphis wood fire grills are so simple to use that even your kid could do it.

Don’t let a kid do it unattended, of course, but theoretically, it would be fine. Operating the grill is just that easy—that’s the point I’m trying to make.

Fill up the hopper with the pellets of your choice, then set the temperature using the Intelligence Temperature Control that’s mounted to the front of the grill. Yep, you can also access it on the grill or through the app.

Let’s take a second to talk about the temperature. You can set it anywhere between 180 degrees Fahrenheit and 650 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s an impressive range, particularly on the upper end as most pellet grills max out at 500 degrees Fahrenheit or less.

Now, once you set the temperature, the pellets feed down into the grill’s burn pot automatically. You can insert the temperature probe that’s included with the grill, but you don’t have to use it.

On that subject, however, the ITC3 can accommodate two more probes, but you’re on the hook for purchasing the extra two.

Who Was the Memphis Grill Pro Made For?

Do you love that woody, smoky, rich flavor that you get with a wood-fired grill but don’t want the hassle and cleanup?

Then the Memphis Pro Pellet Grill is for you.

Do you prefer grilling above all else?

Then it’s worth the investment.

Do you spend just as much time smoking as you do grilling?  Then ditto.

Memphis grills are so easy to use and offer some of the best cooking performance of any pellet grill on the market today.

Whether you are a master griller or a casual weekend warrior, this grill can get the job done and then some.

Why You Should Think Twice

There are always some warnings to point out when reviewing grills, but in all honesty, the only real downside here is if you are wary of spending four figures on a grill.

Seriously, if the price tag gives you a heart attack, you’re not ready.

Get something smaller and less expensive first and continue to dream about a Memphis until you can make it work.

That being said, Memphis Grills probably has your back at a price point that makes you comfortable.

Memphis Grill Pro Prices & Warranties

I have seen the Memphis Pro priced between $4,000 and $4,499. It was the latter at the time of this writing.

As for the warranty, after the date of purchase, you’re protected against any material or workmanship defects for seven years. The electrical and electronic parts are covered for three years. Neither warranty includes the grill cover gaskets, burn pot, or corrosion. The meat probe is protected for 30 days after purchase.
