For those curious about pellet usage.

Rec Tec Bull. Was already at temp from the days cook. Topped off hopper level with top. Ran at 225 for 14 hours. Outside temp during daylight around 100, at night down into mid 80’s with about an hour of rain to which the smoke chamber was openly exposed to. Temp never dropped below 225 even during rain.

Doesn't look like it used much at all. Thanks for posting the info!
Just curious is there a way to empty the hopper?

Not sure, seems only way would be to scoop it out with something.

Thanks.
Pretty sure I am purchasing one of these today.

Filled my hopper up with a full 40lbs and this is after my burn in and my first cook at 250-275 for about 11 hours. It really seams like you can get quite a few cooks out of a 40lb bag
