Camp Chef pellet consumption

[robby6pack]

I just got a Camp Chef Smoke Pro SG. I fired it up and seasoned the smoker. I know that there are a bunch of factors, but does anyone have an idea on how many pounds per hour of pellets it will burn at various temps? Low Smoke, High smoke, 200/5 smoke level..... Just curious.

My DLX uses about a pound an hour give or take when I cook at 225.

I can cook for 24 hours and not burn a whole bag of pellets.
Ribs 3/2/1 uses about half a hopper or less.

the out side temp will determine how much you burn, I use a moving blanket on mine when its cold out, them fellars with $$ to burn use welding blankets, they aint nearly as thick as moving blankets , may have a fire some day but been good for about 2 years, oh and use it only for low temp smoking, no 275+ .

As fall sets in I notice the pellet consumption goes up as the temps go down.
I've never measured the pounds per hour. Not sure the capacity of the hopper (Masterbuilt), but I doubt it would make an overnight
I use a Harbor Freight weld blanket that is folded 4 times. Should have used it on the last smoke as the air temp was OK, but the wind was brutal
