They are definitely not top tier. They're considered a lower end brand. I I've had the six whatever series for a couple years now and it's worked fine no issues with it. It is very light flimsy metal but it works. When I upgrade I'll look at rec teq.

These arent bad if you want to test getting into the game before upgrading to something like a recteq. If a recteq is out of your range overall and you want to get in the game, I'd consider getting a camp chef. Good customer service and a better quality than these. At $350, its worth spending a few more bucks and getting a camp chef. This is probably a much better model even though it is selling for $150 more https://www.dickssportinggoods.co...dndgrllcfp.

Z Grills use to make Trader grills/smokers. Then I read Trager is now using a different manufacturer and quality has gone down hill.

I don't own either, but what I do decide to pull the trigger, I'm fairly certain I'll be going with Z Grills

I don't know much about Z Grills besides the fact that a bunch of YouTuber smoking channels seem to use them. Whether that's a sponsorship type of thing or because they legitimately believe them to be top tier, I'm not entirely sure, but I figured I'd mention it.

I looked at Z-Grills when I was shopping for a pellet smoker. Ended up going with Grilla Grills. Zero issues with it after 2 years.

Agreed i bought a 3yr old used Grilla Silverbac. Runs like a champ and support if you have questions is fantastic. It's also thick stainless steel... cheaper models like the one in the post may not maintain temps without blanket in colder weather.

Speaking of this stuff, if I had to do it again, I'd probably look more at something like one of those Masterbuilt gravity fed units. The smoke flavor I get off the pellet grill just isn't quite good enough, and I think that charcoal / wood chunks is the next step up. Still get the automation that you wouldn't with an offset, while still getting better flavor than with a pellet grill.

I've been doing quite a bit of research on pellet grills recently. This is a good unit at that price point. Yeah, you're not getting heavy gauge steel, but people seem to like the z grills.

I'll personally be going with the new version of the Weber SmokeFire.

I have an older one of these that we used 2-3 times a week for about 5 years. It still works great and now at my cabin, and I also have a 6 month old Traeger 34 Pro. I have to say for the price the Z-Grills are excellent.

The Z-Grill had a bit more assembly than the Traeger. It is high quality, heavy gauge powder coated steel. It comes with everything you need - mine came with a cover and a bag of pellets. The coating on the grate was damaged on arrival due to some rubbing during shipping. I emailed and they shipped me new grates two-day shipping without any fuss. The customer service is excellent as well.

The Traeger is heavier gauge steel and is even higher quality and simpler assembly. I had to buy the accessories separately. So keep in mind, that the cover, shelf, and other accessories add to the overall cost.

This is a great grill for the price. If I hadn't got the Traeger as a gift, I would happily purchase another one of these. The Traeger is an excellent grill, I would say it is better. However, like everyone here, I am a bargain shopper, and I don't see the need to pay twice the price for a the marginally better grill. I'd rather have two of these.

Bonus - The Green Mountain Grill pizza oven fits in this perfectly and is a 'must-have'

I'm just getting into smoking but I've heard that if you want more smoke without getting a whole new grill, consider using a smoke tube with your pellet grill (or any grill for that matter).

I have several smokers of all kinds. ceramic, side box, webers, electric and more.

I have the ZGrills 700D. I use it a lot because its easy and it allows me to smoke way more often than I used to on the wood fired. I do prefer the smoke of real wood over pellets, but this allows you to cook way more often due to convenience. Just push buttons and go to bed. Wake up rested, check food with coffee in hand. I would say pellet smokers are 90% of the flavor (slightly different flavor) for 10% of the work. Worth it for many.

I have had my ZGrills 700D for several years and it performs well. It is heavier gauge steel than many of the other cheap pellet smokers especially in this price range.

My ZGrills sits outside every day and it is still in great shape. I would recommend for anyone who is not hard core about smoking and wants something that works, is built well enough for the job and is very cost effective.

As far as adding more smoke, I have the smoke tubes and I do not like the bitter smoke they add as they smolder. I either add real wood chunks on top of the metal pan under the grate or simply turn down the temp for several hours on long cooks to cause more low temp smoke before going back up to 225.

I was really hoping to catch one of those masterbuilt charcoal smokers on sale, but heck with it. I'm rolling with this for now.

I add two smoke tubes at times. It makes a huge difference adding a smoke tube or two vs just the smoker itself. I think everyone should have a tube or two in their arsenal!
