If you're like me, then you love the smoky flavor that grilling gives food. But if you have a Z Grills ZPG-450A review, you might be wondering how to get even more smoke from your grill. Never fear – I'm here to help. In this post, I'll share some tips on how to get the most smoke from your Z Grillz smoker. So read on and start smoking up a storm!

How do I get more smoke from my Z Grills ZPG-450A?

You can take several steps to increase the smoke flavor in your Z Grillz smoker. They include:

  • Use more charcoal – First, fill up both sides of your grill with as much coal as possible. This will generate more smoke than using just one side (which is what most smokers do). You can do this by using more extensive coal or filling the grill with more charcoal. 
  • Use mesquite wood chunks instead of chips – Second, use mesquite wood instead of regular wood chips. Mesquite has a more robust flavor than other woods like hickory or oak (which most smokers use). So you'll need less of it to generate the same flavor as with chips.
  • Keep the lid closed – Third, keep your lid down by adjusting the hinges so that the top is just a couple of inches above the grill. This allows more smoke to circulate inside and flavor your food even better.
  • Flip meat often – Fourth, flip your meat often. This will allow the smoke to have more contact with your food, which results in a smokier flavor.
  • Add wet wood chips – Lastly, you can always add wet chunks of regular or mesquite wood to generate even more smoke. So follow these tips, and you'll be on your way to a smokier flavor in your next meal. Good luck!
  • Maybe it's a good idea to invest in a remote thermometer so that you can monitor the grill from inside. This is great if you're trying to watch your food while running back and forth from your Z Grillz smoker to the house.
  • Keep the water pan full. This is very important when you grill with charcoal, so your coals don't burn too quickly and generate too much heat.
  • Close the air vents when cooking over low heat for a more extended period (e.g., when smoking). Keep the air vents wide open when you're cooking on high heat.
  • If you're cooking on an electric Z Grillz grill, then set it to high heat and leave the lid up so that it heats up properly.
  • Let meat rest after smoking/grilling (if you can). This will allow your meat's juices to settle, so you don't lose them during the cooking process.
  • Make sure you preheat your Z Grillz smoker properly before adding meat or wood chunks/chips. This will ensure that it gets hot enough to generate smoke quickly and infuse your food with flavor.
  • Keep an eye on your Z Grillz smoker to ensure it doesn't get too hot. If it does, then extinguish the coals and let it cool down a bit before cooking (putting meat on) – this will ensure that your food gets cooked properly.
