Our take on the Z Grills 8-in-1 Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker

The Z Grills 8-in-1 is a freestanding wood pellet grill and smoker with 553 sq in of total cooking space, an 8 lb hopper and a digital PID controller with a large LCD screen. It runs on electricity, lights itself, and holds two meat probes so you can monitor brisket and ribs without opening the lid. The 406 sq in main grate fits about 22 burgers, and the 147 sq in upper rack adds room for sides. At $297.97 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, well under the $400-$500 this size class usually asks.

Pros
  • 553 sq in total cooking area handles a full packer brisket plus sides
  • Advanced PID 3.0 controller holds temperature within about +/- 20°F
  • Large LCD screen and two meat probes included
  • 8-in-1 cooking modes cover grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise, sear, char-grill and warm
  • 77 lb steel body with wheels is easy to move for a full-size grill
  • Electric ignition starts the fire without a chimney or lighter fluid
Cons
  • 8 lb hopper is small for long cooks; expect to refill on 12-hour smokes
  • Needs a power outlet, so it is not a tailgate or campsite grill
  • Porcelain-coated steel grates need care to avoid chips and rust
  • No built-in wifi or app control; monitoring is at the grill
  • Sear performance is modest compared with a gas or charcoal grill

Questions and answers

Is the Z Grills 8-in-1 worth it at $297.97?
Yes, if you want a full-size pellet grill with PID control and probes without spending $500 or more. At $297.97 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it is near the bottom of its recent price range. Check that the seller includes the warranty before buying.
How does it compare with a Traeger or Pit Boss?
It matches the basic layout of a Traeger Pro Series at a lower price, with a smaller hopper than most Pit Boss models. You give up wifi and app control that higher-end Traegers offer. Temperature accuracy is comparable for backyard cooking.
How long does the 8 lb hopper last?
Roughly 8 to 12 hours at 225°F depending on outside temperature and wind, so a full overnight brisket may need one refill. At 350°F or higher, expect closer to 4 to 6 hours.
Does it need electricity?
Yes. The auger, fan and controller run on a standard outlet, so you need power within cord reach. It will not work during an outage or off-grid.
What comes in the box?
The grill body, legs and wheels, porcelain-coated grates, upper rack, two meat probes, a grease bucket and the power cord. Pellets are not included, so buy a bag before the first cook.
When is it cheapest?
Pellet grills drop around Memorial Day, Labor Day and Black Friday. The current $297.97 at eBay as of November 5, 2026 is already below the typical $350-$450 range, so waiting for a deeper cut may not pay off.
