Upgrade Your Z Grills Pellet Grill with WiFi & Bluetooth Control

Ever wanted to keep a closer eye on your BBQ cook without hovering over the grill? With the new WiFi and Bluetooth-enabled controller upgrade for the Z Grills 10002B2E, you can monitor and adjust your grill temperature from anywhere using the Z Grills app. Today, we’re walking you through the step-by-step installation and showing you how to get the most out of this smart controller upgrade.

Why Upgrade Your Z Grills Controller?

The original PID controller on the Z Grills 1000D4E does the job, but the new WiFi & Bluetooth controller takes it up a notch. With four temperature probe ports and wireless connectivity, it lets you monitor multiple meats and adjust temperatures without lifting the lid. Perfect for those long, slow cooks where precision matters.

Tools & Parts Needed

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Unload the Pellet Hopper:

Use a 5-gallon bucket to empty the hopper completely. Set pellets aside for later use.

2. Remove the Old Controller:

Unscrew the four bolts holding the hopper and firepot in place. Disconnect the thermocouple wire, and gently pull the controller free from the housing.

3. Install the New Controller:

Align the new controller, connect each labeled wire one-by-one, and secure with provided screws. Keep wiring away from the fan blades to prevent damage.

Connecting the WiFi & Bluetooth Features

Download the Z Grills app, create an account, and pair your device with the controller. Make sure to set up temperature alerts and probe assignments for better tracking during the cook.

Testing and First Burn-In

Once everything is wired and connected, run a test cook at 350°F for 30–45 minutes. Monitor the temperature using the app to confirm that everything is working as expected. Adjust as needed, and let the smoke roll!

Whether you're running a long smoke or just want to keep an eye on dinner while you're inside, this controller gives you the flexibility to do just that.
