Z Grills Reviews 

The grill was easy to set up I added the wifi pid module and added the android app to the phone very simple to set it up and started the burn in process. At the top setting the grill did almost hit 500 degrees back it down and it held temp well for the rest of the process. Then we made some smokes peperoni pizza slices.

Tried out my ZGrill smoker with a pork roast this weekend and added a new smoke tube packed with hickory and mesquite chips—game changer. The smoker held temp like a pro, and the extra smoke from the tube gave the roast a deep, rich flavor without being overpowering.

The bark was spot-on, and the meat was super tender and juicy. Cleanup was easy too. Honestly, the combo of the ZGrill and smoke tube took things to the next level. Definitely doing this again.

easy installation and customer service was great when the box was missing a piece.

I purchased a Z Grills Mystery Box in March 2025 and couldn’t be more disappointed. What I received was cheaply made, arrived covered in leaking oil, and completely ruined my carpet. The product was wrapped in a plastic bag soaked in oil that had seeped through the box — a total mess.

Beyond the packaging disaster, the grill itself is low quality. The hard plastic components feel effortless and flimsy. It burns through pellets in less than 4 hours and doesn’t hold temperature consistently, making it unreliable for any real grilling or smoking.

This was not only a waste of money, but also a huge hassle. Definitely not the exciting surprise Z Grills promised. I won’t be buying from them again.

Have been a GMG guy for 13 years. Decided to give it a try. Easy to assemble and works well.

Had some trouble with the electronics on my first one but customer service was amazing my new grill works great and look forward to many days on the grill..

I bought a Z Grill after my Traeger quit working. I found it easy enough to put together and easier to use. The thing I like the best is how the consistent it performs on every cook I have done. The performance is much better than any other equipment I had previously.

I bought 700D4E and it is very versatile. I make ribs, chicken, tri-tip, pizza, and prime rib. Every different entree has turned out very well. This brand is the best value for the money. In fact, I'm going to upgrade my control panel so I have WiFi capability going forward.

I bought the new 700D4E WiFi, built it, hooked it up to WiFi, and everything works great. I am able to do almost everything I need to run the grill from the app, and have had no problems with connectivity. There is plenty of room to make anything I need to cook. The cabinet is awesome, so now I can keep my extra pellets and tools out of sight. Came with a very nice cover. Holds temp extremely well, and I live in the PNW and it is not summer yet. Barely used any pellets and I first smoked some wings for 30 minutes, then crisped them at high temp for about an hour.

Experience was great, grill came quickly and was easy to assemble. Worth the deal!

Great Customer service

I was really excited to purchase a Z Grill after seeing so many reviews and videos. So when my Traeger died I jumped at the opportunity. Delivery was quick and the process to build the unit was quick. When I went to fire up the unit for the inital burn my control panel never went to "smoke" setting or showed the "S". I've messaged, called and spoken with everyone and have been told to just set the temp to 160 degrees. I've done this and the grill smokes for 1-2 minutes and then it's just a fire in the fire pot. I've been told to order Z Grills pellets which I've now done and 3x the cost of those I find at Costco. Hopefully it works but I don't have high hopes. Hopefully I can return this and take my money to a company that values my business and doesn't try to keep selling me on things I shouldnt need.

1 week after I bought mine they had 1000D4E WIFI - REWARD CROWDFUNDING
Best Pellet Grills For Parties by GEAR PATROL... for the same deal.

Order my 700 series Reward Crowdfunding grill and heat blanket at the end of March.
1. The website says it is a 45 minute install but it takes 45 minutes to unpack the box carefully so you don’t damage / scratch anything (which might just be me since I like to keep my things as new looking and damage free as possible.)
2. The instructions really were not that clear. Not terrible but could use some improvement. (Part labeling and the hardware packet to match the instruction manual.) I wish I would have taken notes to help better improve this process for future folks.
3. A few of the of the parts that came were damaged.
a. The decorative plate. Which I got straight (kinda), so it is hardly noticeable.
b. The drip bucket was a bit smashed and had to bend in the hanger holder tabs to get it to fit on the grill.
c. The grill chamber assembly itself was dented in two spots.
4. The heat blanket that came (in my opinion) is way to big for the grill.
Emailed Customer Support about the issue and it seemed to take almost a full day to get a reply. At first the said they were going to send me a replacement grill and that the heat blanket I ordered was in fact the correct one. My friend has one on his Z Grill and it fits perfectly on the grill chamber where this one has a big gap in the back of it.
The cover that came with the grill fits amazing!!!!
The initial burn off was nice and easy. The first-time use was awesome. The whole family loved it. the controls were easy(ish) for never using one like it before.
I have not yet setup the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for the grill.
All that being said I am mostly happy with my purchase. I do think the QA and engineering folks should talk a bit more. Not sure if the company has “Testers” at all but it may be a thought to help improve a few things. I’d apply for that job for sure.

Bought my Zgrill 1000d about 3 weeks ago. Shipping was a little slow and it arrived on two seperate days. Box 2 came on Saturday and box 1 came on the following Monday. It was packaged unbelievably well. Assembly took about 2 2¹/² hrs. Very easy and straight forward. It is built like a tank very nice quality parts; even the screw driver that was provided was great quality. Learning to use smoker I had to turn to you tube as there are limited instructions on how to use the smoker (I've never owned a pellet smoker). This so far has been the only issue the lack of an instruction booklet and I was surprised there wasn't a small reciep book included (tons of recipes on YouTube though). First smoke was ribs on Saturday. Smoker worked like a champ very easy to use and smoke on.
I'm gonna have to learn the hot areas, and cold areas on the smoker though. I would highly recommend.

I really like the idea of a new grill every 5 years, which I was doing already.

I LOVE setting the temperature and not having to check it every hour, i can actually sleep through the night now.

You can also "jump the line" and get grills faster for a small fee and shipping prior to the 5 year countdown. However, the costs are really low. I also might add that I am 55 and will NOT see this "investement" come to fruition...however, since it is transferable, my two sons will enjoy a lifetime of BBQing like their old man.

I used my 1st zGrill (the large one with three cooking levels) to cook two briskets and they turned out awesome. I setup the large zGrill by myself without much hastle. Instruction were clear and the burn out was really easy. I followed this with a bunch of fajitas, sausages, and chicken thighs that all turned out nicely.

Please note that is a great Grill (it is actually in the name) and not necessarily a smoker. However, I bought a smoking tube and light it before placing it in the grill for great smoke action. I also added on a high temp bbq gasket to the perimiter of the zGrill lid and now drive ALL the smoke and heat out the smoke chimney where it is intended, not that this was not already happening...but I WANT IT ALL.

ha ha

I am stingy with my money and my experience with zGrill has been rock solid so far.

Do yourself a favor and join up and get to BBQ great food for you and your kin (as we say on the ranch).

Just got a new grill cover and THERMAL BLANKET for my 450B. Blanket really makes a noticeable difference in heat retention.

The grill got to me very fast and assembly was so much easier then I expected. Did my first cook on it a couple days later and absolutely loved it!

I ordered the "2025 New Upgrade 700D3" as part of the Crowdfunding rewards program (new grill every 5 years). It shipped quickly and arrived on Friday; packaging was very thorough and secure. I spent a couple of hours setting it up; it was easy and instructions were straightforward--I just took my time (plus working around all that packaging). Instructions for burn-in (seasoning) were easy to follow, too.
The next day, I fired it up for brats and burgers. Smoked them for about 45 min, then switched to High to finish them off. This is my first pellet grill, so I'm learning as I go along. The brats were a bit over-done on the outside, but tender and delicious on the inside. The burgers were incredible. I look forward to 'honing my craft' in the coming weeks and beyond. I can't speak to the every-five-years part yet, but look forward to seeing how that plays out.

Quick delivery, easy assembly! WiFi was a bit hard to connect. Great to grill on!

Have had my 700e smoker for several years now and it has been fun to use and made outdoor cooking more enjoyable. My model had the old type controller and I recently ordered and received the new model PID. This was a problem though. It came in a box , no install instructions nor a how to use manual. Zgrill news to up their game on instructions and manuals. Other than that it is a very good smoker.
