Overview
The Z Grills ZPG-7002C Upgrade is a pellet smoker measuring 33 x 25 x 22 in and weighing 61.69 lb, finished in black and brown. It has a 4.0 rating from 91 reviews.
This is the lighter of the two Z Grills pellet units in this lineup, at roughly half the weight of the ZPGN-700D6, which points to a smaller cooking chamber even though exact cooking area is not listed.
- Pellet fuel type
- 33 x 25 x 22 in dimensions
- 61.69 lb weight
- Black and brown finish
Who it's for
Buyers wanting a pellet smoker that is easier to lift and reposition than a full-size cabinet model. Not the choice for anyone needing a large-capacity cooking chamber, since dimensions suggest a compact footprint.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Pellet fuel for steadier temperature holding
- Lighter and more portable than larger pellet smokers
- Compact 33 x 25 x 22 in footprint
- No cooking area figure listed to gauge capacity
- 4.0 rating trails the higher-rated ZPGN-700D6 in the same lineup
Performance notes
At under 62 lb, this unit is meaningfully lighter than larger pellet smokers, which trades off against total cooking capacity since the listing gives no separate cooking area figure to confirm how much food it holds per run.
