Nexgrill Pellet Smokers.
The Oakford Range, From $1,050.

Three real differences. The 875 Pro has a larger 14.55 kg pellet hopper (versus 10 kg on the 715), a higher maximum temperature of 287°C (versus 260°C on the 715), and more cooking area at 5,795 sq cm (versus 4,760 sq cm on the 715). The 875 Pro is also 16 cm wider in footprint.

For most buyers, the hopper and maximum temperature are the upgrades that change how you cook. The 287°C top end is what makes high-heat searing genuinely usable on the Pro models, and the larger hopper means a full brisket cook without refilling pellets mid-cook.

Worth it only if you genuinely need the extra cooking area. The 1125 Pro and 875 Pro share the same 14.55 kg hopper and the same 287°C maximum temperature. The only meaningful difference is the cooking surface: 7,445 sq cm on the 1125 Pro versus 5,795 sq cm on the 875 Pro, which is roughly 28% more grate space.

If you regularly cook for 10 to 15 people, run multiple proteins simultaneously, or do competition-style cooks where space matters, the 1125 Pro pays off. If you cook for 6 to 10 most weekends, the 875 Pro is the genuine value pick.

Width is the constraint to plan around. The 715 needs 115.5 cm, the 875 Pro needs 131.6 cm, and the 1125 Pro needs 149.9 cm of clear wall space. All three Oakford models are roughly 77 cm deep and 124 to 128 cm tall.

Add at least 30 cm of clearance behind the smoker for venting, and clear space either side for lid opening and hopper access. If your alfresco area is tight, send us a photo or measurements and we will confirm the right size before you commit.

For Sydney metro orders, the standard install takes around 60 to 90 minutes on site. We unbox, assemble, position in your nominated spot, pair the cooker to your home WiFi, and walk you through the controller before we leave.

Delivery scheduling depends on current order volume but most Sydney metro deliveries can be arranged within 5 to 10 business days of order. Call us on 0434 010 411 to confirm timing for your suburb.

Yes, a brisket fits on the Oakford 715. The 70 x 45 cm main cooking surface comfortably handles a standard 5 to 6 kg packer brisket. Smaller home-cook briskets (3 to 4 kg) fit with plenty of room to spare.

The trade-off on the 715 is the 10 kg hopper. A 14-hour brisket cook at 110°C will use roughly 8 to 9 kg of pellets, which means you may need to top up the hopper once mid-cook. The Pro models with the 14.55 kg hopper can run an overnight brisket without intervention.

The Oakford 875 Pro and 1125 Pro both reach 287°C, which is enough for genuine high-heat searing of steaks, chops, and high-heat grilling of chicken, vegetables, and pizza. The 715 tops out at 260°C, which is still enough for most high-heat cooking but stops short of full searing performance.

This is one of the genuine advantages of a pellet smoker. You can run low and slow at 110°C in the morning for ribs, then ramp up to 287°C in the evening for a sear, on the same cooker.

A standard 2.4 GHz home WiFi connection that reaches your outdoor cooking area. The Nexgrill app is available for iOS and Android and pairs to the cooker via WiFi for temperature setting, cook monitoring, and done-temperature alerts.

If your home WiFi signal does not reach the alfresco or backyard reliably, the cooker still works perfectly via the onboard controller. The WiFi is a convenience, not a dependency. We pair the cooker to your home network as part of the standard install.

Full manufacturer warranty backed by Nexgrill Australia, plus our authorised dealer support. We handle the warranty claim on your behalf if anything fails within the warranty period, which means you deal with one phone call rather than navigating a manufacturer process directly.

Warranty cover only applies when the smoker is bought from an authorised Nexgrill dealer. Aftermarket sellers, grey-import retailers, and used unit resellers cannot offer this protection. BBQ Republic is an authorised Nexgrill dealer for Australia.
