Why we love this deal

Looking to invest in a new grill and smoker combo? Now is the absolute best time. Summer is winding down, and prices on outdoor products like grills and patio furniture are slashed to make room for new fall inventory. One of the best pellet smoker brands on the market is on sale for a whopping $580 off the usual price at Walmart — and this model is packed with all the bells and whistles you could possibly want in a grill and smoker.

The $1,199 Z Grills Powerhouse 8-in-1 Pellet Grill and Smoker is now just $619. This combo grill and smoker truly lives up to its name. Its “massive cooking area” can cook up to seven whole chickens, nine racks of ribs, or 43 burgers at once.

Why do shoppers love it?

Whether you want to grill, smoke, bake, char, roast, sear, braise, or barbecue, this cooker can do it all. The 28-pound capacity wood pellet hopper supports 30 hours of cooking, with digital controls maintaining temperatures from 180 to 450 degrees. Reviewers say it “keeps very consistent temperature” with little to no adjustment needed as your food cooks.

Unlike some combo models, this one offers a “massive cooking area with three grate levels,” giving you a full 1,056 square inches to work with. A stainless steel lid ensures heat retention and even cooking, and the attached ash cleanout drawer simplifies cleanup. One reviewer said this model is “super easy to operate,” particularly for first-time users.

Above and beyond how well it works, this model comes complete with a host of extras like a foldable front shelf, a side shelf with hooks, a bottom storage shelf, and a grease bucket. It also features sturdy wheels for mobility and a rain cover to keep everything protected. Shoppers say assembly is “easy,” with one shopper noting that putting it together “took me one hour by myself.”
