Z GRILLS ZPG-550B2 Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker with PID 3.0 Controller, 553 sq in Cooking Area, Meat Probe, Hopper Cleanout, 8 in 1 BBQ Grill Outdoor Auto Temperature Control, Black

Easy to assemble even with the included tools. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The grill performs well especially for the price point. The smoke setting puts out plenty of smoke. It pulses a little due to temperature flux. The temp flux during cooking or smoking is a few degrees up then back to the set temp. No problems with auger fire. Overall it's well made.

Solid build. Reasonable price for a good product. Would definitely buy again.

Our 1st pellet smoker grill. Couldn't be happier. Only problem is that is thermocouple show hotter than heat chamber.

Absolutely terrible!! Temperature won’t go below 240, if you turn the dial past 180 degrees it pretty much just stays at 400 degrees at any temperature. The auger is screeching and the fan sounds like it coming apart at times. Also a constant flickering noise like a wood stove starving for air. Don’t waste your money, spend the extra couple hundred so you don’t have to assemble and disassemble this turd.

I am very happy with this smoker, after having it for a year I've had a fair number of hours put on it. Obviously for the price point I wasn't expecting it to perform to the same level as more well-established brand names, but I was pleasantly surprised by this smoker. If you prepped, spritzed, and cooked right, grill was able to put a very nice smoke flavor to most anything I put on it. It even made simple things like frozen pizza have a little extra zing and changed it up from being mundane. Only issues I had with this smoker was I did have the conveyor jam a couple times and had to "help" it along to get started. I did see a couple reviews stating there can be issues with the temp controller, I'm not sure if mine is starting to have issues, sometimes when I turn it on it superheats up the temp, and other times the temp bounces up and down, but if I shut it all the way down and turn it back on its always worked fine after. If I could change one thing on this smoker, I wish the ash trap was removable for cleaning out. A shop vac makes quick work of it as is, but there are days where I'd like to be able to just take it out and dump it. Using tinfoil on the drip pan and changing it every few uses will save you on cleanup. If you plan on smoking in cold temps, I think this smoker may struggle due to being pretty lightly build and it doesn't seem well sealed, but for anything else I wouldn't think twice about buying this again if price is ok. I store mine in garage for winter, so it works perfect for what I need.

So I've been cooking on kettle grills all my adult life and decided I'd like to try a pellet grill/smoker as I grill several times a week when I can. I wanted an entry level product so I could see what pellet smoking was all about and I'm completely satisfied with this grill! After I unpacked it the wife and I flipped it over and it took less than an hour to get it assembled. It comes pretty heavily coated in packing grease so be sure to follow the initial startup and burn-in procedures. Most everything you can find on Youtube will walk you through it (although this PID 3.0 isn't featured in any of them as it's newer but the procedure is the same). It's sturdy and well built for the price, the only things I would change are all available options on more expensive models so maybe I'll trade up in a few years. On to the fun stuff. This thing rolls out a ton of smoke! I did a rack of baby backs for a first cook on it and they came out perfect, comparable to the best I've done with charcoal and I didn't have to mess with it at all. So all in all I'm in love with this pit. we'll see how it does for the long haul but for now it's my new favorite toy!

I was hesitant at first about buying it. I'm glad I took that first step and ordered it. I put a 9.3 lb pork butt on it at 10:30 pm at 225 degrees. At 8 am, I wrapped it in aluminum foil and let go till I got back from the sale barn at 2:30 pm. It's internal temp was 217 so I shut it down and let it cool while I put away the new roosters and goat we had bought. Let me tell you, when I say it was tender, that's and understatement. It wasn't even dry. I'd say this pellet smoker/grill is well worth the money and works just as well as the big name smokers. Buy one for yourself, you will be amazed.

Absolutely great value. I have had this grill for 3 weeks and cooked a 12lb Boston butt and a 20lb beef brisket the brisket took 22 hours and this grill held the temperature all night long even with temps dropping down into the 20s. This is my first pellet grill and I was shocked at how efficient it is. Even on the 22 hour smoke it used only about 10 pounds of pellets out of the full 18lb hopper. I would fully reccomend this grill to anyone just getting into pellet grills. Just set it and leave it. Paired with a meater meat probe this is a great purchase

Los pellets le rinden mucho, está muy espacioso. Es difícil de limpiar y los saltos de temperatura los muy grandes.
