Has anyone read anything about this comparison? I've had a GOSM Big Block for several years and am now considering a Camp Chef Timberline since I am retiring at the end of the month and won't have all the "free time" I currently have. ;o)

I was just curious how the price compares between propane and pellet usage. I've not seen a comparison of the two...

TIA

We can't really tell you what the difference in price is without knowing what you are paying. Propane prices around the US vary greatly. I pay $0.37/lb for pellets, but I know some folks that pay $1, and others that pay $0.20.  Also, as you can see in the chart below, some pellet grills use twice as much as others. So the comparison is really all over the map - you need to calculate it for your own situation.

>Camp Chef Timberline 

?? Did you mean Camp Chef Woodwind, or Traeger Timberline?
 
Thanks for the reply. Here in the Midwest, Blue Rhino propane is offered at most retail outlets and I just assumed it was basically the same throughout the states... I did mean the Camp Chef Woodwind.  Thanks for the chart!
