Ok, give me a quick lesson on how these things work. How much pellets does it take to run a few hours?
Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!

I held out a long time on getting one. Thought it was a gimmick. Then after a lot of though, figured I’d try one out. Man was I wrong. I can run it all night on a hopper of pellets. The last 20 lbs bag probably lasted me over 25 or 30 hours of cook time. If you get one, you won’t regret it. You literally set the temp and walk away. No more standing there for hours babysitting the pit. I can go mow, watch tv, pretty much do anything around the house and have it cooked and done when times up. Ribs just fall apart.

I was wondering the same , do they use the same pellets as heating ?
how many pellets ?
do you have to be sure to move it inside the garage after use to keep the pellets dry?
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

do you have to be sure to move it inside the garage after use to keep the pellets dry? Depends on what temp you run at. I can cook 6-10 meals on one bin (20 lbs). Burgers only take about 10 minutes once it gets to temp.It comes with a instruction book and it is pretty spot on as far as temps and time for each meat you are cooking. I use pit boss pellets about 9 bucks a bag from Walmart. I've tried hickory , mesquite, comp blend. Can't really taste difference !!!! No I bought a 35 buck cover for mine . It sits on back patio.

That is the one drawback of the pellet grill. You can go mow lawn or do other chores. Might want to tell the wife that you need to sit and watch it carefully so things don't burn (while sipping cold ones).
