Z GRILLS did provide this smoker at no cost to us for this video, but we did not receive compensation for the video and are free to make the video as we chose.
This is the new Z grill pellet smoker 1000 series. There is a lot to like with Z grills. The main feature of z grills is to get a quality product for a very affordable price. The issue is there is a ton of different pellet smokers out on the market today. So what makes z grills different that they would be worth the purchase with so many other smokers out on the market today? The answer is simple. price. It is really the only reason to get a z grill, and that isn’t a bad thing. There are a ton of features packed into this smoker for a very affordable price. There are better smokers out there, but you are going to pay a premium price for them that’s for sure! So take a look a Z grill its a ton of grill packed into a great price!

Great video. I purchased my 10002E. The grill is fantastic, especially in terms of value. Very solid construction. Grill space is huge for larger cookouts. Maintains temperature with no issues. The smoke ring is very prevalent when cooking compared to other pellet grills that I have used in the past. I am glad that I was able to find z grill before shelling out a lot more money for the same or lesser quality

[@embersliving]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching

Love my 10002E. It holds temps better than I ever expected. I've found it handles opening the lid and things fine after that initial start up too. The smoke, 180, and 225 setting seem to smoke a good amount.

Good to know!

[@joebenigno8916]

Interesting. I never knew about pellet smokers/grills before. Thank you for for opening my eyes to another way to go

[@embersliving]

Our pleasure!

[@gtarbmx]

i have this grill and i never get grease on the ash pan. it flows effectively off the grase drip pan and into the outlet hole

[@embersliving]

good to know

[@dwormon8525]

Ash clean out is gold

[@embersliving]

ha true

I feel like Z Grill is someone who wants something like a Traeger or a Reqtec but don't want to or can't take out a mortgage to buy one.

[@brisckets]

Does it have a double wall just like the 700 series or the lower part of this grill is thicker to help insulation. It helps make the smoker more efficient?

[@embersliving]

no its a single wall lid

If Gmg can put wifi on a 300.00 grill one would think at 650 at would have wifi

[@embersliving]

you would think

[@ssgooent]

I have a Z Grill and have a couple observations. If you want a smoker, buy a dedicated smoker. Pellet grills provide little or no wood flavor. The Z grill controller will fail. It's just a matter of time. You can't set the grill and walk away. The temperature doesn't stay constant and I've seen temp swings of up to 150 degrees. This is with a clean grill, no dust and no other reason for the temp swing. I really wanted to like this grill but I'm giving it away and going back to a Masterbuilt electric smoker.

[@embersliving]

thanks for the feedback

After 6 months of owning the Zgrills-master-700d, I am HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED! My skinless chicken and turkey always come out with a tough chewy outer layer, and the meat inside is somewhat tender but with VERY LITTLE SMOKE FLAVOR! I had to purchase a smoke box to burn extra pellets/chips in order to get a decent amount of smoke flavor! After contacting the customer service, I was told that "this is the nature of the wood pellet grill. Chewy on the outside and tender on the inside." I'm EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. These are NOT the results that I expected for the money I spent!

[@Eee00123]

👍

[@embersliving]

thanks

[@mikefalle7910]

These are pretty much clones of old Traeger models. I heard some once that this company made Tragers and other brands before they came out with their own brand. A wifi controller would be a came changer

[@embersliving]

good feedback

[@denaliking6426]

people should realize that foil puts out fumes at 400+ degrees and I wish they stop making multiple level grates that do slide out

[@embersliving]

good to know

[@Super020469]

I used to be a distributor for Z grill... Their customer service totally sucks... There's a huge language barrier... The design of the 1000e is horrible.. the gaps along the sides of the lid are bigger than the gaps in the Grand canyon... the removal Ash pan in the back also is a horrible design because you lose tons of heat and smoke, it is not sealed off!

[@embersliving]

good feedback

[@Super020469]

@@embersliving Thank you

[@matt3957]

Bought my 10002E one year agao. I've never experienced the smoke leaking out the ash pan.

[@Super020469]

@@matt3957 look at your drip pan when it is firing up

[@cyclindwilson9978]

I bought my Zgrills 700 last year, and my friend got Traeger for 3 years, it’s just normal for a small amount of smoke to leak for all brands of smokers. As long as the lid is bent or tilted a little due to external pressure, it won’t create an airtight seal.

[@tonybooth2811]

Gorilla grills are the best

[@embersliving]

we will have to review them

[@MyDailyPerspective]

When you review something...you should know what you are talking about. That was the ash tray...grease will not get to it. It's not a grease tray nor does it require foil on it.

[@embersliving]

ah your so smart, thanks for the feedback Scott

[@jasonshoemaker385]

Sorry dude, but they must of payed you good to tell them is worth buying. My cousin bought one and hates it. Nothing but problems, very cheap made. I bought a Pit Boss pro 1100 for the same price. Weighing at 205lbs its very hard-core. Those cooking grates on that look like Walmart cheap thin. The thin stainless door on that will not hold heat. Very cheap made MO

[@embersliving]

yeah that's why we mention they are good for the money. I would say there are better smokers out there. But you will pay a bit more.

[@Ram-re5em]

NEVERY BUYING ONE I USE GAS OR CHARCOAL GRILLS ONLY

[@embersliving]

ok
