Do I really need WiFi on a pellet grill?

For long low-and-slow cooks, WiFi/app control is genuinely useful for monitoring temps and meat probes without standing next to the grill. Across the reviewers we read, WiFi-enabled models from Traeger and recteq drew strong praise for app reliability, while some Z Grills owners on r/pelletgrills reported persistent connection problems on older units. If you mostly grill burgers, you can skip it.
