Product reviews of Z GRILLS 2021 Upgrade Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker 1000 sq in area 20LB Hopper 8-in-1 Grill Smart Digital control feeding Pellets (ZPG-1000D) Free Cover

L. J. Brown : The grill cooks as advertised

The front had a dent it in and the doors had space between them (see attached picture). I don't know if this happened during shipping or if was damaged before shipping. I was not going to send it back because it was a present for my husband. Other than that, the grill cooks perfectly!!!

Pbaumeister : I’m hooked

Solid construction, easy to clean, good results every time I used it. Steaks and ribs came out perfect every time.i

Ian Aros : Temperature controls is ridiculously bad, buyer beware!

I set this thing to smoke and when I noticed it had gone to 300+ degrees. It burned a $600 ribeye roast to a crisp. DO NOT BUY THIS, get a Traeger instead is more expensive but you get what you pay for.

scottwiam : So unbelievably easy

Let's start where I did, installation. One very large box and one medium box showed up. I went to carry the large box inside so that I could put it together. I tried to lift the box and quickly realized that I would not be able to do that on my own. I could not even drag it into the house. It weighed a ton. I opened the box and brought all the pieces inside. I grabbed the instructions and about two hours later it was all put together. Things were labeled pretty well and it would have gone much quicker with another set of hands. It was simple to wheel outside once put together.

I watched a couple of the videos and followed the video and written instructions for the initial firing. After the 45 minutes of high heat, I was ready for my first cook. I decided I would go for ribs. I smoked three slabs of ribs using the 3-2-1 method. I have been smoking and grilling for years. I have a Big Green Egg and a Griddle Grill and love them both. For these ribs, I simply set the temp to 250 degrees and did not come back for three hours. I wrapped them in foil and did not come back for two more hours. Then I unwrapped and an hour later, I brought them inside.

My son is a pretty tough critic. He said he thought they were the best ribs he has ever had. That was saying a lot. What I loved was how easy it is. I typically have a remote thermometer checking the heat of the grill. I am constantly going outside to adjust the vents to keep the temperature on the target. It is usually a little too hot or too cold. With this, you set it and forget it. So unbelievably easy, I felt like I was cheating. The ribs came out delicious.

The next day I did two bags of wings at 275 degrees for two hours and they came out great too.

I keep trying to come up with things to smoke. I LOVE THIS. I am so happy with it I cannot believe it. It is so solidly built. I could not believe how heavy duty the grill cover is too. Confident that it will protect my grill for years to come. This weekend I am smoking a brisket and cannot wait. I typically dread it as I have to baby-sit the grill all day long. Now, I no longer have to do that and the temp is always perfect. Highly recommend!!!

L. J. Brown : The grill cooks as advertised

Chester : Great Grill

I use it for all my grilling.

Tony : Used a few times

So far I've cooked Italian Sausages, tri-tip, frozen hambers, and smoked ribs. They all came out very well and evenly cooked. It's simple to use. Haven't used all the ways to cook on it yet. The only cons so far has been the little magnetic parts for the bottom of the doors to hold them closed don't stay in, they come out when ever I open the doors. The temp goes up and down a little but not much. so far i've used 10 lbs of pellets but that's with smoking ribs for 5 1/2 hours and grilling the above meats.
