Overview
Z Grills built the VC-7002B as a pellet smoker, not a quick-heat grill, with 697 sq in of alloy steel cooking space in a black finish and a footprint sized for a fixed spot on the patio.
Z Grills has built its lineup around wood pellet fuel, and the VC-7002B carries that into a smoker-style cabinet rather than a barrel grill. At 112 lb and a 48 x 22 x 51 in footprint it is sized to stay put rather than move often. The 697 sq in of cooking area gives room for a full brisket plus racks of ribs in the same session.
- 697 sq in alloy steel cooking area
- Pellet fuel system
- Black finish
- 48 x 22 x 51 in footprint, 112 lb
Who it's for
Suits someone who wants to smoke meat over several hours using pellets rather than tending charcoal or propane. Not aimed at buyers who want a fast weeknight grill, since this is built as a smoker.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 697 sq in fits a brisket and racks together
- Pellet feed avoids constant charcoal tending
- Alloy steel cabinet built for long cooks
- 112 lb weight makes it hard to relocate
- No digital controls or accessories listed
Performance notes
Pellet smokers like this feed fuel from a hopper into a firebox to hold a steady low temperature over long cooks, which is the appeal over charcoal or propane for smoking. The alloy steel build and 112 lb weight point to a cabinet meant to retain heat rather than a lightweight portable unit.
