With over 30 years of experience in manufacturing pellet grills for other companies, Z Grills was officially established in 2017 as one of the most affordable brands in the market.
Their stainless steel ZPG-7002E Wood Pellet Grill offers 8-in-1 versatility by allowing you to grill, BBQ, roast, braise, bake, smoke, sear, and char-grill on just one grill. Besides this, Z Grills uses porcelain-coated cast-iron cooking grids for durability and includes a heavy-duty wheel to move the grill.
It offers a primary cooking area of 504 square inches and an additional warming rack that bumps the capacity to about 700 square inches. The grill is exceptionally easy-to-use and includes an automatic electrical ignition for faster start-up. With the waste oil collector, you can clean the pellet grill quickly and safely.
Along with this, you get a massive 20-pound hopper with an automatic auger to feed the pellets into the grill for optimum smoke. A fan allows the heat to distribute evenly inside the chamber for precise temperature control.
Moreover, the digital control board helps you adjust the temperature between 180 to 450°F and displays it on the LED screen. Being the best pellet grill under $500, it keeps the temperature variation under 10 degrees.
