We like the Z Grills ZPG-600D+ for the mix: a family-size 572 sq in grate, a way to sear over open flame and PID temperature control. It suits steak lovers who also want low-and-slow, and its sibling listing, the Z Grills 600D2 8-in-1, holds #3 in our small pellet grill ranking.
The same model in other versions, each with its own page.

Rated 6.9/10 on its documented specs. Made for steak lovers who also want low-and-slow.
The Z Grills ZPG-600D+ next to the two pellet grills rated closest to it.
Listings usually count the upper rack too, so measure your biggest cook against the main grate.
The sweet spot for most backyards: a weeknight dinner for four, or a Saturday brisket with room for a few sausages next to it.
The classic pellet grill weak spot is the sear. This one lets the flame reach the food, so steaks and smash burgers get a real crust.
A PID controller feeds pellets in small, constant corrections, so the temperature swings less when the wind picks up or you open the lid.
Set it, close the lid, go and do something else: that is the pellet grill deal. Without WiFi you check the controller in person, which most people do with a drink in hand anyway.
Steak night stops being the weak spot: the direct-flame option lets the fire reach the meat, so you get a crust and not just smoke.
A family of four, with room for guests on Saturday. 572 sq in fits ribs and a tray of wings at the same time, without being so big that a Tuesday dinner looks lost on it.
The listing gives no hopper size, so keep a bag of pellets next to it for long cooks.
These points come from the seller's own listing, so read them as the brand's claims.
Assembly day. Plan an hour or two with a second pair of hands. Most manuals ask for a first burn-in before the first cook.
Its spot. Level ground, a few feet from the wall and anything that can melt, an outlet in reach. A cover keeps the pellets and the controller dry between cooks.

We like the Z Grills ZPG-600D+ for a family-size 572 sq in grate and a way to sear over open flame. No buyer reviews yet, so the Z Grills ZPG-600D+ has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Z Grills ZPG-600D+: no stated temperature range, while most models here give one. We'd pick the Z Grills ZPG-600D+ if you cook for the family most weeks and for friends now and then; otherwise, put it next to the Brisk It Zelos-450 first.
Before the Z Grills ZPG-600D+ goes in your basket, check the temperature range: the listing gives no range, so ask the seller how low and how hot it goes.
572 sq in is stated, often the main grate and the upper rack added together. Measure your biggest cook (two briskets? six racks of ribs?) and lay it out in our grate area planner.
It plugs into a regular outdoor outlet for the igniter, the fan and the auger. A grounded outlet close by beats a long extension cord.
No hopper size is stated. Keep a bag of pellets next to the grill for long cooks and check the level now and then.
Plan to vacuum the ash out of the fire pot every few cooks, and keep the grease tray clean: that is where most flare-ups start.
How the Z Grills ZPG-600D+ stacks up against the closest alternative, the Brisk It Zelos-450.
| Criterion | Z Grills ZPG-600D+ | Brisk It Zelos-450 |
|---|---|---|
| Our rating | 6.9/10 | 6.9/10 |
| Cooking area | 572 sq in | 450 sq in |
| Temperature range | Not stated | 180–500°F |
| Direct-flame searing | Stated | Not stated |
| WiFi app | Not stated | Stated |
Both score 6.9/10. The Brisk It Zelos-450 adds a wider stated range (180–500°F) and WiFi app control, while the Z Grills ZPG-600D+ brings more cooking space (572 sq in) and a direct-flame sear option.
We rate it 6.9/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Its listing states 572 sq in of cooking space, a direct-flame sear option, a PID controller and 8-in-1 cooking. Those are the seller's figures; how it holds temperature in your own wind and weather can't be read from a listing.
How much you really cook: 572 sq in is stated, often the main grate and the upper rack added together. Measure your biggest cook (two briskets? six racks of ribs?) and lay it out in our grate area planner. Power at the spot: it plugs into a regular outdoor outlet for the igniter, the fan and the auger. A grounded outlet close by beats a long extension cord. Pellets and long cooks: no hopper size is stated. Keep a bag of pellets next to the grill for long cooks and check the level now and then. Cleaning: plan to vacuum the ash out of the fire pot every few cooks, and keep the grease tray clean: that is where most flare-ups start.
