What Is the Grill Made Of? (Steel Grade & Build Quality)

Z Grills pellet grills are constructed with heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel for the main barrel and hopper. Here is a breakdown by component.

The surface features a food-safe high-temperature resin powder coating. Over time, minor discoloration and paint wear may occur. This is normal for all steel grills and does not affect performance.
