Fired up a new 11002B today from Sam's for $699 Did 8 biscuits at 350* for 13 minutes... All 8 were cooked the same and turned out perfect. Very impressed so far.
Heck ya Greg!! I am very happy to see Z Grills start building some bigger pits as well!! Good company trying to always improve their products!! Best a buyer can ask for!!! Thanks for watching bro!!!
My man with the plan throwing down. First off, Thanks for the shout out!!! Now on to this pit!! I think its pretty awesome. Love the size and control pannel. It seems to add a nice touch of smoke and runs like a tank! Looking forward to round two with this bad boy!!! Cheers. Talk Soon my brother!
Love ZGrills, it was my first one a couple yrs ago. No issues of any kind, however, I did upgrade to a Yoder YS640s few months ago and gave ZGrills to my dad. Looks like a nice unit, love all your videos keep em coming!!! 🤘🏻
Heck ya Eric!! I am very impressed with this pit so far! Now I still got to cook on it but the way it ran seemed to be pretty solid!! Thanks for watching and that Bronco is dreaming of a new home!!! ha haha
Purchased one a couple nights ago. My favorite grill so far. Everything has turned out amazing and the super smoke button works great. Not quite the smoke of my wood burners but enough to not have to use them either. I might end up selling all my grills and just use this one going forward. Way better than my pit boss platinum.
Ya Lance I got 2 pits still in their boxes and 1 one it way to the Nation headquarters. Lots of new pits to share with the NAtion this year! I am very impressed with this new Z Grills pit!! Thanks for watching brother!
Another great video ..I still haven't watched your Pit Boss 1600 elite brisket ..I have been on vacation ..wanted to be focused when I watched it..can't wait to watch in a couple of days
Wow this looks like a pretty solid offering from Z Grills. Sort of like the Weber Smokefire, only with a design that doesn't cause the dreaded grease fires.
I know this pit will get the job done!!! Z Grills definitely upped their game with this one! I like the double walled construction, the 5 degree increments and the extra smoke and keep warm. I don't like that stationary shelf and just like the PB it's too narrow especially with that lid handle right there taking up space..... Tommy did a great job on the assembly! Definitely not my next pellet grill :) BUT, I can't wait to see it go up against Baby Huey and/or Godzilla!
Heck ya Kevin!! I am very impressed with this pit and hope to get its first cook under its belt soon! But I still got 3 pits sitting in their boxes still so ugh I got so many videos to get done!!! Thanks for watching brother and finally I got a little time to reply to everyone!!! hahaha
Great video! Looking forward to your overall thoughts once you have a couple cooks on it. This is high up on my list as being my first pellet grill. Let us know how long it takes to get up to high temps, any known hot spot issues, how it will do for grilling as well. Thanks!
AWESOME VIDEO! I’m picking up an 11002b next week and am pumped. You sound like you’re from the Midwest or somewhere north. I’m from Wisconsin so it’s nice to find someone not from the South smoking and BBQing. New sub!
Well I am also from Wisconsin! hahaha Glad to have another Wisconsinite on board!!! You will be very happy with the Multitasker and I thought I saw them on sale at Sam's club not 100% sure though but you might want to check that out! Thanks for watching!!
Looks like a nice pit. Can't wait to see it do a few cooks. I sure wish I came with an easy dump panel once in a while. Would make being in the 50's not as bad...LOL (had to throw in some type of humor or you'd think I was an imposter Troy haha). Thanks Ricer!
Hahahaha I want and easy dump too!! Ya this video I was Mr. Serious I guess!!!??! Nothing funny popped out of my mouth on this one!!! ha ha Thanks for watching brother!!!
Whoever said they paid $699 for this Grill is not telling the truth it's 1497 dollars and when they have their $372 sale minus some taxes you're looking at about 1147 covering the apron the gloves the bamboo boards the meat probes the grill cover and I think one of the thing I can't remember but this thing is amazing wait till you have it at home it is massive you feel like you're standing next to a Ferrari in your backyard and you feel Pride for your backyard and your home and what you're about to cook thank you so much Zgrills.
I saw it on sale for $700 for 2 weeks. Not through ZGrills website but some small hardware store chain. It is a very nice pellet grill. Thanks for watching!
Just got mine through Sam's $699 (yeah was cheaper 9 mos ago but still a steal), The thing is a "tank". Super solid and heavy. Just "feels" quality. Really only thing suspect is the electronics. My control board outta the box was all wonky, flashing weird characters. The app worked and Z sent me a new controller. Got new controller in yesterday. Thing holds temps like a rock. Except the app is all wonky reporting all kinda weird stuff but now the control on the unit is fine. Sent them email but, may try uninstalling the app and reinstalling. Otherwise the thing is a champ
Great video brother!! It was very informative. Only problem now is your making my decision more difficult on upgrading from my PB 1600S1. Lol. Looking forward to seeing how it performs on those chucks!!
Heck ya Mark!!! I know I can't wait to actually filma cook video on this pit!!! Ugh all these unboxing and assemblies are piling up!! Thanks for watching brother!!
I have been very impressed so far and this is very similar to the last Traeger Timberline model but half the price. The new Traeger will be here soon but that pit is crazy expensive!!!
I know this is an older video, but I am curious on why you didn't do any vid's of cooks on this pellet grill. You said at the end of this vid that you were going to do a chuck roast, but from what I can tell you didn't do any cooks at all. I am in the process of buying one.
This video was filmed back before I became a full time content creator, so I only filmed when I had free time. I actually used this pit 10 or 15 times and it did a decent job. I ended up giving it to a friend who still uses it. I have had a couple people mention in the comments a couple issues they have had (you will need to go through them to see because I can't remember). But this pit is basically a Traeger Timberline 1300. Thanks for watching but again, I never had any issues with mine and it is still running today.
Thank you so much for your video for the burn in would have damaged by powder coating I do not listen to your tip your dad gave you about doing the burning for 30 minutes at 275° not to damage the powder coating I did so and then did the 30 minutes at 500 workout beautiful thank you so much for your videos love to watch them keep them coming by the way if anyone wants to know the maximum temperature I was able to hit in the grill today in Arizona 100° out in the shade though here's a picture 561 degrees before the PID started taking over and bringing it back down to 500 once you preheat this Grill and run it for 5 more minutes the temperature always stays perfect other girls I hear 5° swing 10° Swing 20-degree Swing this barbecue 0° swing it stays on temperature baby jumps up 1 degree in back down never more than that almost always at the perfect temperature sorry Traeger Timberline XL sorry Weber smoke-fire this Grill has you beat in every way then do what I'm doing customize it the whole front shelf is now custom bamboo wood Z grills looks beautiful 0:16
Have you had any issues with the temp increasing on the grill slowly? I cooked some wings on it and it takes forever to get the temp back up to the set temp after opening the lid. That’s even with holding the Prime button for a couple minutes. Not sure what may be causing the issue, but my old 700 series use to get back up to the set temp quickly after closing the lid after it was opened
I have not, give their customer service a call. I actually do not have that pit anymore but a good friend of mine does and he has been cranking out the product with no issues!!! Thanks for watching!!
love thevideos. Any chance you can review the pb150 from lowes and cook a pork butt on it. noone has done a pork butt review and id like to know your opnion
Well Dave I keep them for a year and then sell them or some go to my storage shed incase I need to make another video on them in the future. I got several more sitting in their boxes yet. Thanks for watching!
I've had the Multitasker for 3 months and it does an amazing job smoking meat. My only complaint is the Wi-Fi has never worked, all troubleshooting steps have failed and their support doesn't respond.
Someone in the review section of Z Grills website said try turning off the security settings on your router if you're having trouble getting it to connect. I don't own an 11002B yet and have just been doing some research before I buy so I can't comment on if that's the fix, but maybe worth a try if it wasn't already covered in troubleshooting. Hope this helps.
@@johnrhines3473 Oh yeah, completely understandable and I agree. From what I gathered from the Z Grills post, it seems the poster was saying to temporarily open the network long enough to establish the initial connection, basically allowing the 2 devices to complete a "handshake" and then you can turn the security settings back on. I had a similar experience getting an Inkbird IBBQ-4T to connect. I'm looking to pull the trigger on one of these 11002B's soon and if I have the same connection issues I'll revisit this post. (If there's a weird problem with something, I'm one of those guys who ALWAYS experiences it LOL).
I like the Z Grills pit because it can hold a little more than the Pit Boss and larger hotel pans. The Traeger is overpriced. The Pit Boss is a little more versatile because of the flame broiler. But they all have good things about them even the way overpriced Traeger so if you are only going to smoke then both the Z Grills and the Pit Boss are great options. If you want a little flame to grill then it is the Pit Boss. Thanks for watching!! I might do a video but I got a bunch of stuff I need to get rolling on! I took a couple months off for family time!!
Hi Keith I have cooked on this pit many times and I really like it! I think they are being sold at Sam's club for $500-----go get one NOW!!! It is basically the Timberline 1300 and that is still a better pit than the new Timberline XL!!! I seriously hope in the next month to film a cook using it! It can feed an army!!!
Great Video! I have a Pit Boss 1150 and a Gravity Series 800. I prefer the Gravity Series for steaks, burgers and the occasional use of the griddle. I like my Pitt Boss, don't love it, I have upgraded my control module, I hate the grill grates, definitely dislike the flame broiler slide. in your opinion would like new 11002B be a comparable replacement, or what would you go with, Traeger, New Pit Boss Stainless, etc..? I only need about 1100 sq./in total or 700 - 800 on the bottom.
Wow Aaron I am so sorry I missed this comment brother! Ok so here is my 2 cents!!! Save and save a little more and get a Lone Star Grillz!!! I love this new ZGrills but man if you really want a pit to last forever my LSG aka Godzilla is a buy once cry once lifetime pit!!! I am dropping the new Timberline tomorrow and it is a nice pit but not $4000 nice!!!!!! The New Pit Boss Elite is a great option if you just want a new pit! I love the smoke mode feature and I have been very happy with the results!!!
I appreciate the breakdown on getting these started. Question…I got the 11002B and am doing the 30 min burn at 275. But the temp has now climbed to 318 and appears to Still be climbing. . Is this a sign that mine is going to have problem holding temps?
It is kind of normal for pellet grills to climb above the set temp and when it is preheated, it will tend to level off. Temp swings are normal and really not an issue. My offset has temp swings too. Thanks for watching and if it gets higher than 50 all the time, call customer service.
@@ShaneDizzin no it evened out. I opened the lid a few minutes and it kind of reset itself. Then fired up last night to cook a brisket overnight and it held on the super smoke setting at 165 or whatever the entire night. It held within 3-4 degrees at 200 and 250 also to finish. So far, so good!
@@aover7220 beautiful ! mine ended up evening out as well, I let it sit based on you having the same issue and not saying it went bad after lol I'm gonna need to cook myself a brisket like that as well!
Does anyone know where to get grease trays and grease covers to protect the drip pans for this model (11002B)? ZGrill doesn't seem to offer them, or am I stuck using aluminum foil for ever???
I am hoping to do one soon! I got a couple more videos to shoot but then I should be on to the comparison videos again!!! Oh and ca couple cook videos!
Ya I got plans to match it up with a couple pits for sure! I got a bunch to still introduce to the Nation first but hopefully next month I can do a few comparison videos!!
Well I only used it once so far but it was pretty empty after the burn off. It will interesting to see how it goes once I start cooking on it!! Thanks for watching!
I am thinking for the price, it will cook better than the Pitboss.....New to all this was interested in the timberline xl but for that price I don't think so
Time will tell for sure! I got a Timberline XL coming in Friday. That pit IMO is over priced but I can't say that 100% until I cook on it!! Thanks for watching E!!! Glad to have you watching the video bro and cookers are are hard to pick but go with what you like but do the research before you swipe!
Hey Ricer, Not many folks have the 11002b and I was wondering if you are having an issue with the app reading one temp and the pit reading another. I've contacted Z Grills and they are saying it's my WiFi. Just wondering.
Hi Steven I have to admit I still haven't even cooked on the Multitasker yet. I got a bunch of pits in all during the same 2 week period so I am still getting them all assembled and doing the burn offs still!!!!hhahaa Hope to get back on the pit in a couple weeks. I can say I have had issues with wifi with other pits because my router is a little further away and if I have a weak signal it will sometimes throw things off a tad. Thanks for watching but I promise eventually I will test the wifi.
Hey brother how is this grill . I have a camp chef I love it. Never let me down. But I need a new big grill. Do you know anything about recteq! What is your out look
I like it and sometimes you can get it for a really good price. With that said, I have had a few comments lately that people have had issues with theirs and they can't get parts right now?!?!?! The new Camp Chef Woodwind Pro is a way better pit IMO. Thanks for watching!!
Bro I have to be honest, I still haven'y cooked on it yet!! I saw your comment before about this!! I promise I will see if I can figure it out when I finally get back to some cooking videos!! I still got more pits to unbox!!! ugh!!!
hmmmm that SUCKS!!! this is a really good pit, STAY on them or maybe they could just exchange the whole unit??? Z Grills is typically pretty good about fixing the issue!!!
Buy it right NOW!!! That is a steal for that pit!! I like mine and promise to do a few videos on it again!!! I use it all the time for the larger catering cooks I do from time to time!! Thanks for watching!!
Sad fact they ain't going to get any cheaper either. But this Z Grills pit is pretty much last years Traeger Timberline for half the price. I am seriously impressed with the chamber on this pit and can't wait to cook on it! With the cost of steel and everything else involved in the world the top pits by each brand will be $1,200-$2,000. I know it sucks but still cheaper than a good 1/4" offset. Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ yea, I hear ya, the prices are here to stay. Good thing I got my ole trusty kettle grill. Great production level on your vids, by the way. 🤙🏼
Fired up a new 11002B today from Sam's for $699 Did 8 biscuits at 350* for 13 minutes... All 8 were cooked the same and turned out perfect. Very impressed so far.
Awesome!!! This is a nice pit and basically a clone of the Traeger Timberline 1300. Thanks for watching!!
$699? Wow! I just paid over $1200 from ZGrill!
I just ordered this pit a few days ago... So glad you have it so I can follow all your cooks on it!
How is it running??? I am so swamped with assembly video I still haven't had a chance to cook on mine yet!!!! ugh
Lots of competition in the pellet grill market these days. This is definitely a benefit for consumers. So many great innovations coming out.
Ya everyone is stepping up to the plate Rusty!! I told the boys just wait in a few years there will be one that flips the burgers for ya!!! ha haha
Yeah man, I don't think there's any better bang-for-the-buck than a Z Grill. Never ceases to impress. Great video Jeff!

Yeo Z Grills are work horses! I have been pleased with everyone I have gotten!! Congrats on the Yoder brother!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Excellent production Jeff! This model of the Z Grills is pretty impressive looking! Love the double walled insulated construction!

@@DeadBrokeBBQ Ruds???? You need to slow down brother, hahaha
Just picked up my multi tasker last night and am currently following your steps! Thanks brother!
Awesome!!! Have fun and you might as well cook something!!!! Enjoy the new pit and hanks for letting me know!!
Wow. A keep warm setting for resting. That is awesome. Great idea Z grillz.
Heck ya I can't wait to try it out!!! Thanks for watching!!
That is a sweet looking pit. Nice bang for your buck. I love the double wall construction

@@DeadBrokeBBQ I'm excited for the one on its way. I'd bet my last dollar it uses a different fuel.
Another great video ..I still haven't watched your Pit Boss 1600 elite brisket ..I have been on vacation ..wanted to be focused when I watched it..can't wait to watch in a couple of days
Little hint----make sure you have eaten first because that one even makes me drool!! Thanks for watching and enjoy that vacation!!

Just bought one from Sam’s club. On sale 499.99 wow! I never thought I would own a zgrill
Heck ya that is a fantastic deal for sure!! This is a really good running pit so far for me!
Just ordered one Ricer really looking forward to it
Awesome bro!! Very nice pit!!
Ohhh hell yeah. I can see it now, Pit Boss 1600 vs this Z grills. I think your about due for a good Mortal Combat video again!!

Great Video! I have a Pit Boss 1150 and a Gravity Series 800. I prefer the Gravity Series for steaks, burgers and the occasional use of the griddle. I like my Pitt Boss, don't love it, I have upgraded my control module, I hate the grill grates, definitely dislike the flame broiler slide. in your opinion would like new 11002B be a comparable replacement, or what would you go with, Traeger, New Pit Boss Stainless, etc..? I only need about 1100 sq./in total or 700 - 800 on the bottom.
Wow Aaron I am so sorry I missed this comment brother! Ok so here is my 2 cents!!! Save and save a little more and get a Lone Star Grillz!!! I love this new ZGrills but man if you really want a pit to last forever my LSG aka Godzilla is a buy once cry once lifetime pit!!! I am dropping the new Timberline tomorrow and it is a nice pit but not $4000 nice!!!!!! The New Pit Boss Elite is a great option if you just want a new pit! I love the smoke mode feature and I have been very happy with the results!!!
I appreciate the breakdown on getting these started. Question…I got the 11002B and am doing the 30 min burn at 275. But the temp has now climbed to 318 and appears to
Still be climbing. . Is this a sign that mine is going to have problem holding temps?
It is kind of normal for pellet grills to climb above the set temp and when it is preheated, it will tend to level off. Temp swings are normal and really not an issue. My offset has temp swings too. Thanks for watching and if it gets higher than 50 all the time, call customer service.
Hey did this keep happening or work itself out? Mine looks to be doing the same
@@ShaneDizzin no it evened out. I opened the lid a few minutes and it kind of reset itself. Then fired up last night to cook a brisket overnight and it held on the super smoke setting at 165 or whatever the entire night. It held within 3-4 degrees at 200 and 250 also to finish. So far, so good!
@@aover7220 beautiful ! mine ended up evening out as well, I let it sit based on you having the same issue and not saying it went bad after lol I'm gonna need to cook myself a brisket like that as well!
Does anyone know where to get grease trays and grease covers to protect the drip pans for this model (11002B)? ZGrill doesn't seem to offer them, or am I stuck using aluminum foil for ever???
I think the smaller weber pans might fit?? Thanks for watching!
Man I'm torn between this and the pitboss 1250 cs
Flip a coin yet?? hahahah Both are good pits and pretty much equal!!! Thanks for watching!!
How about a comparo between this and the new pit Boss 1600 pro elite?? Those are two that I'm trying to decide which one I want. Thanks
I am hoping to do one soon! I got a couple more videos to shoot but then I should be on to the comparison videos again!!! Oh and ca couple cook videos!
Could you make video Z-grills 11002B VS Pit Boss 1600 Elite ?
Ya I got plans to match it up with a couple pits for sure! I got a bunch to still introduce to the Nation first but hopefully next month I can do a few comparison videos!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thx!
I want to get one of them I leave in Winnipeg, Canada
I'd love to see that too! They look to be in a very similar price range as well.
Does the multitasker have an easy clean fire pot? Or do you have to vacuum it out, like the Traeger Ironwood 885?
Vacuum it out. Basically this is like the old the Timberline 1300. Thanks for watching!
Great video. How is the ash clean out on that grill
Well I only used it once so far but it was pretty empty after the burn off. It will interesting to see how it goes once I start cooking on it!! Thanks for watching!
I am thinking for the price, it will cook better than the Pitboss.....New to all this was interested in the timberline xl but for that price I don't think so
Time will tell for sure! I got a Timberline XL coming in Friday. That pit IMO is over priced but I can't say that 100% until I cook on it!! Thanks for watching E!!! Glad to have you watching the video bro and cookers are are hard to pick but go with what you like but do the research before you swipe!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thank you for the feedback!
Hey Ricer, Not many folks have the 11002b and I was wondering if you are having an issue with the app reading one temp and the pit reading another. I've contacted Z Grills and they are saying it's my WiFi. Just wondering.
Hi Steven I have to admit I still haven't even cooked on the Multitasker yet. I got a bunch of pits in all during the same 2 week period so I am still getting them all assembled and doing the burn offs still!!!!hhahaa Hope to get back on the pit in a couple weeks. I can say I have had issues with wifi with other pits because my router is a little further away and if I have a weak signal it will sometimes throw things off a tad. Thanks for watching but I promise eventually I will test the wifi.
Do these have an ash removal system?
No, just a grease and ash catch drawer. Thanks for watching!
You ever find tin foil pans for the grease trey? I use tinfoil and its a pain
I just clean them. Takes a couple minutes and it is done! Thanks for watching!
Hey brother how is this grill . I have a camp chef I love it. Never let me down. But I need a new big grill. Do you know anything about recteq! What is your out look
I like it and sometimes you can get it for a really good price. With that said, I have had a few comments lately that people have had issues with theirs and they can't get parts right now?!?!?! The new Camp Chef Woodwind Pro is a way better pit IMO. Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ ok thank you brother. What do you think about Yoder I think I am getting the yoder 640s
Nice pit but my Lone Star Grillz will run circles around any Yoder. The LSG pellet is still the best one I have ever ran!! Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ wow really that’s crazy man what would be wrong with getting a Yoder
@@DeadBrokeBBQ what separates the two as a Yoder 640 as a good grill will it produce good flavor?
How do you set the timer on this thing can't figure it out for the life of me
Bro I have to be honest, I still haven'y cooked on it yet!! I saw your comment before about this!! I promise I will see if I can figure it out when I finally get back to some cooking videos!! I still got more pits to unbox!!! ugh!!!
Ps... love the profile pic!!!!!!! hahaha
and the zgrill died after one use.. that's happened to me control board failed and now back ordered what a waste of money.
hmmmm that SUCKS!!! this is a really good pit, STAY on them or maybe they could just exchange the whole unit??? Z Grills is typically pretty good about fixing the issue!!!
awesome video. would you get this or the pit boss laredo 1000?
I would buy the ZGrills Multitasker over the Laredo! This pit is basically a Traeger 1300. Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ pulled the trigger and bought it for $500. Thank you!
Smart move!!!!!!!
Sams club has this on sale for $499. What ya think about it?
Buy it right NOW!!! That is a steal for that pit!! I like mine and promise to do a few videos on it again!!! I use it all the time for the larger catering cooks I do from time to time!! Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thanks!
SHoulda bought 2 LOL I gave $699 through Sam's last week and still felt like I stole the thing.
Looks like a bad ass pellet grill for sure, I like the size of the barrel and how they showed Weber how to make one, lol. Cheers!
Heck ya Rob!! I agree this pit is solid bro!!! Thanks for watching!!
Do you still have your Z Grill???
No I do not, I gave it to a good friend of mine and he is running it all the time.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ which one you like better The Camp Chef or The Weber Smokefire??
Looks nice but it isnt a pitboss 😂
Ya, it is basically a Traeger Timberline. Thanks for watching!!
Sams club has this on sale for $499.
That is a crazy good deal on that pit!!! I like this one a lit and it is basically just a Traeger Timberline 1300!! Buy it NOW!!!!!!
Bought it!! Thanks!!
$499 at Sam's Club right now!
Heck ya!!! Great price!
Looks alot like a Weber smoke fire. .
Ya and the the previous Traeger Timberline. Thanks for watching Scotty!!
These grills are getting ridiculous. 1,200 dollars for a Zgrill is insane, and the Pit Boss pro series is second place for being over priced.
Sad fact they ain't going to get any cheaper either. But this Z Grills pit is pretty much last years Traeger Timberline for half the price. I am seriously impressed with the chamber on this pit and can't wait to cook on it! With the cost of steel and everything else involved in the world the top pits by each brand will be $1,200-$2,000. I know it sucks but still cheaper than a good 1/4" offset. Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ yea, I hear ya, the prices are here to stay. Good thing I got my ole trusty kettle grill. Great production level on your vids, by the way. 🤙🏼
Yep always good to have a kettle!! Thanks and glad you enjoy my videos Jeff!
Sams club has this grill on sale for $499. Good price for this grill. Grab one while you can
no sear pot. Nobody knows how to cook steak
Note to self. Don't buy Z Grill's pellets. Full of dust.
