I have a smaller Traeger that I love. We love to host friends and family as much as possible and this Z Grill 1000 series was the perfect match for our Traeger. The cooking space allows us to grill for many guests. We can put a brisket on the Smaller Traeger and use the Z Grill to serve pounds and pounds if chicken, sausage, burgers. You name it! We grilled crab, shrimp, sausage, cod and veggies on the Z the other night and it was the best flavor! Love this Z!
