Yes — Z Grills works with any brand of food-grade, 100% hardwood BBQ pellets. You are not limited to Z Grills brand pellets.
What to Look For
100% hardwood only — No fillers, binders, or softwood (pine, cedar, fir). These produce off-flavors and excessive ash.
Food-grade only — Never use heating pellets. They are not food-safe and can contain chemicals.
6mm diameter — Standard BBQ pellet size. Fits all Z Grills auger systems.
Dry, firm pellets — Moisture causes pellets to expand and can jam the auger. Avoid pellets that crumble or have a powdery texture.
⚠️ Avoid pellets with visible dust, fines, or crumbling ends. These increase ash production and cause temperature fluctuations.
