Rated 7.2/10, #3 of 5 in our Small Pellet Grills ranking. Made for easing into wood-fired cooking.
The Z Grills 600D2 8-in-1 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.
From 180°F for low-and-slow smoking to 450°F for roasting: the range most backyard cooks actually use.
A PID controller feeds pellets in small, constant corrections, so the temperature swings less when the wind picks up or you open the lid.
You set a temperature, the controller feeds the pellets, and you get your afternoon back. No app here, so you will walk out now and then to read the controller.
Low-and-slow is its home turf. With 450°F at the top, a hard sear on a steak is not what it is built for.
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.

Feeding more people? The Pit Boss Navigator 6-Series Vertical lists 2,224 sq in of cooking space (9.2/10).
Want to watch the cook from your phone? The Traeger Pro 780 has WiFi (9.3/10).
Steak night matters more than brisket? The Pit Boss 500 FB2 adds a direct-flame sear (7.9/10).
What we'd buy the Z Grills 600D2 8-in-1 for is 572 sq in of cooking space, with a stated 180–450°F range as a bonus. No buyer reviews yet, so this Z Grills pellet grill has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Z Grills: no word on the warranty. We'd pick it if you cook for the family most weeks and for friends now and then; otherwise, put it next to the Pit Boss 500 FB2 first.
Before the Z Grills 600D2 8-in-1 goes in your basket, check whether you will miss WiFi: there is no app here, so long cooks mean walking out to read the controller.
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.

Pick the Pit Boss 500 FB2 if you want our higher-rated option (7.9/10), with a bigger hopper (5 lb) and a wider stated range (180–500°F); stay with the Z Grills 600D2 8-in-1 for more cooking space (572 sq in).
We rate it 7.2/10 (good), #3 of 5 in our small pellet grill ranking. 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 stated 180–450°F range, 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.
