Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Every piece is sturdy and well made. It's heavy enough to appear very durable, but not too heavy to make it user-unfriendly. The cost vs value is unmatched with the z grill. Only one issue.

It's very versatile. Easy to use when properly used.

The high temperature setting goes to about 445° which was plenty to sear it good. Adding a similar 1/8-1/4 gasket around the lid as well as a tube of heat-proof silicone sealant would be great additions to the product.



Cons

The grill works just ok. Temp control is is no good though. Sometimes it’s just 10-15 degrees, sometimes is almost 100 or more. This creates a potential fire hazard.

Replacing the logic board and a new hopper assembly did nothing to mitigate the problems. I recommend just getting a better product that lasts. Had issues less than one year after purchasing!

    Putting it together wasnt necessarily fun but it wasnt the rage fest that grills usually create when being built

    If you need a lot of space the 450 might not be large enough

    After that you just let it do the work

    So im a total novice when it comes to smoking meats


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I smoked it for about 8 hours until it had a beautiful black bark and the internal temperature reached 160 fahrenheit

    I then wrapped it in butcher paper and added about 2 tablespoons of wagyu beef tallow


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Placed it back in the smoker and cooked for about another 5 hours until it reached an internal temperature of 203 fahrenheit
