Move over, gas and charcoal. The latest innovation in smart technology is making itself at home right on your back porch. Current Backyard, a company driven to revolutionize outdoor living, is upgrading what you thought you knew about grilling and promises to take culinary inspiration to the next level.
Its industry-first, game-changing outdoor grill meets all our expectations as a state-of-the-art, smart home system. Let it be known that this is a very cool grill. "Current Backyard is revolutionizing grilling by empowering everyone to cook outside and create delicious meals, regardless of experience," shared Current Backyard's General Manager Stacie Pacheco. "In the near future, our app will leverage AI integration to personalize the grilling experience for each user. By monitoring and learning a user's cooking preferences for different proteins, we will be able to simplify the cooking steps while still delivering amazing results that meet their unique taste expectations. This is just a glimpse of what AI technology will allow us to achieve, making grilling an enjoyable, elevated and accessible experience for everyone." Recognized as a CES Smart Home Honoree, this backyard appliance is one that all smart home enthusiasts and outdoor entertainers will enjoy.
Equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity, it can be controlled remotely through a dedicated app, giving you the freedom to monitor and adjust cooking settings from your smartphone or tablet. Designed with dual-zone capabilities, it allows for precise temperature control. Whether you're grilling steaks to perfection or preparing breakfast on its griddle, it's making waves as a strong competitor to all charcoal and gas grills in the category. Additionally, the app provides real-time notifications and updates, helping you manage your cooking experience with ease and precision.
But wait, there's more! The product also includes a tray that can be used for water (to create water vapor while cooking), or for wood chips and pellets to infuse added flavor. While it may not be a direct replacement for your pellet grill or backyard smoker, it's an energy-efficient, cutting-edge system that not only solves for your gas grill's inconsistent temperature but delivers a perfect sear at your command.
The griddle is priced at $799, and the grill is priced at $899. No, you can't get a grill with an interchangeable griddle, but the company cites that it's a popular request that they're hoping to engineer in the future.
