Summary

Its tempting to re-evaluate your outdoor cooking setup when grilling season rolls around each year.

I thought I would fall in love with theCurrent Model G Dual Zone Grillwith its convenient electric power.

In the end, it performed okay, but I wasnt blown away like I was expecting to be.

Whats the Current Model G and How Does It Work?

This is what initially attracted me to it.

Using electricity should be much simpler than keeping wood pellets around, monitoring propane, or cleaning up charcoal.

The Current app (available foriPhoneandAndroid) worked fine but could use a lot of polish.

The biggest hindrance it posed on iPhone was needing to enter each time I used it.

Thankfully, it didnt force me to re-pair the grill through Bluetooth each time.

That would have been a dealbreaker.

The app lacked substance too, with few recipes and discovery items.

Still, I liked being able to control the dual zones with my phone, either locally or remotely.

Im Not Trading In My Pellet Smoker Just Yet

I cooked the basics on the grill.

Burgers and steaks were covered right away.

I also tried bacon right on the grates, which worked surprisingly well.

Maybe I needed a longer adjustment period, but I never felt that here.

After blowing a fuse I can verify it was a worthy warning.

So, in turn, this is my warning to you.

Is the Current Model G Dual Zone Grill Worth Spending Money On?

I used it; it worked as advertised.

I had no problem with the essentials, like its 12-foot cord length or it holding its temperature.

My default outdoor cooking choice has been to throw nearly everything into a wood pellet smoker.

This electric grill wasnt able to change that.
