Cooking space, per the listing

Listings usually count the upper rack too, so measure your biggest cook against the main grate.

What it has going for it

572 sq in

The sweet spot for most backyards: a weeknight dinner for four, or a Saturday brisket with room for a few sausages next to it.

180–450°F

From 180°F for low-and-slow smoking to 450°F for roasting: the range most backyard cooks actually use.

PID controller

A PID controller feeds pellets in small, constant corrections, so the temperature swings less when the wind picks up or you open the lid.

What changes on cook day

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.

Weeknights or the whole crew?

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.

Best for you if

  • You cook for the family most weeks and for friends now and then
  • You want the temperature to hold steady on long cooks

Skip it if

  • You want to watch the cook from your phone: this one has no WiFi
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

Setup and what you get

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. Support around the clock, according to the seller

These are the seller's promises, not ours. Keep your order confirmation, and ask who handles repairs before you order the Z Grills 600D2 (PID 3.0).

The verdict

Our favourite thing about the Z Grills 600D2 (PID 3.0) is 572 sq in of cooking space, closely followed by a stated 180–450°F range. No buyer reviews yet, so the Z Grills 600D2 (PID 3.0) has to win you over on paper. Where it falls short: no WiFi, while most of this list has it. We'd pick this Z Grills pellet grill 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.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the Z Grills 600D2 (PID 3.0) 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.

Before you buy

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.
