Z Grills Wood Pellet Grill Smoker
Score: 78/100
Traeger Pro 575
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Traeger Pro 575 adds Wi-Fi connectivity and a higher 500 °F temperature ceiling to a generous 575 sq in cooking surface. Its substantial weight and need for a nearby power outlet limit portability. Best for cooks who value smart control and high-heat searing.
The Z Grills ZPG-700D provides a generous 697 sq in cooking surface, a 20-lb pellet hopper, and PID control for consistent results, making it ideal for larger gatherings. Its heavy weight, lack of Wi-Fi connectivity, and a temperature ceiling of 450 °F are notable compromises.
