What is the Z Grills Reward Crowdfunding program?

The Z Grills Reward Crowdfunding program is a long-term loyalty system where customers make a one-time purchase of a Z Grills pellet grill at a set price (often $777, though specific models and prices may vary). In return, you are then eligible to receive a new, updated grill of equivalent value every five years for up to 50 years (totaling 11 grills over 50 years, including the initial purchase).

Why does Z Grills offer this program?

Z Grills states that this model is about building long-term loyalty and community. Instead of solely focusing on traditional advertising, they reinvest proceeds to improve products and share that growth with their customers through these recurring grill rewards. They also aim to increase the adoption of pellet grills in the market.

How is this different from a regular discount or sale?

Z Grills emphasizes that this is not a discount or a short-term promotion. Instead, they frame it as a "new commercial model" or "long-term value return model." The profit from your initial purchase is reinvested by Z Grills to grow their business, and a portion of that future growth is returned to you in the form of new grills over time.

What exactly do I receive when I join?

When you join the Reward Crowdfunding program, you immediately receive:

  • One Z Grills pellet grill (choose from our 700 or 1000 series, with available models listed on the program page) valued over $700.
  • The promise of a new grill every 5 years for the next 50 years (up to 10 additional grills). Each grill will be of equal value to your original.

I've purchased a Z Grills in the past – am I automatically enrolled?

No. Only purchases made directly through the designated Reward Crowdfunding program on the official Z Grills website qualify. In addition, previous orders or purchases from third-party retailers are also not eligible.

Do I have to pay for the future grills?

You won't pay anything for each subsequent grill once you pay the initial price of the first grill when joining the Reward Crowdfunding program. For each grill afterwards, you will only need to pay a flat-rate shipping fee (about $100). There might also be an option for free pickup at their warehouse.

Do I need to return the old grill?

No need to return any of the old grills, you are free to do what you want with them.

Will the new grills be the exact same model every time?

No. You will receive a new model of equivalent or greater value, based on Z Grills' current lineup and technological advancements at the time of your redemption. This means you can potentially receive upgraded features and improved designs over the years.

What if I don't want to receive a grill in the future?

The Z Grills Reward Crowdfunding program allows future grills to be kept, gifted or passed down through generations. You are free to do what you want with them.

Can I request to receive future grills earlier than scheduled?

Z Grills offers a 3-year warranty on all grills, so if you have any issues, we recommend you contact Z Grills directly to discuss your options.

What if Z Grills goes out of business?

Z Grills acknowledges that, like any long-term program, the fulfillment of future rewards depends on the company's continued success and operations. However, they emphasize these key takeaways to help you ease your mind:

  • You receive a full-featured grill upfront that is valued at or above your initial purchase price, so you're not paying extra compared to a standard purchase.
  • In 2019, Z Grills launched a Cashback Campaign: buy a grill, hold it for 5 years, and get a full refund. Every qualified customer was paid back in full and was deemed a very successful program.
  • This isn't a startup with an idea—Z Grills is an established brand with a proven model of delivering on bold promises.
  • Z Grills has 30 years of proven business behind it. They stand by their grills and make them built to last, just like their promise.
