Summer may be ending, but that doesn’t mean BBQ is off the menu, as sporting seasons have already begun or will start in the coming months, and plenty of folks are regularly heading out for gatherings among the changing seasons, and this Z GRILLS portable pellet grill and smoker is ready to keep you fed through it all. It measures 25 inches by 20 inches by 13 inches, making it far easier to transport than any standard grill, utilizing wood pellets as a fuel source that reduces your emissions over using charcoal.

It sports PID 2.1 controls, with a temperature range of 180 to 450 degrees, and even boasts 8-in-1 functionality beyond just BBQ, grilling, or smoking, adding on baking, roasting, searing, braising, and char-grilling to the list. The 202 square-inches of internal space allows for up to six burgers, 11 hotdogs, or even one full rack of ribs to be cooked up at once. A bonus here is the included meat probe that lets you enjoy time with others without needing to babysit and focus all your attention on cooking.
