Rated 7.1/10 on its documented specs. Made for backyard cooks who want wood flavour, easily.
The Z Grills 7002C 8-in-1 Electric next to the two pellet grills rated closest to it.
Fed by a 28 lb hopper. 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.
With 2 probes in the box you follow two cuts at once without lifting the lid.
A family of four, with room for guests on Saturday. 697 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 28 lb hopper covers an overnight cook.
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.
Warranty & support. 3-year warranty, as stated in the listing
These are the seller's promises, not ours. Keep your order confirmation, and ask who handles repairs before you order the Z Grills 7002C 8-in-1 Electric.

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).
Our favourite thing about the Z Grills 7002C 8-in-1 Electric is 697 sq in of cooking space, closely followed by a stated 180–450°F range. No buyer reviews yet, so the Z Grills 7002C 8-in-1 Electric has to win you over on paper. The catch with this Z Grills pellet grill: no WiFi, while most of this list has it. We'd pick the Z Grills if you cook for the family most weeks and for friends now and then; otherwise, put it next to the Pit Boss 500 Carbon Series first.
Before the Z Grills 7002C 8-in-1 Electric 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.
697 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.
The hopper holds 28 lb. How long that lasts depends on the temperature and the weather, so keep a bag next to the grill for long low-and-slow cooks.
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 7002C 8-in-1 Electric stacks up against the closest alternative, the Pit Boss 500 Carbon Series.
| Criterion | Z Grills 7002C 8-in-1 Electric | Pit Boss 500 Carbon Series |
|---|---|---|
| Our rating | 7.1/10 | 7.1/10 |
| Cooking area | 697 sq in | 543 sq in |
| Hopper | 28 lb | 13.5 lb |
| Temperature range | 180–450°F | 180–500°F |
| PID controller | Stated | Not stated |
Both score 7.1/10. The Pit Boss 500 Carbon Series adds a wider stated range (180–500°F), while the Z Grills 7002C 8-in-1 Electric brings more cooking space (697 sq in) and a bigger hopper (28 lb).
We rate it 7.1/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Its listing states 697 sq in of cooking space, a stated 180–450°F range, a PID controller, 2 meat probes in the box, a 28 lb hopper 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: 697 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: the hopper holds 28 lb. How long that lasts depends on the temperature and the weather, so keep a bag next to the grill for long low-and-slow cooks. 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.
