Z GRILLS Wood Pellet Grill Smoker with PID 2.1 Controller, 450°F Max Temperature, 8-in-1 BBQ Grill, 459 Square Inches Cook Area, Meat Probes, Rain Cover (450E PRO)

Easy assembly with instructions and included tools. I bought this for myself as a Christmas present and am very happy with it. Included two meat probes and the latest PID technology. Heats up quickly and holds temperature accurately throughout the entire cooking process. I took the time to add smokers gasket tape to the outside of the grill where the door meets the grill. Helps seal the smoke and heat inside making it even more efficient. This thing is truly a smoke beast! Great for large gatherings. Bread basket design maximizes space and 3 levels of racks allows you to feed an army. Highly recommended.Update April 2024. Absolutely love this grill with the versatily of having three racks in a breadbox design. If you want to cook a large turkey or a small pig in here you can remove all racks except the bottom one. Thanks to the different size upper racks you have the ability to customize your upper levels to be in the back or front of the grill depending on the side of the item being cooked on the bottom. If cooking burgers, steaks, chops or rib racks the full 1100 sq inches can be utilized. I have not tried making smoked jerky on this but you would be able to make a ton. A very well designed, well built, very solid. It could be improved with outside shelves, a larger chip hopper, although the size is adequate as long as you’re not going to cook past 6 hours without checking it. You could easily add brackets and custom shelving around the unit if you wish. I got this smoke beast on sale before Christmas for 469.00 and I give it 5 stars at that price point and 4.5 at its current price which would be a 5 if it included the extras above. Compared to the Traeger grills which I’ve used and like very much I think the quality of this grill is comparable, given the same company in China that makes Traeger, also makes the Z grills line. Your saving good money while not sacrificing quality.To date I’ve had no problems with my unit. I keep it clean, vacuum it out after every 3 cooks, I keep the lid open during the shut down period to help it cool down faster. Just a little tip there. Oh yeah, the food is amazing. Pizza is wood fired goodness. Vegetables, peppers, all kinds of potatoes, really can cook anything on this. I really love this wood pellet grill and couldn’t be happier with it because it hits the sweet spot in terms of versatility, quality and overall value compared to the larger more established brands at the same price point.
