The Brisk It Argo-640 blends wood-fired flavor with smart tech for a reliable, hands-off cooking experience.
One of my favorite memories as a kid was watching my dad grill. We had a simple charcoal grill, and timing was everything when it came to grilling burgers and steaks. Since then, I’ve learned my own techniques, and my favorite grilling method is using wood pellets. There are certain aspects of the grilling process that I’m not a fan of, and that’s the guesswork. You have to guess when the grill is at the optimum temperature. You have to guess when the best time to put your food on is. You have to guess that your food is cooked all the way. Well, Brisk It has taken the guesswork out of grilling with the Argo-640 A.I. Powered Grill.

Assembly
The grill comes unassembled in a large box. Ours was delivered on a wood pallet and because of its physical size, the grill is a little awkward to move. If you have it delivered like we did plan on having the delivery person drop it close to where you want to assemble it. The grill comes in several pieces but the biggest part is the body, which required very little assembly.
The first step after unboxing everything was to install the Material Box and its handle. This was a simple step. Once a few screws were tightened, I moved on to the next step. Next, the manual instructs you to attach the wheels to the legs, and then you move on to connecting the legs to the body. This is where things got a little tricky. First, the screw holes didn’t exactly line up between the leg and the body. Plus, since the legs are at an angle, there is one screw on each leg that is particularly difficult to tighten since it butts up against another part of the grill.
In addition to the lack of clearance when screwing the legs in, the leg brace is impossible to put on the way you are instructed to do it. The manual directs the user to attach all four legs and then add the brace. I ended up having to remove one of the legs to attach the brace because it wouldn’t slide into place with the leg already attached to the grill body. After the legs are fully installed with the leg braces, you install the storage shelf. This is another place where I ran into some difficulty. I ended up having to loosen all the legs in order to accommodate the storage shelf.
The last components to be installed were the right side shelf, chimney, lid handle, oil collection drum, WiFi antenna, and the interior parts. All of those were easily placed without any confusion from the instructions in the manual. The final part of the setup process is to connect your grill to WiFi. I didn’t have any issues with this, although it has turned up as ‘offline’ a few times, even though it still receives commands from my phone.
Cooking Experience
Since I’m an experienced griller, I got right to cooking without using AI (at first). I primed the auger and completed the seasoning step recommended by the manual. Then, I set the temperature to 350º and put a steak, burgers, and hot dogs on the grill. I cooked the hot dogs to the outside of the grill so that they cooked a bit slower than the other pieces of meat. I flipped the steak and burger once each and just let them cook for a bit. When I removed them from the heat, I let the steak rest and put the burger and hot dogs on their respective buns. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The smoke flavor from the wood pellets was evenly dispersed and added a rich flavor to the meat. The ceramic-coated grill plates have been easy to clean. I usually let the grill warm up (not get hot) and brush it off with a grill brush.
Smart Features
I love that the Brisk It Argo-640 is connected to WiFi, making the entire grilling process more convenient and hands-off. Being able to monitor the grill’s operation right from my phone has truly changed the way I cook outdoors. The connection has been consistently fast and reliable. Each time I’ve used the app, it connects to the grill without any hiccups or delays. I’ve never had to worry about dropped signals or re-pairing the device, which is a huge plus.
One of my favorite features is the ability to ignite the grill remotely while I’m still inside prepping food in the kitchen. It saves time and simplifies the cooking flow, I can get the grill up to temperature while I’m marinating meat, chopping veggies, or finishing side dishes. By the time I’m ready to step outside, the grill is already preheated and ready to go. This kind of smart connectivity makes the experience feel truly modern and efficient, and it’s one of the standout features that makes the Argo-640 so enjoyable to use.
Brisk It has the distinction of being among the first companies to introduce an AI-powered grill (in 2023). The Argo-640 comes equipped with Vera Cooking A.I., which is can be connected to through the app. Now, before I discuss how you can use Vera, I want to say that I think Brisk It could make it easier to find in the app. Instead of making Vera its own selection on the home screen, you first have to go to your grill and then select Vera A.I. from the grill’s settings. I was very excited to use the feature, but I had trouble finding it at first.
So, how does it work? Brisk It has a detailed explanation on their website, but think of it as ChatGPT but specifically for cooking. You can ask it anything about your food preparation, and it will provide a suggested recipe to use. The best part is that if you accept the recipe, you can send it to the grill for cooking. To test this function out, I provided the following prompt:
I want to cook a NY Strip Steak 14 ounces to medium well.
Vera A.I.’s response was:
NY Strip Steak – Medium Well
This program will guide you through cooking a 14-ounce NY strip steak to medium well on your wood pellet grill.
Prep Steps:
Step 1. Prepare the Steak
Season the steak with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Ingredients Needed
14 oz NY strip steak Salt PepperCooking Steps:
Step 1. Grill the Steak
Grill Temp 400°F Internal Temp 150°F Cook Time 00h:15mPlace the steak on the grill and cook until it reaches the desired internal temperature, flipping halfway through.
Step 2. Rest the Steak
Grill Temp n/a Internal Temp n/a Cook Time 00h:05mRemove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
This very simple recipe is invaluable, especially for someone just getting started with grilling. I can’t tell you how many times I Google what the internal temp of a specific type of meat should be or how long it should cook. Like I said, this tool takes the guesswork out of grilling. You can also set up your own recipes without Vera, and the grill will still intelligently cook them.
How does it compare?
My previous grill was a two-sided grill. One side was powered by propane, while the other side was a wood pellet smoker. It’s still in great shape, but I really love the added smart features of the Argo-640. The older grill is not app-connected and certainly doesn’t have the A.I. assistant. I do feel like the Argo-640 provides a more even cook than my previous grill.
Additional Thoughts
I think that Brisk It should review their assembly instructions to ensure they are accurate. Since I had a couple of starts and stops, I’m sure others are, too. In addition to that, I think the website is a little clunky. I referred to it a couple of times when I was looking up information about this unit, and navigation was a little less than intuitive. Also, I wanted to find a digital version of the manual, and the only one that is included on the website is for the Origin-580.
Conclusion
The Brisk It Argo-640 A.I. Powered Grill is the next evolution in the world of outdoor cooking. It marries traditional wood pellet grilling with modern smart features like WiFi connectivity and A.I.-driven cooking guidance, eliminating much of the guesswork that typically accompanies backyard BBQs. Whether you’re a seasoned pitmaster or just getting started, this grill simplifies the experience without compromising flavor.
The real-time app control and Vera A.I. assistant give you the power to grill with confidence, while the ceramic-coated grates, solid construction, and spacious design make it a practical and reliable choice for family meals or hosting friends. While the setup process has a few pain points and the app’s UI could be more intuitive, these are small trade-offs for what is otherwise a standout grilling experience.
