Our take on the Z Grills 550B 8-in-1 Wood Pellet Grill

The Z Grills 550B is an 8-in-1 wood pellet grill with a PID controller that holds 160–450 °F, electronic ignition and a digital thermometer. It offers 560 sq. in. of total cooking space across two porcelain-coated steel racks, enough for about 22 burgers, and runs on an 8 lb hopper.

Questions and answers

Is the Z Grills 550B worth it?
At $319.99 at Home Depot as of November 5, 2026, it is a low-cost way to get PID temperature control and 560 sq. in. of cooking space. It suits beginners and casual smokers more than people who need high-heat searing.
How does the 550B compare with the 700 series?
The 700-series Z Grills add cooking area and a larger hopper, which helps on long cooks. The 550B is smaller and cheaper, so pick it if space and budget matter more than capacity.
How long does the 8 lb hopper last?
Expect roughly 5 to 8 hours at smoking temperatures, depending on weather and setting. For overnight brisket or pork butt, plan to refill or use a hopper extension.
Can the 550B sear steaks?
It tops out at 450 °F, so it can finish steaks but won't give a hard cast-iron sear. Use a sear kit or a hot pan on the grate for a crust.
What's in the box?
The grill ships with the two porcelain-coated cooking racks, digital temperature probe and controller, and the freestanding cart. Pellets are not included.
When is the 550B cheapest?
Pellet grills usually drop around spring grilling events, Memorial Day, July 4 and Black Friday. The current $319.99 at Home Depot is already near the low end of its recent range.
