Questions about Z GRILLS ZPG-6002B 2020 New Model Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker 6 in 1 BBQ Grill Auto Temperature Control, 573, 601 sq in Copper
Q:
I like to smoke pork shoulders at 225 degrees overnight and I am wondering how long a full hopper of pellets in this grill will last?
Answer: My husband smoked a 16 lb brisket at 225 overnight and it cooked until around 2:00 in the afternoon and we still had some pellets in the hopper.
Answer: The pellets fall in on a concentrated area of the auger. It ends up looking like an anthill in there. Set it and forget for overnight is not reality. You have to even out the hopper pellet level every couple of hours. I tried a long brisket smoke and saw this.
Answer: I agree that the pellets don't fall into the auger very well. I've cooked on low heat for 3-4 hours just fine, but had the grill lose temp and basically shut down from "running out" of pellets, which was really just that the pellets in the hopper didn't fall down into the hopper after a cavity had been formed. You need to agitate the pellets every few hours.
Answer: About 15 to 20 hrs with 20 lbs of pellets. This depends on outside temperature
Answer: A full hopper at that temp should last 8 to 10 hrs.
Answer: My husband will be smoking over night tonight. I will let you know how it turned out. And how long.
Answer: A full hopper should last all night I would think.
Answer: My pellets last along time. I think you’ll be ok
Q:
Does it come with a cookbook with a constructions on how to cook for example a turkey?
Answer: No, but search "smoke whole turkey time and temp" and plenty will come up. The Traeger site pulls up a lot of recipes if you want brine and rub ideas. For turkey, I would search Alton Brown's turkey brine recipe and cook at 225 for about 30 minutes a pound. There is a ton of great info free online from good sources. The grill comes with good instructions, but not anything special for recipes.
Answer: No it does not come with a cook book! I use google on cook times and different recipes! You will like it for sure it actually keeps its temperature for not being insulated on smoke box!
Answer: No, but you can find tons online. It is really hard to mess up meat on one of these.
Q:
Is this fully electric or can you use propane too?
Answer: It's fully electric
Answer: This is a pellet grill. It plugs in to power the fan, auger, and heating element. There is no other source for fuel. So, yes, all electric.
Answer: No propane, it’s a wood pellet grill/smoker. The pellets are feed from hopper with an electric motor
Answer: This grill burns wood pellets and has a electric ignitor. It must be plugged into a 120 volt outlet.
Answer: Electic only
Q:
Can you control the vent? Looking to use it more as a smoker.
Answer: You can't control the vent. But...this IS a smoker. It has a setting strictly for smoking which runs around 180 degrees. it also has an over setting with thermostat for baking that doesn't produce smoke.
Answer: No, it is really more of a chimney.
Q:
Does this grill come with a cover?
Answer: Yes, cover is included for this model.
Answer: No, mine did not
Answer: Yes
Q:
How close does it come to the advertised 1000 degree sear temp? Does it sear well or not?

Q:
Do they make a cover for this specific grill?
Answer: They're out of covers but I found a generic cover on Amazon that works just fine. just figure out the size you need

Q:
Did anyone purchase the zpg-6002e ? did you get a 2020 model? price seems too good to be true based on other current prices for similar models
Answer: Not sure what model I purchased, but have only had it 4 or 5 months. It was a lot cheaper than the other ones, but I have really enjoy cooking on it. Even tried my first brisket on it and it came out great. My experience with the grill has been nothing but positive and I hope this helps.
Answer: I purchased mine around Christmas time. I think the total cost was around $339. I love it, works great. I have a friend that purchased a different pellet grill for over $500 and guess what my works as well as his and he rather mine over his now.
Answer: We bought it last year. So not 2020. Have only used it twice. Really no opinion yet on quality. And, first time owning this type. We seldom grill. So, don't feel very qualified to help you.
Answer: I did purchase, based on reviews elsewhere. It has been wonderful, only one small problem that required that I remove the face plate of the control panel and tighten the thermostat connection. Zero problems after that.
Q:
The posting states its able to grill, however there is nothing about it in the instructions. how do I go about "grilling"?
Answer: I turn it to 475, and wait until the temperature display reads 475. Then I grill on it like a normal charcoal or propane grill.
Q:
Can you grill without smoke?
Answer: yes
Q:
Does the 7002f2 come with a cover? I know it does on their website but i don't see it on here.
Answer: I didn't get a cover with my grill.
Q:
How many watts of power does this unit operate on?
Answer: We operate on normal household current
Q:
Is this one Bluetooth? If not do they have a Bluetooth pellet grill?
Answer: This one is not bluetooth. I don't think they make grill that is, but they make a wireless thermometer,
Answer: It is not bluetooth nor wifi....they do sell them with those options however. Check out Zgrills site.

Q:
Product dimensions
Answer: 46X22X46 77lbs
Q:
Can you clean the ashes out without having to remove everything inside? Only complaint i have about z girlls
Answer: My husband uses a mini shop vac to clean ours and doesnt have to remove anything except the grate to get the hose in there
Answer: You cannot, and while it’s slightly inconvenient I find that it guarantees I clean my grill properly, instead of trying to “burn everything off” like some people do with a gas grill. It’s only 3 pieces that you have to pop out, it’s not too bad.
Answer: I just slide the grate to the right lift up the plate thing and get the ashes out that way. Only takes a few seconds
Answer: No
Q:
How hot will this grill actually get?
Answer: 450 degrees! Some say 550 but mine got here and says high 450
Q:
Does it come with a warranty?
Answer: 3 years
Answer: No
Answer: It does
Q:
how difficult is this to put together?
Answer: It wasn't horrible, but I'd definitely recommend having an extra set of hands to help with the lifting.
Q:
So does it plugin or have propane. How is the heat source ignited?
Answer: Electric
Q:
How long is the power cord?
Answer: The cord on this grill is 6 ft
Q:
Just received grill. comment above says comes in 2 boxes. i have just received one. should i be looking for a 2nd box??
Answer: Mine did come in two boxes. One of the two had the components such for the frame, grates, hardware, wheels, etc. The second of the two had the main smoke barrel.
Answer: No, probably referring to the box inside the grill with all the parts.
Answer: I received mine in two boxes I definitely would be looking for a second box or contact the company to make sure a mistake wasn’t made. I got my boxes at the same time.
Answer: Mine came in one box
Q:
Can you control remotely Bluetooth or Wi-Fi?
Answer: No
Q:
How long to get temperature to 500 degrees Fahrenheit when turning it on (trying to weigh pros and cons vs a gas grill where it’s ready in a few min)?
Answer: Maybe 10 min depending on the temp outside. But even on max I have only seen it go to 475ish on mine. Nothing I have cooked has needed anything higher than that. I love this grill.
Answer: I don't know the exact time, same as you stated about gas ( it takes a few minutes). It is faster than charcoal, but slower than gas. You should buy a pellet grill because it tastes better, not because it is faster or cheaper than gas.
Q:
Does this model have the PID control system?
Answer: The new one does, I just purchased the 7002 “2020 update” and it has the PID controller. You’ll see some negative reviews about the new PID, but they are coming from people who can’t stop themselves from lifting the lid constantly. When you set the temp and let it stabilize (which will take a little while) it will hold the temp within +/- 10 degrees. It’s a great controller, I highly recommend it.
Q:
Does this come with a drip bucket?
Answer: Yes it does but if is not hanging right it will drip oil on the bottom of the grill base.
Answer: Yes. It hangs underneath the side with the smoke stack.
Answer: Yes
Q:
How can you clean the outside of this bbq pit (I’m assuming it’s grease that dripped)?
Answer: the tray under the grate is removable. I put a sheet of aluminum foil over it before I smoke. The fire box top comes off and it is easy to vacuum the dust with a handheld vacuum cleaner. One paper towel to wipe the grease collection channel The greas goes to a little pail that hangs outside. It take me 3 minutes to do the whole job. PUT THE ALUMINUM FOIL on after you clean the unused pan and before you use it the first time
Answer: I use Zep spray grease remover
Q:
What is size and any information on power cord my dog chewed it up need new one?
Answer: Find a new dog
Q:
looks a little small.. can I put a full sized turkey in there?
Answer: Yes you can. We love our smoker
Q:
Will this get to 1000 degrees?
Answer: No
Q:
Does it come with cover? If not where to buy them?
Answer: No it did not. We bought a smoker grill cover from Amazon.
Q:
What is the difference between models 6002B and 6002E?
Answer: Color I believe
Q:
Is this made in USA
Answer: Z Grills markets themselves as a “Proud American Brand” that manufacture their products in China. Z Grills is the natural evolution of global trade. I think that they are a Chinese factory that has been making pellet grills for American companies for years.
Q:
Is the cabinet good for storage?
Answer: You can access the storage only from the sides or the back but there is room for the bags of pellets.
Q:
Can you the front plates off the stand for the 600 so it’s open underneath like other models? Is there a functional reason for them?
Answer: None
Q:
How would i know if it is or isnt the 2020 model with the upgraded temp. control?
Answer: The controller placement will tell you, the new PID controller is at the top of the hopper and is oriented horizontally, the old one is lower down and vertical. The new one also has build in meat probes
Q:
I turned and glazed my chicken and it dropped temperature from 400 down to 100 in no time also didn’t turn brown, why?
Answer: if you use the "smoke" setting, the temp will drop. If is suppose to give you more smoky taste. do that first 30 or so then take to 275 to finish cooking.
Answer: The only thing I could think is the auger that feed the pellets may have jammed. When you open the lid you’re going to lose temperature, but if it was just a quick turn you shouldn’t have lost 300 degrees. Now, if you had the lid open for minutes, I could see where you’d lose that heat, but it should have come back up once the lid was closed fairly quickly. The best thing to do with the pellet grill is leave it be, there is a heat deflector, so no need to turn food, it all gets pretty even heat.
Answer: That's a lot of temp to drop. I've never had mine lose temp like that. I have noticed I don't seem to get a lot of color or bark on my meats either. I'm still new at "pellet" smoking. I'm going to try a little more heat sooner next time to see if I can get some bark. Sorry if this doesn't help much. Like I said, I'm new to the pellet method of smoking. Good Luck!
Answer: You raised the lid, letting the heat out
Q:
Can you bake a pizza in this
Answer: I tried this and it took forever. Pizza came out completely dried. Can’t recommend this!
Answer: Supposedly yes, I have not tried it, but I believe they sell a pizza stone for that purpose.
Q:
Does this one come with a cover?
Answer: Purchased separately
Q:
bought this and worked once and can't get help from zgrill it will catch fire and with warrenty no one will stand by
Answer: Did you clean out the box that the pellets drop in? When mine didn’t light I cleaned it out and it worked
Q:
Can the top rack be removed for smoking items large as two turkeys?
Answer: Yes, the top rack is removable. It may fit two smaller like 12lb turkeys
Answer: Yes the top rock can be removed
Answer: Yes.
Answer: Yes it can
Q:
Is the smoker made out of stainless steel?
Answer: Not sure!

Dan : Buy next one up
Hard to controll temperature
Jessica Grove : Good purchase
Assembling this thing is NOT easy.. but it’s so worth it! I’ve cooked on it 4 times since purchasing and I’m impressed!
Jennifer Rymell : $150 less than the competitor also weighing in at about 80 pounds
I bought 4 for my 4 grown children and those kids ambitious enough to assemble gave this grill rave reviews. I have a Grilla chimps that's great, but for $150 more I'm unsure digital display worth it. Chuck N.
SLW : First time smoker
Assembly was not bad, one person about an hour. As for smoking, follow the Zgrill recipes get a good temperature probe and enjoy the results.?
Jessica Prise : The perfect addition to your grilling fantasy
If your looking for a pellet grill with a cheaper price and still smokes like a champ the 6002b is perfect. Gets up to max temperature in under 15 mins. Plenty of room for a rack of ribs 6 chicken large chicken breasts alone on the hot rack and same space on the warming rack. Makes the best tasting burgers on regular grill mode with that wood fire. Deffinatly worth the buy. Oh and for those of you who were like me and worried about sturdyness and thickness of the metal on grill. Rest assured its heavy duty metal.
Nickol L. : not enough screws
missing screws. Did not have enough screws to finish assembly.
Chris K. : No cover
FAQ clearly says that it comes with a rain cover. I didn’t receive one and very much need one.
Frank : Smoked meat!!
Should of brought a long time ago. Really easy to smoke meat perfectly.

Amazon Customer : Works great!
It was fairly easy to assemble. I like the seating station and that it releases pellets slowly
Tracy L Pare : Great grill!
We’ve had the grill for about a month and love it! It works well, is easy to use, and the food turns out great. Compared to a friend who went with a higher priced model, I think think was a better value.

Dan : Buy next one up
Hard to controll temperature
Heather & Jon : Good value. Good directions. Doesn't sear.
Good value at $330. Unfortunately, the "sear" function doesn't really sear like a sear burner or charcoal, and even though it says the grill may get to 1000 degrees, it does not come close. Because of the dual rack setup I can rig a charcoal setup too if I like for searing. Outside of that, the grill is well built with moderate assembly (good directions) required. It does what a pellet grill should, and maintains consistent temp with some smoke (remember pellet smoke is more harsh than wood chunks).
Amazon Customer : Not as nice as other z grill models
Not as sturdy as a different model I purchased from the same brand. Also doesn't seem to ever heat up fully. It was confusing on what to do with some of the wires...maybe they didn't end up in the right place.

PepsiKrazy : Doesn't Hold Temps, But Still Not Bad
I don't write many reviews. As I write this one, I have a brisket that's been going for over 8 hours, and I felt compelled to write this review now that I've owned/used it for over 6 months.
This was my first smoker, as my experience has all been with gas grills thus far. Keep that in mind. With that being said, I did tons of research before and after buying, so I have a decent idea of what a buyer should need.
Pros:
-Price. I got this on a steal of a deal for under $175. With that being said, knowing what I know now, I don't think I'd pay full price of close to $400.
-It works. It does what it's supposed to, mostly. I've been able to smoke all kinds of things and nothing has gone horribly wrong.
Cons:
-Temperature Control. Look, I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about, but this thing definitely does NOT stay within just 6/7 degrees of the set temp. I set today's brisket at 225 degrees on the smoker. I set up my own Bluetooth thermometer to confirm the interior temps (more on this later), and I noticed it had fallen to 163 degrees. Plenty of pellets and everything else seemed fine, and a few minutes later the temp shot up to 267 degrees. This thing simply doesn't hold a steady temp.
-The interior thermometer isn't accurate. The display on the outside shows the current temp. My Bluetooth thermometer, which is reliable, consistently shows 10-20 degrees lower than what the smoker displays. Don't rely on the built-in thermometer.
-Limited Temp. Settings. If I wanted to smoke something at 200 degrees, well I'd be out of luck. The lowest setting is 180, and the next setting up is 225. That, combined with the temperature swings, can make some smokes difficult or impossible.
-Limited space. I don't hold this against the grill for ratings purposes, but the distance between the lower rack and top rack is minimal. You'd have to be making some thin meats to use both racks.
Conclusion:
Despite the flaws, it was worth it for my first smoker and price. I would hate to learn tough lessons on an expensive smoker. At the same time, my next one will be a more expensive model with more stable temperature control, the ability to set exact temperatures, and a built-in meat thermometer, and a bigger size.
Still, it's a good "beginners" smoker, though I likely think that because I paid a lot less than normal price.
Bobby : Best grill I ever purchased.
Best grill by far I have ever purchased. Easy to assemble, very good start up and shut down instruction. Nice size seems to be very well built.
Patrick Marks : I wish I would of returned this.
I hate this thing!! Bearly smokes, won't hold temp. Set it at 200 i get 400. Set it on high and I get 225, oh, and no smoke.
Coffee_Fanatic : Broken at 2nd use
I used this grill once in 2020. I stored it indoors in my kitchen because it has electrical pieces so I was worried about snow. The grill may have spend a month outside on my yard at most. Was only used once. It did turn on fine for 2021. But after starting to grill a brisket, temperature control is useless because while it can get hot at 450, it will not stay at 275. Temperature set at 275 is at 160 right now. Junk.
Josh green : Great buy
This little unit is great I can fit three baby ribs on it and still have a little room ! Can also cook two spare ribs on it at once full slabs! I love it!! Warms up quick and puts the smoke to it evenly!!! Great buy
The Lykken's : Zgrill
Over all I love this smoker it does everything I want to do with it. I can cook everything from brisket to pork belly burnt ends. Just wish the lid would seal better. But it is still a great first smoker.
Toni : Not a bad grill, though advertised searing temp is not true.
Love the flavor and overall cooking ability of the grill. My main comment is that it doesn’t get up to the advertised searing temperature which is one of its selling points. It can and does reach close to 400 though. When your cooking steaks you want that initial searing temp though.
Assembly is typical, be prepared to spend a couple of hours. I did not like the routing (or lack thereof) of the hopper wires. They were pinched between the grill body and the hopper. I don’t know how well this will hold up.
deborah b. : Z Grills has no quality control. ?
NO SMOKE. HAS BEEN RETURNED. TEMPATURE WAS NOT 250 DEGREES + OR - 5 DEGREES OFF. THE MANUAL HAS TO BE REVISED IF YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS MODEL READ MANUAL THRU THEN PUT TOGETHER. FOR $25 BUCKS MORE I WENT WITH PIT BOSS 820ME OR XL 820 SQ INCH TOTAL COOKING AREA AT MENARDS. MANUAL GOOD PROBLY DON'T EVEN NEED IT TO PUT TOGETHER. Z GRILLZPG-6002E 2020 JUNK A BIG NO. CHECK OUT THE OTHER GUYS Z GRILL ON YOU TUBE ON AMAZON SAME THING WITH MINE. PIT BOSS $49 DOLLAR REBATE.... PIT BOSS AWSOME PRICE AND PERFORMANCE AND WAY WAY BETTER, I WILL KEEP.. 5 YEAR WARRENTY.
Amazon Customer : Not as nice as other z grill models
Not as sturdy as a different model I purchased from the same brand. Also doesn't seem to ever heat up fully. It was confusing on what to do with some of the wires...maybe they didn't end up in the right place.
David Driscoll : Not an all around Grill! Be careful before you buy
The discription is wrong. The grill only, only uses pellets for fuel. It's not an all around grill! Don't waste your money
RH : Solid, Smoky and holds temp
This was a good value compared to the other brands. This is my first time smoking and using pellets to cook with. It operates great. Smoke setting performs and 227,275,300. All temps hold close. Maybe avg 6 to 7 degree +- swings durring a cook. Its right there the hole time. I have not opened the air gap valve in the drip pan to use for more direct flame. I guess you can hook up a steak fast by using it that way. I covered mine in foil to keep the drip pan from getting trashed. My ribs, chicken and tonights pork loin turned out nice and tender. Pretty decent smoke ring on the ribs and pork loin too. Hopper is a good size and the auger assembly looks solid and works. I like the size too.
One year.
Still performing. The only complaint it the height from the grill to the lid once closed. I can't cook a chicken on a beer can stand or any stand that elevates a bird. Steak and Burgers cook just fine. Great smoke flavor.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
