Z Grills stands out in the taste, versatility, and consistency among all the grills. | Consistent & Precisely Digital temperature control automatically adds pellets as needed to regulate the temperature. Most stay within 10 degrees of the set temperature.

WOOD PELLET GRILLS VS.TRADITIONAL GRILLS
| | |
The Flavor The reason professional barbecue chefs use wood is that it provides the best flavor. Pellet grills use all-natural hardwood as fuel, delivering unmatched pure, hardwood taste. Try it and taste the difference. | The Versatility Unlike gas or charcoal grills, pellet grills have an adjustable, wide temperature range, allowing for 8-in-1 versatility. That means you can smoke a rack of ribs low and slow, or grill a wood-fired pizza hot & fast, and even bake a berry cobbler, all with the same grill. | Cost-Effective Pellet cooking typically costs less than a comparably sized gas grill. A bag of pellets (20 lbs) costs about 25 dollars and can burn up to 50 hours. While propane gas tanks are usually 30 dollars for a full tank, and you’ll typically get 20 hours of cook time even when cooking on low. |

Questions about Z GRILLS ZPG-550A 2020 New Model Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker Auto Temperature Control, 590 sq in Black & Z GRILLS 100% All-Natural No Blending American Oak Hard Wood Pellet 20 Lb
Q:
Unit not producing much smoke unless on “smoke” how do you produce more smoke when smoking brisket with temp at 225
Answer: I cooked a couple of briskets overnight. But ever since I got this grill I don’t think the temperature is right or it doesn’t stay at 225. I have to set it on like 185 to get 225. Makes no since to me. However the briskets came out OK. They had about 1/4” smoke ring on them. I think I’m going to call the manufacture and ask some questions soon. Hope this helps. Thanks
Answer: Dont be alarmed. A smoker running at 225 degrees will produce very little smoke. That's ok though, it still is still smoking your food.
Answer: So it is possibly the pellets but I can attest to Pellet smokers having a cleaner smoke compared to my Weber Smokey Mountain which is burning the wood and is leaving a more sooty burn (fumes and carbon) where the smoke from these smokers is cleaner. I think Hank Hill would like Pellets over Charcoal.
Answer: Get a smoke tube.
Q:
No smoke is there a way to adjust pid on this model ?
Answer: no there is no adj. but do not worry , you will taste smoke flavor
Q:
Are there any “smoker blankets” that would fit this smoker? Have found most smokers don’t do well maintain temp during winter months
Answer: Try a welding blanket
Answer: Can't really say. In California we don't have that problem. I did buy some thermal seal for the door. This cooker holds temperature quite well.
Answer: I just use a big piece of insulation and it saves a ton of pellets
Answer: Haven't seen one offered
Answer: Never heard of one but the temperature will hold as long as you keep the grill lid closed
Q:
Is this made in America?
Answer: No. It’s made in China just like the rest of them. However, the company in the US is in Georgia. They have great customer service
Answer: Purdy sure I seen where it said "MADE IN CHINA" but seems to be good quality and I use mine all the time.
Answer: No....China.
Answer: No. Made in China.

Answer: There’s only a shelf on the left (if you’re looking straight at it) that is basically a part of the hopper.
Answer: It has a shelf behind the doors, but not outside the grill.
Answer: No, just bottom main and small upper back shelf, like a normal bbq.
Answer: No it has a shelf on the left side where the hopper is
Answer: No. It must be ordered.
Answer: no
Q:
What's the difference between the $550 model and the $700 model? I understand the less expensive "elite" is a smaller grill.
Answer: Its my understanding that they are the same size but the $700 grill is closed in on the bottom around the legs. It has doors to close in your storage area.

Answer: I'm sorry I am not had any warranty issues
Answer: Mine arrived on time perfect out of the box. Awesome grill. 18 months works perfect
Answer: My controller was bad and the company sent me out a new controller within 7 days.
Q:
How do you remove the ash? I have seen pellet grills that have an ash catcher so its super easy, does this one?
Answer: This grill is a little more challenging to remove aches. You have to remove the grate and hot plate and either vacuum or scoop out the ashes. However... I have only done it twice all summer as I only do it when I line the hot plate with fresh clean foil.
Answer: The smoker is super efficient when it burns (assuming you are using the appropriate pellets) so there is very little ash to deal with. A shop vac works well to take care of the ash.
Answer: It burns hot not much ash. We have went thru 3 40 pound bags about a cup of ash at bottom we will use a shop vac to remove it.
Answer: The best method I have found is the shop vac. When I need to change the aluminum foil
Answer: The ash collects on bottom, a shop vac works well
Answer: I use a shop vac every 3 uses. Replace the foil cover and clean up.
Q:
What is the difference in durability between bronze and stainless
Answer: I can't speak on the bronze because I own the stainless version. It cleans well but it will stain due to the heat and smoke. Bronze may show less wear and tear. The craftsmanship is good though with high quality materials used. Very happy with the grill.
Answer: Price, I have bronze. I love it. Z grills great.
Answer: Really couldn’t tell you. Mine is just fine. Cleans in a snap and looks good. Like everything about it! Ask again in a year.
Q:
Someone said they added a meat probe to there’s? Where did you purchase it?
Answer: Try Google
Q:
No hold down for the bottom rack? Just slids from side to side?
Answer: Assuming you are talking about the rack you cook on. It fis on a back lip and a front lip. There is no room for it to slide side to side. Answer your question no hold downs but haven’t had any problem with it sliding. This is a great grill. I love it.
Answer: Don't know what you mean by a hold down for bottom rack mine slides in and there might be just a little slide fro left to right less than 1/4 inch no big deal at all I absolutely love this grill
Answer: There is a slot the rack sets on. Once in place, it will not move side to side or front to back
Answer: No hold down. Slides in from the front and is stable.
Answer: I have the 7002B. The bottom grate fits in perfectly with no side to side movement.
Answer: It fits pretty snug. Doesn’t tend to move around.
Q:
Hi all, anyone have a pictire of how the bottom rack is supposed to lock in? Mine slides side to side. Also where does the temp prob go? Thx
Answer: The bottom grill rack doesn’t lock in. It rests on the supports. Never had an issue with it moving around and causing a problem. It’s pretty stable. The temp probe goes on the Inside left of the grill. The tip points upward. There’s a pic in the reviews that shows how it looks.
Answer: All of your questions should be in the assembly manual. I am not sure what rack you are speaking of. If it is the cooking grate then it doesn’t lock. It just sits in the grill. The probe mounts to the left side of the inside of he grill with two screws. Probe points up.
Q:
What increments can the tempurature be set at?
Answer: 200 (smoke) 250,300,350,400,450 (high)

Answer: Sorry but I have not reviewed the 2019 product.
Answer: No
Answer: No
Q:
How long is the warranty for this item? and how can i find the pdf of the warranty?
Answer: They are out of China. Trying to get them to help is like talking to a rock.
Q:
How much does this fluctuate in temperature? I purchased a cheaper one and it fluctuates way to much to be effective.
Answer: So far, the most I have seen was 13° and that was while it was getting up to temp. After it was up to temp. It would maintain within 2 degrees. The smoke setting is where i always have the most difficulty maintaining temp. I want smoke, not heat. But if you open the chimney all the way, the heat is a minimal. It would be nice if they put a switch to shut the fan off so it would just smoke and not combust.
Answer: I get the most fluctuation when it is set on low temps. For example when set on 225 it’s not uncommon to see it at 240-245. However when it’s on higher temps it tends to hold within 5-10 degrees of where it is set.
Answer: This grill will stay within 2 to 4 degrees of cooking temperature. Depending always on outside cooking conditions. In protected
Answer: Mine stays +/- 20F. Seems to work just fine for all the smokes I've done so far.
Q:
Gmg has an add on pizza attachment, does the same exist for zgrills?
Answer: I am not aware of an attachment, I use a pizza stone, or just put it directly on the grill.
Answer: No... I would spend extra and get a treager! I returned two of these b/c of temp issues.. look at recent reviews.. the same issues
Answer: Do not know, sorry
Q:
Where do i find the pdf for the warranty?
Answer: On their website
Q:
How many racks of ribs can this hold
Answer: I did six and turned out great
Q:
will this fit a turkey?
Answer: Yes, if you take out the top rack you could probably fit 2-3 depending on size of bird.
Answer: Yes, i did one 20lbs turkey and a ham, and a goose all at once in there.
Q:
Are there any “smoker blankets” that would fit this smoker? Have found most smokers don’t do well maintain temp during winter months
Answer: Try a welding blanket
Answer: Can't really say. In California we don't have that problem. I did buy some thermal seal for the door. This cooker holds temperature quite well.
Answer: I just use a big piece of insulation and it saves a ton of pellets
Answer: Haven't seen one offered
Answer: Never heard of one but the temperature will hold as long as you keep the grill lid closed
Q:
What gauge steel (body and lid) and how heavy is the 2019 700E model?
Answer: It’s a thick gauge steel, seems to be constructed well and looks nice, however, that won’t cook the food and the first time we tried using our brand new 2019 series, it continuously blew the power circuit each time it was turned on. Customer service wasn’t any better, so we’re returning it.
Product reviews of Z GRILLS ZPG-550A 2020 New Model Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker Auto Temperature Control, 590 sq in Black & Z GRILLS 100% All-Natural No Blending American Oak Hard Wood Pellet 20 Lb
Skot : This Thing Is Cool
After almost a year with this grill I can say I love it.
I have become somewhat of a pitmaster using it.
Small learning curve and you can't really just walk away, unless you're cooking a brisket I guess.
I can consistently make ribs that are perfectly cooked.
Chicken, burgers, steaks, hell even pizza ... all great.
If you're in the market, this is the grill for you.
Michelle K. : Excellent smoker for any level
Quality product, easy to assemble and FUN to use. We love our smoker and are very satisfied with it. Does the same if not better than more expensive models we have experienced in the past. Look forward to many more tasty meals to come. Pork shoulder, Ribs and Turkey breast have already been done and MMMMMMMMMMMM good.
Panda31 : Good
Well packed an good size grill
Portland 3D : Seems difficult to assemble but so easy my 3yo helped
Had an initial shipping problem which Amazon (of course) corrected immediately . Once the unit was here, putting it together was a breeze. To my amazement all the parts were there, and it was completed in a little over an hour, and that was assembling it by myself. Very well built and all the parts aligned perfectly.
Now to the actual use: This is the first pellet BBQ I have owned and I was a little pensive using it for the first time. My apprehension however was soon set aside. My first cook was a pork shoulder, absolutely came out perfect. Fork tender.
Second cook was a mixture. Again perfect and juicy. Just finished a 22lb turkey and thrilled with the result. The operation of the unit is quite simple, load, the hopper with your desired flavored pellets, set the temp and cook away.
The only reason I did not give this a five star rating is because of the pellet hopper. If you want to change pellets you have to remove them by hand, but because of the grate in the hopper you can't get them all. I have ordered a small one gallon vacuum to resolve that issue, other than that I am over all very pleased , and would purchase again. Don't waste your money on higher dollar units, you will be very happy with a Z Grill...
Eileen Binkus : DISAPPOINTED
Before I purchased this I contacted ZGRILLS about the temperature controller and was assured that this was the latest and greatest version so I bought one and did the initial burn and was set to do my first cook. I was feeding 40 people and planned on 3 pork butts and 25 sausages to smoke overnight. So, around 11:00PM I set this at 225 degrees and watched as the temperature climbed to 302 and dropped to 190 for two hours. At first I thought it was adjusting to all the cooler meat but realized this was not the case. I could not go to sleep with this variance so I set it at 180 and still had a 100+ degree variance. Well, I did not have much choice at this time and an 8 hour cook turned into 11 hours and the butts were on the dry side. I was forced to start up my electric vertical smoker for the sausages. The next day I tried to grill some burgers, even at the higher setting there was a variance in the temp and absolutely no sizzle or grill marks and took nearly 10 more minutes to cook and the burgers were still undercooked. This is NOT a grill. it does not replace a grill. This is basically a convection oven so if you like your steaks and burgers baked then this is for you. I have returned this to Amazon with no issues and purchased a Louisiana Grills vertical pellet smoker from Costco.
Margie Limmer : Yummy!
The food so moist & tastes delicious!
Dan and Trish Smith : Great smoker
Makes a very tender and juicy brisket. Very easy to assemble and easy to use
Michael Lou : Well made grill
Came in two packages, one of which was quite heavy. The assembly took a while (about an hour), but all the parts were clearly labeled and the instruction was easy to follow. After assembly, the grill looks really stylish in my backyard, I put a 36x56 mat under the grill. The cover fits the grill tightly so you don't have to worry about water or dust getting into the grill.
Amazon Customer : The Quality
I bought the ZGrill almost a year ago & it works perfectly. My favorite is Baby Back Ribs, but everything on the grill is amazing! The easiness of having to set the temp & forget instead of watching the fire all time is wonderful! I would recommend the product to anyone!
Robert D. : Cooking Time
Only issue was amount of time needed to cook and sear steaks.
Gary P. : Man cook meat!
Had a issue with the first start up and there was no troubleshooting in the manual. Shot them a message via email but had to wait over the weekend for their office to open for a response. Could use some troubleshooting listed in the manual. Other than than it's been great!
joseph barrett : Buy with confidence
This smoker is awesome. I just got my smoker on 12/29/18 . The shipping was very fast it arrived early with no damage. Let me just say how impressed z grill had this smoker package. It was very easy to put together. As you can see in the pictures the finished product is awesome. The food had great smoke flavor. It held temperature within 5 to 10 degrees . I would recommend you to buy this smoker .

Great value in a pellet grill - I've instantly become a grill master with this doing ribs, brisket, turkey, pork butts and even a ribeye roast. Easy with outstanding results.
Joshua Williams : Temperature Gauge Broken
My grill runs WAY too hot. Overcooking the hell out of food I’m attempting to smoke. Hoping Z Grills can fix or replace this faulty equipment.
Bobby : AMAZING product and EXCELLENT SUPPOR from Z GRILLS
I purchased the ZGRILL and at first I had a small problem with the delivery; I called Z Grills and they were excellent with the support and the problem was resolved quicker than expected. I am very happy with the product, well built, solid and works extremely well!! I was able to use it yesterday and the BBQ came out AWESOME, I can't wait to use it again. I HIGHLY Recommend it!!
mark : Damaged upon arrival
The grill itself is easy to use. The cooking area is large and easy to clean. The reason for my low stars is when I opened the box the grill was bent. At first I attributed this to ups as the lid was bent and wouldnt close properly so I straightened it. The metel trim above the doors was bent as well and the housing around the cooking area had dents. But looking at other things it was shipped to me with dents the inside lips that hold up the grill grates was bent meaning that didn't happen in transport and was sent to me in that manor.
On to the use of the smoker. It's easy to operate turn to shut down cycle turn on switch and adjust temp from there. The temp itself is a bit sporadic tho and is +- 10 degrees on a good day. And have had up to 50deg swings. For the price I am still happy and wish I did send it back instead of straightening it up myself. The door is still out a bit the dents in the smoke chamber are still there and above the storage doors is still bent but didnt want to deal with repackaging and shipping it back and waiting. It does get used alot and does what its intended to do but I wish I did things differently with a damaged product. Look yours over if you purchase.
Dan and Trish Smith : Great smoker
Makes a very tender and juicy brisket. Very easy to assemble and easy to use
Praboughtit : Quality made grill...
I just assembled my new grill and couldn’t be happier. I shopped for quite awhile before making my decision. The Z Grill has more features than others and is really well made. Heavy duty, nothing cheap about this grill. Packaging of the product was top notch and assembly was straight forward and easy.
Season : Fabulous BBQ!
This is a great BBQ. Yes, you will need some patience and time to put it together, it took me about an hour, but the finished result is solid. Cooking is a joy and so far we've had great results with perfectly cooked, juicy meat each time.
Keith Walsh : Carefully follow instructions for assembly and cooking.
This is my first pellet grill and I bought it due to my friend’s experience with Traeger. Assembly was straightforward but took some time but my neighbor helped and I recommend having a good helper. It works great and holds the temperature perfectly. I have cooked several ribs, a brisket and three turkeys. I lined the drip tray with foil to make cleanup easy. I also own an egg and love it too but it is much harder for me to control temperature and I have to keep checking it to be sure it is holding accurately. No problem with the Z grill. Be sure and read cooking instructions regarding smoking and temperature settings for best results.
Slick : Quality product
I fell in love with the pellet grill after a friend's bbq party. decide to give Z grill a try because it is like a 40% discount to a comparable Traeger grill. So far it is up to my expectation.
The shipping took about 4-5 days and two heavy boxes were delivered. Each was like 100 pounds. It came in parts and requires assembling. The instructions are clear and all tools are included. It took me like one hour to put everything together and set it up. All parts are made of heavy metal and it feels like solid materials, at least from the weight.
The grill is used like oven. There are some instruction in the manual to follow but it is pretty much just turn it on and set the temperature. it burns wood pellets only. I have purchase Traeger pellets and another cheaper no brand one. The grill doesn't seem to care.
The flavor is the key I expect from this one and it doesn't disappoint. I am not really a grill master but I find this grill does especially well with thin sliced beef short ribs, pork belly, lamb. For burgers, dogs, or thick cut steaks, the wood flavor is lighter. I haven't tried smoking yet but I have high hopes for it.
I don't have the temp control problem in some bad reviews. Probably they have fixed issue. So far, I don't really have any complaint. If there is anything I think it can improve, the whole thing is kind of too heavy to move around. it does have four wheels but still not very flexible.
Mark P. : Not worth the money.
I have had this grill for 9 months now and use it at least two times a week for smoking and grilling. If you enjoy smoking meats or grilling beef buy something else. Smoking - will not maintain a constant low temperature for more than 30 minutes. I usually see about a 50 degree temperature swing when it is trying to maintain a set temperature. There is no set it a forget it with this thing when smoking. Grilling beef - just doesn't get hot enough for a good sear. If you want a grill that can cook meat around 300 degrees in an hour or less this will do the job. Need cooler or hotter temps I would look for something else.

Amazon Customer : Very satisfied, great support
We've been using our grill for about five months now and are so happy to have made the switch from propane. The unit is easy to assemble (much easier than a conventional gas grill), reliable, and easy to clean. I am very happy with the support I've received from Z Grills; there was a small scratch on a surface (probably shipping damage), and they were more than happy to address the issue in a prompt manner. I know that when I ultimately replace this grill, it will be with another Z Grills product.

Heavy duty, nothing cheap about this grill. Packaging of the product was top notch and assembly was straight forward and easy.
Tylor L. : Just fantastic!
So I just bought this model ZPG-700E and was shocked by the solid quality of the product.
First of all, the package of the product is strictly well made: each parts are enclosed in separate firm packages. The grill base is made of high quality metals (two wheels even have brakes to operate!!) which feels really solid during the installation. All parts have clear labels (see 2nd image as an example) which makes the whole installation process quite easy and enjoyable. What's more important is that the installation manual is very clearly written which thoroughly explains any confusions during the installation.
The finished grill looks great and shines under the afternoon sunshine! The attached grill cover is also made of high quality material and even has an additional space for the grill smoke funnel!
We're very satisfied with the product so far and I will update the review once we have our first barbecue!
Bobby : AMAZING product and EXCELLENT SUPPOR from Z GRILLS
I purchased the ZGRILL and at first I had a small problem with the delivery; I called Z Grills and they were excellent with the support and the problem was resolved quicker than expected. I am very happy with the product, well built, solid and works extremely well!! I was able to use it yesterday and the BBQ came out AWESOME, I can't wait to use it again. I HIGHLY Recommend it!!
Rocky Le : The Best Grill
So far it is up to my expectation.
The shipping took about 4-5 days and two heavy boxes were delivered. Everything is carefully wrapped with plastic or styrofoam. The instructions are clear and all tools are included. All parts are made of heavy metal and it feels like solid materials.
There is some instruction in the manual to follow but it is pretty much just turn it on and set the temperature. it burns wood pellets only.
I don't have the temp control problem in some bad reviews. Probably they have fixed issue. So far, I don't really have any complaint.
Christian Perkins : Un-Impressed
You never have a second chance to make a first impression. Z Grills takes this serious because from start to finish they impressed me. From allowing me to change my order to delivering a game changing grill. Worth the money and then some. This is how a felt previously. But trying to contact Zgrills has been a nightmare. Nobody answers calls or emails. Furthermore I had to pay for a cover that I was supposed to receive for free. They are clearly only interested in your money not your satisfaction with your purchase. Terrible.
willwork : Easy to use
All the parts fit perfectly and was very easy to assemble. It has been used 5 out of 7 days since it arrived. It is set it and leave it, come back and enjoy. Only thought is the temp could control a little lower. The 190's is the lower temp setting it will go to. But the end product is fine.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
