Z Grills Just Added An Important Feature To Their Pellet Grills/Smokers

Hi, I’m Chris. About Me

The key reason pellet grills and smokers have grown in popularity in recent years is that they offer a low effort and time-saving means to cook delicious BBQ. One feature that many potential pellet grill/smoker owners are now looking for is the ability to monitor their grill and adjust temperature with their phone. Therefore, they’ll need a model with WiFi connectivity.

These are by no means the first Z Grill models that feature WiFi connectivity. Their premium models, as part of their ‘WiFi Series,’ hit the market several years ago.

However, those models are at a price point of around and over a thousand dollars. These latest WiFi Z Grills models are at a lower price point.

The Flagship 700D4E WiFi is one of the new Z Grills models to feature a WiFi controller

However, Z Grills has not just updated these models with WiFi connectivity they have also made changes to their PID temperature algorithms. These models now have 5-degree temperature adjustment, which matches the capabilities of models such as the Traeger Pro 575 at a higher price point.

This Z Grill controller not only gets WiFi connectivity, it also now gets 5 degrees temperature adjustment
The Z Grills 1000D4E ‘BBQ Legend’ now also has WiFi connectivity with a price point well under a thousand dollars
The controller fitted to the 1000D4E may have a different appearance to the 700D4E. However, it still has WiFi connectivity and 5 degree temperature adjustment

So, at this point, you’re probably wondering how these latest WiFi Z Grills pellet grills compare against the competition. Well, that’s a big question, and its one you can answer yourself with the help of our database.

What I will say is that with these additional features of WiFi connectivity and a PID controller that now provides 5-degree temperature adjustment, these Z Grills models are making themselves much more competitive options against similarly priced models from brands such as Pit Boss etc.

However, while these improvements are good to see, its disappointing that Z Grills has not improved their maximum temperature setting above 450 degrees. Especially since these models don’t have direct-flame access to compensate for their relatively low maximum temperature setting.
