My overall experience with my Z grill has been a positive one. The assembly directions were not too bad, only a few minor things not explained well enough but were figured out. Using my grill, it has been fine. It fires right up and get to target temp in a reasonable amount of time. The ability to clean out the ash without taking the grill apart is awesome. Slide the tray out from behind and dump the ash. My only issue is that the advertised wifi app is inaccurate. It is normally 6 t0 10 degrees off from what the grill is showing. The grill temp is always where I set it to be. I have smoked ribeye's, ribs and an eye round roast in the last three weeks. All were perfect.
Overal very good. I smoke two pork butts to season grill nicely @ 225. Temp fluctuated more than I thought, greater than 5 degrees. 10-15 degrees sometimetimes. It turned off after 12 hours, I might have hit something on the app not sure. I’m very impressed and good purchase so far. Will do ribs next.
Being new to Z grills and reading all the reviews and tips I was pretty confident firing my new grill up, and it could not have been easier. From the initial assembly to this, the experience has been great and I can't wait to really dive into football season and all the things I want to create.
My first 2 fires on my 1000D4E made delicious burgers and pork shoulders. Temperature controlled consistently and perfect smokey flavor. Sadly WiFi connectivity is disappointing. I have tried repeatedly connecting to 2.4GHz with no success. I’ve gotten into my IP settings and turned off the 5GHz, restarted, ensured my cell is only connected to 2.4 and still no success. Connecting to WiFi should not be this difficult.
