About Z Grills

Z Grills is a brand of pellet grills that are made in China and are sold using a direct-to-consumer model approach. We did research on the company and they are a registered U.S. Corporation in the State of California, in good standing.

Z Grills is the flagship brand from a Chinese factory that “currently makes or has made in the past” many, if not all of the pellet grills from all of the leading manufacturers. The Z Grills brand is kind of a mashup of many of these brands into an affordable, direct-to-consumer sales approach.

Z Grills doesn’t advertise their grills or market themselves in the same way as most grill brands. Instead, they rely heavily on a large social media presence, crowd-funded Indiegogo campaigns to launch new products lines, and new and inventive ways of moving products such as in “blind-box” purchasing, and “3 Grills for the full price of 1”.

But, are Americans buying it? I think the answer is yes.
