Good value for a pellet smoker
Set name: ZPG-450A
Z Grills ZPG-450A 2019 Upgrade Model The main grill is approximately 15.5 by 21 inches. There is a secondary ‘warming’ grill that is about 6 by 21 inches (with my measurements). The warming grill is above the level of the exhaust, so cooking meat on it is probably not a good idea. You can put veggies up there and just wait until they are done. The warming grill sits in a stationary position in the back, about 4 inches above the main grill. If you are cooking a large roast, the warming grill might need to be removed. I have to give a -1 star for the evasive advertisement of the (450 sq. in.) cooking area. Other than that, I love this thing. I own a wood fired, offset grill, that cooks great with lots of attention. I wanted a smallish smoker that would not waste fuel on cooking just one roast. This grill/smoker cooks great without much attention at all. In my case, it is also much cheaper to burn pellets for 8 or 10 hours than to keep a charcoal fire going for that long. I have also owned a propane grill. Propane seemed good for chicken but other meats did not have much flavor. Your results may vary. The temperature control is a switch calibrated in temperature increments. The settings are ‘Shut Down’, ‘Smoke’, 180, then 225-375 degrees in 25 degree steps. The last selection is ‘High’, which I think is 450. I normally only do 225 degree smoking. The temperature appears to be controlled by a combination of fan and auger speed. The temperature sensor is about at grill level on the hotter end of the unit. I could set 225F and after a 30 minute warm up measured (without meat) 224 on the left, 224 at center and 233 on the right. For a wood fired grill that is close to perfect. Depending on the meats and local weather conditions, the temperature may vary. On a large pork roast I saw temperatures between 200 and 240 when set at 225 on a 60 degree windy day. Mostly it stays around what you have set. This thing is really heavy, over 85 pounds. The only plastic parts I could see are the wheels. More metal usually means better cooking for an oven. I have no complaints. I've done some pork ribs, pork loin, chicken, and beef tri tip. all with expected good results. This past weekend, I decided to try a pork butt, without using a Texas crutch. Eighteen hours later at 225F, I had some really good roast. It used about 20 pounds of pellets over the 18 hours, all at 225. I would never had attempted that with my charcoal smoker. Too much time and money evolved in keeping a charcoal fire going that long. These pellet smokers do not add an overpowering smoke flavor. If you like extra smokey meats, you can get a pellet fired smoke tube that will provide more than enough extra smoke for under $20. Updated 6SEP20: I've been using this grill almost daily for six months now and fell in love with it, I kicked my rating from 4, up to 5 stars. It is so darned easy to use and clean, keep foil on the drip tray thing and life is good. You will need to vacuum out the fire pot at about every 20-30 pounds of pellets (or sooner). I found I can get 40 pound bags of pellets at the local hardware store for around $15, not the super deluxe pellets, but good just the same. Way cheaper than using charcoal. The only thing I miss is the ability to sear over an open flame. This grill will heat up to over 420 degrees so it is possible to simulate that flame grilled finish. ... show more

Updated Review
Set name: ZPG-450A
I've only had the grill for a few weeks. There were no problems with delivery or damage. I would not say it was "easy" to assemble but it was not too complex and 2 people are needed at different stages of assembly. I have cooked ribs and a whole chicken using Z Grill recipes. I was disappointed with both. No smoky flavor with the ribs, some with the chicken. The Grill performed well each time. It was relatively easy, pre-heat the grill, prepare your meat, place it and forget it. Heat level maintained well but need to double check with oven thermometer. Cooked both to recommended temps. FYI: be prepared for a different result than you would get with a charcoal grill or even indoor cooking. Meats prepared so far, have a different consistency and color. This will take some adjustment both on the part of those eating and also adjusting cooking time and temp. I believe with time, the grill will season and I may raise cooking temps and length of cooking. Placed some potatoes in the grill to bake with the chicken and they too came out with a different texture and little smoke flavor after 5+ hours of cooking. Will update this review later as I gain experience and the grill seasons. I was pleased with the amount of wood pellets needed for the ribs and chicken. The warmer summer temps will make a difference with volume of pellets needed. 5/28/24: With the use of an oven thermometer, I discovered the interior temp was about 25-40 degrees lower than displayed. By compensating by setting higher temps, I smoked ribs and chicken again and they came out fabulously. With the warmer outdoor temp, the grill seems to be heating to the displayed temp. So in cooler, windy weather, increase you heat setting. With repeated use, the grill is beginning to season nicely. I am very pleased. ... show more

Great little Smoker! (Z GRILLS ZPG-450A 2020)
Set name: ZPG-450A
I have had this grill since April and think now is a good time to write a review. I had a slight hiccup when I first received my grill. Watched the contract delivery person from Amazon literally drop it off a 4 foot bed truck. Not wanting to risk it, i called and had Amazon schedule to pick that one up and send me a new one which arrived two days later. I had a laugh when the escalation person asked if it had damage. I asked for him to produce the manufacturer spec on 4 foot drops and i would gladly accept this one and since i'm no grill mechanic, he promptly sent the new one. I digress. I have used this grill quite a few times over the past couple of months. If you are one of those folks that love lightly smoked foods and not the stuff some of my redneck buddies absolutely murders in smoke, then this is for you. I have been using pecan pellets in it from day one and really like the product. If you watch it while it's working, you may think that it's not really smoking but trust me, it is. Assembly is fairly straight forward and had no surprises which was pleasant. I am used to holes not lining up and prayed i didn't have that issue and i did not. I have cooked the following on it and i will rate each one: Burgers: would rate these 3/5 for flavor but beyond that, you may just want to stick with a grill because the sear feature on this is severely lacking. it just wont get hot enough and maintain that heat when it's open. Sausage: 4/5 for smoke but again, it leaves a bit to be desired if you are wanting to get some char on them. Boudin: 5/5 for everything! I run these on the top rack for 30 minutes then crank it up to 325/350 to get some snap to the skin. Honestly, it couldn't be any easier! Turkey: 5/5 for everything! i removed the top rack and just barely squeezed a 14 lb bird in there! I did not run it on the smoke setting but ran it around 325 and waited for the internals to get to temp. Be sure to use oil in your spray and be generous as the skin will need to cook out. Whole chicken: 2/5 but pretty sure it was my fault. I let the skin get away from me and got bullet proof rubber for skin and tough meat. Flavor was on point! Stuffed the bird with boudin and that was amazing! The temp jumps around quite a bit on the probe and the machine is constantly adjusting itself. If I set it on 325, it will range between 300 and 350 at times. Not sure if this is a game changer for anyone because keeping a smoker to temp by hand would be around the same swing given the thickness of the materials of the grill. The hottest i have had this grill at is 420ish but like I stated earlier, it doesn't hold that temp well and will fall off once you open the lid. Bottom line is that this 2020 updated grill has given me know issues thus far and has been great. Don't toss your grill just yet as you will primarily use this as a simple smoker as it will not do things that a grill will do. As a basic set it and forget it smoker, this thing hits the nail on the head! For the price, you can't got wrong! I have recommended this to all my friends but been honest about it's short comings! Now I've got more time for beer! ... show more

Exceeded my expectations. Great grill. Looks nice, too.
Set name: ZPG-450A
I’ve only had this a little over a week, but I have to say how happy I am with this smoker/grill! I was reluctant to buy a smoker...I had purchased a Traeger about five years ago through Costco, but did not like that it just couldn’t get hot enough to cook meat the way I liked, so I returned it. I received this one as a birthday present, so I had to keep it! Put it together the day I got it. It is no “easy” snap together job, but the instructions are clear, the packaging is, if anything, over done. In fact removing all the parts from packaging was probably the most difficult part of assembly! As a novice “smoker” the startup procedure and the precautions were a bit concerning and intimidating, but I gathered the patience and followed them closely. In the end, everything went very smoothly, all pieces fit perfectly, there was exactly one extra screw, as promised. By the third time I used it, all was second nature. The best part is the food! I bought a 20 pound bag of Oak pellets from ZGrills. That is the only type I have used so far, but I see no reason that any flavor wood would not work. I plan to use other types next. The first thing I smoked was a ham for Easter. I used a Traeger recipe I found online for a pineapple glaze and it was fantastic. So easy. Just set the temperature and let it smoke, opening every ten minutes or so to mop on some more glaze. The Smokey sweet flavor was delicious. I had read that the temperature variations were too wild on the ZGrills, but I don’t think they matter...they center around the desired/set temp, and of course they will vary and take time to correct just because of the lag time for feeding and igniting the pellets. The heat transfer rate to the food smooths the electronically measured air temperature. Anyway, the big ham was perfectly done. The other extreme I have cooked was a pizza from Papa Murphy’s. After starting, I turned the temp to “Max”. The grill quickly...five minutes or so...reached 450 degrees and I inserted the pizza on its paper tray. I turned the temp down to 375 after about five minutes because it was staying up around 450 and the pizza instructions were to cook at 400. After ten minutes I checked for bubbles in the crust and there were none and the crust was beginning to brown. I rotated the pizza 90 degrees and let it cook 8 more minutes. (We are at 4000 feet, so cooking anything takes about 10% longer than at sea level.). The crust was crisp and brown, the smoke infusion added a dimension that was far better than I expected, and the company raved about the great pizza! Don’t even think about it! Buy this grill. ... show more

Best grill I've ever bought
Set name: ZPG-450A2
Before buying this, I only ever had a simple charcoal or propane grill. This pellet grill is so easy to use and makes food so delicious it feels like cheating. I chose Z Grills because I wasn't impressed with the reviews for Pitt Boss stating how bad their customer service was. The PB was more $, and where is that value if they have bad service? The grill came undamaged and went together easily. It crushed making a 9.5lb pork butt (pictured) in 14 hours. My family went crazy over it. It's also easy to clean and took maybe 15 min tops to clean after the pork butt. The provided cover is thick and seems to be made well. My only suggestion is to use allen screws and bolts, the phillips provided strip very easily despite trying to be careful with them. The provided screw driver is laughable for putting this together. ... show more

YOU WILL REGRET PURCHASING. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.
Set name: ZPG-450A
The hopper is beyond pointless. It either jams due to the pellet weight in the hopper or it empties and turns off because you are forced to underfill it. Meat gets ruined constantly due to the heat turning off and I have spent more money on wasted meat than I did purchasing the unit. Below is the letter to the manufacturer after their very pitiful response. Please do not waste your money. First off, let me be clear, the temperature does not get too high, EVER. IT SHUTS OFF ENTIRELY when the pellets stop feeding either from becoming jammed or lack of pellets due to forced underfilling as your hopper design is UTTER CRAP. Let us just be clear on that in the first place. Second, I will NOT stand in front of the hopper AND STIR WITH A STICK. The entire purpose of my purchase of this grill was to be able to set the temp, fill the hopper, and WALK AWAY and check once every few hours. So NO thank you to that bit of advice. Finally, I will not make any attempt to procure, at my own expense, a weighted pan to fit the dimensions of your hopper. If your design does not work without a weight (and let me be frank, I don't think it will work at all) then you should have included that in the design to begin with. It is laughable that you even took the time to send that picture and expect me to reference as a design flaw fix. What kind of customer service representative are you? To be honest, I am surprised you didn't send me a picture of the stick with which you ever so kindly instructed me to use.... I expect you to replace this grill with one that WORKS PROPERLY when I turn on the device and with MINIMAL, I repeat MINIMAL interference from all humans in general. Barring a replacement, I expect a refund for which I will gladly send you this piece garbage which is cluttering my patio as it is not fit for use. Attached you will find the orginal receipt, which by the way, includes shipping address, name, etc. and you will find the serial number of this "grill" although the term is being used very loosely as at this point its only a sculpture on my back patio. I expect word from you shortly on your plans for replacement of the unit or refund of the unit. Their initial response below as well as the picture of the weight they want me to use: Hi, Don't worry. This is just an uncommon condition and may only happen when the temp reaches high. We can ship you a new updated hopper cover which can better improve this issue. While waiting, here are some suggestions if you meet this issue. You could have a try to remove the upper safety net in the hopper(it's ok to do that) and use a stick to stir up the pellets. Meanwhile, you can place something heavy in it to help. (see attached pic for reference) Sorry for the inconvenience to you. ... show more

Grll works well.
Set name: ZPG-450A
It took me about 2 hours to assemble the grill alone In a cramped space. I did the 45 minute burn out on high and the controller held the temperature good. It got as hot as 465 degrees at first then brought everything in and had about a 10 to 15 degree swing from 440 to 455 degrees and held in that area most of the time. I did everything exactly by the manual. A few days later I did my first cook, baby back ribs and beef ribs using pecan pellets. I smoked the ribs for 3 hours then rapped them in foil for three hours. I had a 20 degree swing a couple of times in the beginning. Then it settled out to a 10 degree swing most of the time with a little more at times and a little less at times. As far as the temperature swing, conventional ovens generally have a 30 degree swing in temps as the burner cycles off and on, some less some more. Now that's 30 degrees to high then 30 degrees to low from the set point. So this grill held the temperature very well. I smoked the ribs on the 225 degree setting and the temperature was in the high 40's to low 50's outside in the 6 hour smoke time. The ribs were very good and would pull away from the bone with little effort. They had a good smoke ring about 1/2 of the way through the rib meat. This is my first pellet grill and I have always used a conventional wood/charcoal smoker. You don't get the smoke on the pellet grill like on a conventional smoker. But the ribs did have a good smoke taste and I have been known to get to much smoke on my meat. So I am pleased with the 450A 2020 upgraded Z Grill. I'll cook a 5 pound prime rib roast on Christmas day, I think it will come out very good. My wife got me a great gift for Christmas. Update: Jan 30th: I have cooked a prime rib roast, baby back ribs and a brisket on the grill. All were in cold weather putting the meat on the grill at 30 degree F temps. All came out good and tasted good. Set the desired temp and let it go, very easy compared to a standard wood smoker. It does leave a smoke ring and the taste is very good. But it is not as good as cooking the old fashion way, but very good and convenient, simple. It's good enough and will probably get better as I learn to cook with it. ... show more

Great deal
Set name: ZPG-450A2
I’m impressed so far. I just put this smoker together and I am surprised at how well it’s built. It came with gloves and tools to put it together.. nice touch. It was packaged well and arrived on time. The thickness of the steel is as good as any well made smoker. It is sturdy and has a nice coating to protect it. It also includes a cover that is also thick and an impressive construction. I got this smoker because my son-in-law has a more expensive smoker and makes great food, but has less features, such as trays and a cover. This model has more features and is considerably cheaper. I have not cooked on it yet but I’m excited to start smoking meat. The directions were ok? I’m handy so I figured it out but they could be better. Overall I’m very pleased. Let’s see how it smokes meat! I’ll advise. I’m not usually one to write reviews but so far I’m pretty impressed by this smoker. ... show more
