Yes, a pellet grill can replace a gas grill. However, depending on the specific capabilities of the pellet grill you're considering, you might want to hold onto your gas grill for fast high temperature grilling/searing.

If your gas grill is in good condition and you have the space, I would encourage you to consider a vertical pellet smoker over a horizontal pellet grill/smoker. You'll get more cooking area for the money and your gas grill can take care of the grilling/searing side of BBQ.

If you're worried about a pellet grill not matching the capabilities of your gas grill, then consider a pellet gas/combo grill that can use both types of fuel.

However, there are now many dedicated pellet grills that can achieve the same high temperatures as a gas grill with an equivalent warm-up time.

You can use the link below to our database to sort pellet grills within your budget based on their maximum temperature setting for instance if you're looking to replace your gas grill with a pellet grill that is just as capable but can also be used as a smoker.
