Setting up was pretty easy. Everything came as expected and understanding the assemble was easy. Once all the initial steps were taken, using this is a piece of cake. I used it for the first time in about 40 degrees. It heated and cooked like a champ! I have used it in 8 degrees as well. The heating time increased some, but once there, it was a smokin’ away. I have no complaints or issues using this grill. The Wi-Fi was simple as well. Great product Z-Grills
So far better than expected. I choose Z Grills because of all the different configuration. I've been using the recipes and everything is turning out very tasty.
Installation was pretty straight forward. Pellets that cam with grill burn relatively clean with little clean up. I applied heavy duty foil to drip try and bottom of grill for easy clean up.
I have now done a spatchcock turkey, burgers, and a prime rib. All of these were done in December with below freezing conditions. Holds temperature very well even in the cold weather. Everything has come out perfect and tasted great.
The WIFI app was easy to install and setup was easy. No issues using my phone to set temps or shut off grill from phone.
My only complaint is I wish the temperature probes that come with the grill could be set at temperatures below 160F. Medium rare items at 125-140F you just have to watch the probe temps but can't take advantage of the alert system within the app. Not a huge deal but would have been nice.
Bought the 1000 as a Christmas gift for my son. He loves it. Constantly telling me about what he smoked and how well it turned out. Loves the automation (load hopper, set temperature and let it do its thing).
This is the first pellet Cooke I’ve ever own. I was a little hesitant about pellet smokers but more and more people are getting them. Two friends have them but they own Treagers. They both said that they work good but not when the weather gets cold. Well here in Pennsylvania Xmas morning temp was 8 degrees, chill was 0 degrees. Cooked prime rib. Zgrill held the temperature perfectly. Never had any problems. The double walls on this is outstanding ! Would highly recommend this grill to anyone ! Only wish Zgrills had a cover for it. Thanks for such a great product. Dan
