Let me start by saying, "i hope this is in the correct spot, if not TOO BAD
"
I just received my first full electric bill after buying the electric brinkman.
AHHHH, it went up less than FIVE DOLLARS($5.00) per month and i use it quite frequently. I pay 11 cents per KW for the first X amount and 13 cents for the next X amount.
To put that in perspective my brinkman is 1500 W or 1.5KW / hr.
11 cents x 1.5 kw = 16.5 cents per hour to run.
Lets break it down further:
4 hours to smoke ribs = 66 cents
8 hours for brisket = $1.32
I would use it about 30 hours per month +/- a few hours so its roughly 5.00/month to run my brinkman.
Glad i could share how happy i am.
