[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the 1120B model for my husband as an anniversary gift. Because cooking meat is his hobby, there’s a number of grills and smokers around the patio, but this one was his holy grail (holy grill?) Every time he walks in from slathering another layer of sauce, he vocalizes how much he loves it.

Unit was delieved by 3rd party and was left on the pellet feed side. Weight of unit damaged the pellet feeder

This grill is an amazing find, the price is great! I’ve used this grill three times so far and my food was amazing! I smoked a ham and some spare ribs and beef ribs!

It takes a while for it to get up to temperature it took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to 500 Degrees. It cooks very well and very insulated and Cooks fast.

I love it!!! I can just turn it on and start the smoking. Can control it while I’m at work so by the time I’m off, the meat or chickens are done. Perfect steaks each time as well

Initial cook off temperatures windchill was 20 degrees below zero, minus 2 Super Bowl Saturday. First cook, mexican street corn and 2" ribeye steaks, windchill was 30 below zero and minus 5 on Super Bowl Sunday. This did not discourage me from raving the elements and asking a great deal from my new 'Beast'! Searing was toughest, as every time you opened lid to turn and/or flip steaks, significant heat was lost. My Beast got the job done, despite the adversity. Temperature got to 500 degrees in the elements within 40 minutes. When I dropped the temperature down to 250 after searing, the Beast held steady at 250 for most of the time. Low of 248, high of 255. Considering the elements, this is outstanding! I have yet to set up the wi-fi option; I am waiting for the temperature to rise above zero degrees. Very pleased with performance at this time. One small hiccup, super smoke only works at 160 degrees. When I set it to super smoke for halibut on Saturday night, the temperature dropped and the unit automatically shut off due to low temperature. Would like the super smoke option to happen around 190-220 for slow smoking. However, this is not a reason not to acquire this Beast. I would change the name of this unit officially on your website to "Beast" instead of multitasker. In the bar-b--que/smoking world, Beast is not offensive. Keep up the great job!

This grill is currently one of the best values available ANYWHERE. This is a top notch unit. It is huge, extremely sturdy, easy to build and great quality all around. The double-walled construction means it reaches temps very quickly, and holds them easily. In fact once set to a temperature it is within a couple degrees for as long as the unit is on. Everything I have cooked on this has been absolutely amazing. The "Super Smoke" and "Keep Warm" modes are great to have. The former will make TONS of smoke while the temps swing back and forth between 160-200F, and the latter is the perfect setting to let your meat "rest", and will hold a good temp until you re ready to serve. In spite of the gigantic size the grill is very efficient and uses pellets sparingly. I doubt I will be buying much barbeque anymore since I can make my own for a fraction of the price. My only complaints are so minor it cannot lose a star! I would love to see hooks for accessories, though magnet hooks on the hopper bin will work well. And a under-grill access to the firepot would have been nice for cleanout, but it's not terribly tough to get there through the grill and this encourages keeping the racks and deflector clean as well. If you are on the fence I would say buy it. I doubt you will be disappointed.

In order to compare apples to apples I opted for and old standby. The 3-2-1 pork spare rib smoke. Executed countless times on my old smoker. 2 racks of ribs covers with my favorite rub (it’s mine, sorry…get your own). Set the smoker up at 225 DegF…temp control on this smoker is great. Monitored on the app and had a 2-3 DegF deviation and the majority of the time dead on 225. The result…WOW…WOW…All I can say is…WOW!!! The Z Grill definitely showed its colors. Temperature control spot on. Speaking of the App…it needs some work…nothing that other reviews haven’t pointed out. Work on some updates. Next smoke will be some beef cheeks (Barbacoa!!!). This is a definite upgrade from my Pit Boss…

I currently own 2 other stick smokers and wanted to try a pellet grill. Our friend swore by his Z grill and convinced me to look at it. Sam's had the best deal around but, it took 3 months to catch it in stock. It finally arrived last week in perfect condition. I was surprised how heavy and well-built it was and how easy it went together. This thing is so simple to operate my wife is cooking on it. We have smoked a whole chicken and a slab of ribs so far this week and both turned out amazing.

Good construction and relatively simple to put together. Good price. I was able to get it to heat to 476 degrees f. On the flaws side, I have not been able to connect to WIFI even after trying all the tutorials. Also, the cover that came with it was is difficult to fit.
