Comes up to temp fast. Sturdy structure. Grease tray keeps it cleaner than other pellet grills. Ashes tray easy to pull out and dump. I wish the ash tray would pull out from the front. No open flame grilling on this pellet grill. Overall I really like my new Z Grill
Not gonn a lie, the packaging was on point co sideri g our delivery services and how brutal they can be. Assembly was a breeze, just wish the print was bigger for us old blind people. Got the burn i. Done a couple of days ago and now im cooking some ribs and baked beans. App is working quite nice and the temperature is mai ting set point. All in all a great grill so far. Never do a perfect review off the rip, have to see if there are any bugs after a few uses.
So far love the grill, with the only exception that through the app it only allows 2.4 WiFi, and I only have 5.. would love to know if there is a way to get around that.
I haven't done a "real cook" on it yet, but I already have some red flags. First of all, when I unpacked it and assembled it, there were several screw holes that seemed to be off. Not just in alignment with the hole, but the screws themselves wouldn't go in properly. I made sure they were the correct ones and they were lined up straight, but it even happened with one of the cart wheels. I will say, however, that once it was assembled, it looks great. Also, other than the hardware problems, it was easier to assemble than my old Pit Boss was.
The only thing I have done so far is to grill some hot dogs. I love the app and the fact that it not only tells me the meat temp if using the probe, but the internal temp, as well. However, it took a lot longer than I would have expected to get up to temp (I set it at 400° and it was almost 20 minutes before hitting temp - in the summer in the south). But then the big flag was that it did not keep the temp +/-4° as advertised. It would fluctuate up to +10° several times in the very short time I was cooking compared to smoking a brisket or butt. That is the whole reason I got rid of my last grill. If I wanted to babysit the heat, I would get a stick fire grill/smoker. The last thing is there was not much smoke at all. I understand pellet smokers don't put out a whole lot, but I felt almost like I was using propane. Fortunately, I'm not overly concerned with that as I usually use a smoker tube anyway, but it definitely wasn't the billowing smoke in the ads.
I have a couple of big smokes coming up. If it performs better than I have seen so far, I will happily update this review. But it isn't looking good so far...
Easy assembly. Sleek design. We smoked pork butt, pork ribs and chuck roast. It was a great smoke. The probs and app worked well to get a perfect temp in the meat. Clean up was equally easy. I would highly recommend!
I love Z grills they are top quality and well built. They work as advertised and cook really well. I highly recommend Z grills to any one who wants the best you can buy
