I was skeptical about buying a z grill after comparing about 5 different pellet grills. I love to smoke meat I always used charcoal before. But after a few different dishes cooked on my z grill, I'm glad I made the purchase. I use it every other day and I haven't been disappointed yet. It's very easy to use . I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in buying a good quality pellet grill without spending alot of money.
