Huge hit for my son in law
on September 11, 2022
Posted by: MichelleY
I bought this for my 20 year old son in law. He smokes anything and everything! A little small if you want to cook large amounts of meat on it. 2 racks of ribs barely fit 😬 They also don't need a huge cooking area unless they want to entertain, so this smoker is perfect for their little family! He brags that he has the best smoker on the block 😂 It would be nice if there were more options as far as controlling the heat settings, but it's good enough for their 1st smoker.

Incredible smoker. Go to their YouTube channel!
on September 11, 2022
Posted by: Mark
I had never smoked anything in my life. I literally watched the ZGrill YouTube channel and did the tutorial for setting it up. Good thing I did, because you need to do an initial burn to get any paint fumes burned off. It was very easy. Then I watched some videos on smoking ribs on YouTube & proceeded to make the best ribs I have ever had. Everything I've made has turned out amazing. I was initially a little scared because I was expecting a lot of smoke, but it burns so clean you hardly see any smoke at all.
I'm going to be purchasing the snap on cooktop they showed on one of their videos to cook steak and other stuff. I bought this for father's day and my husband loved it. You can cook anything on it; burgers, hot dogs, steak, ribs, chicken, beef. This Thanksgiving I'm going to do the smoked turkey I saw on the meat church bbq YouTube. This thing is extremely heavy duty. Don't blow money on some overpriced brand. This company will probably put half of them out of business in the next 15 years.

Nice!

This is my first pellet smoker.. Its pretty cool.. Did two turkeys on Thanksgiving.. Both were great! Only down fall it bounces a little bit in temp. But this is no cause for alarm. This is a very simple to use grill. I should also say we did a few T-bones with it.. Just turn the temp all the way up and cook one side four minutes and the other seven for med-rare. Though it does not sear to well, the flavor was better than gas by far.

Smoking made easy(er)
on September 11, 2022
Posted by: BreckO
After researching pellet smokers for almost 3 weeks, I finally pulled the Zgrills on the 7002F. It has blown my expectations away, from the durable build quality, ease of use, and flawless operation. If you are on the fence as I was, save yourself some wasted time, rip off the band-aid, and buy one! Honest review, from a genuinely satisfied customer.

Price and Quality love my Z Grill
on September 11, 2022
Posted by: RayD
I purchased the grill and it came damaged, its pretty heavy and I can see why. I returned the grill and they shipped my second one, it took forever to get and I even had to go to UPS to pick it up, all and all it was a disaster. So why 5 stars? Because once I got the grill put it together and started smoking with it I was very happy. The grill is large and you can smoke a lot. I have used it a hand full of times in the past few weeks and I can not be more happy. I am so happy I went with the Z grill. If you are a novice smoker a pellet smoker is the way to go. I did steaks on the grill and the came out great, the only complaint is the fact that you will not get great grill marks, but I can live with that. One other thing, buy a pizza stone and do pizza, amazing..

What I wanted...
on September 11, 2022
Posted by: dwjohnson
At my wife's suggestion I bought a smoker. Looked at 'em all... read the reviews all over the web... decided on a Z Grille. Zgrills had the best deal all around. Came complete with cover and quick assembly per easy to follow instructions. Fired right up and away we went. Watched numerous videos concerning the operation and tips (worth the time) and it works great. Temp stays where it set and finished product is awesome. Brisket, pork chops (both plain and stuffed), beef ribs, rolled round steak, beef chuck roast, several variations of fatty's... all were excellent. Haven't tried the grilling yet as I have a griile and a flat-top. Great unit and makes me smile.

Best grill/smoker combo on the market
on September 11, 2022
Posted by: ScottAD
My last grill/smoker combo rusted out and had to be returned. My research for a smoker that also worked as a grill for steaks, wings and salmon and with a few clicks can smoke a rack of ribs. I also wanted something better made with a good warranty. Z grill hit the high bar on every mark. Assembly was easy and they even through in a nice pair of gloves to prevent finger prints on the stainless steel.
