Our verdict on each
Spicy
Spicy suits Brazilian home cooks buying a first cookware set around an induction hob, with pans starting at BRL 99. Support answers by phone, email or online help centre, but the warranty is brief and the return window is short, so check cover before committing to a large set.
Z Grills
Z Grills suits people who want wood fired flavour with app control and pellet convenience, without moving up to a premium price. The range starts at $379 and is covered for 3 years, and every model is app connected, which is unusual in this group.

Pros and cons
Spicy
Pros
- Cookware is sold as induction ready, so a new set suits an induction hob as well as a gas flame.
- Entry prices start at BRL 99, so a first basket of pans stays modest.
- The grill range includes a barbecue sold as portable alongside the larger models.
Cons
- Returns run for 7 days, which is tight for a bulky cookware set bought online.
- The warranty is 0.25 years, so a fault late in a pan's life falls on the buyer.
- Delivery and pickup options are set up for Brazil, leaving shoppers elsewhere without a listed route to order.
Z Grills
Pros
- Two fuel choices in pellet and wood from one maker, so you can move between them without switching brands
- App connected across the range, which 25% of this group does not offer
- A 3 years warranty, longer than the 4 typical here
Cons
- Shipping is limited to US, so anyone outside that market is buying without local delivery
- The grills are not portable, so the 3 years warranty covers a fixed spot rather than a cooker you move
- Max temp of 260 °C is below the 400 typical in this group, which matters for high heat searing
Who each suits
Spicy
Who it suits
- Home cooks buying a first cookware set and working around an induction hob.
- Barbecue shoppers after grills fed by gas or charcoal, portable models included.
- Shoppers in Brazil who would rather collect pans, knives and storage in the same basket.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want a return window longer than 7 days.
- Shoppers after cookware in a material outside stainless, ceramic nonstick and ptfe nonstick.
Z Grills
Who it suits
- Home cooks who want wood fired flavour with the convenience of pellets
- People who already like grilling with an app and want it built in from the start
- Anyone buying in the US who wants a pellet and smoker maker rather than a gas specialist
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers outside the US, since the range does not ship beyond US
- Cooks who need the highest heat, since max temp of 260 °C sits below the group median
- People who want a portable cooker, as the range is not portable

Questions about each
Spicy
What does Spicy sell?+
Spicy is a kitchen and barbecue shop. It covers pans and knives for the cooking side, plates and containers for the table and the cupboard, and a barbecue section of its own sits beyond the kitchen range. Cookware starts at BRL 99, so a first basket can hold the pans for the hob and the basics around them.
How is the Spicy store organized?+
The store front browses by kitchen and appliances categories, with a barbecue area of its own. That means a buyer can move from the kitchen to the electricals, or head straight to the grills, without scrolling a long page of everything in stock. It suits a quick browse by room rather than by brand.
Z Grills
How much does a Z Grills pellet grill cost?+
The range starts at $379, and that figure is for the pellet grill and smoker models in the wood and pellet collection. Entry price ranks 31 of 39 brands here, so it sits in the middle of the market rather than at either extreme.
Do Z Grills grills work with an app?+
App connected is listed as a yes for the brand, so the phone is part of normal cooking rather than an add on. That matters most on long pellet cooks, where you can set and check a grill without standing beside it. 75% of this group share that feature.
