Uh based on amount of charcoal I'm burning for quick cooks, and 90min cooks.. It's bonkers level consumption. Some. Are suggesting only load the unit with how much you want to use that cook.. As it just burns away tons of extra in the hopper. It doesn't get snuffed out like a egg does. I'm down over 24lb of charcoal in burn in. 1. Steaks@700 2. Burgers 350. 3.flat chicken 350/90min
I am about to order another 10 bags of charcoal.. I'm used to 1 bag lasting me a month in my
akorn....
Keep your gas. Buy the 560 with the vent so it can be modded for consumption, and don't count on this thing being around in 4 years.. Maybe some later versions of it will last longer.
It's convenient but go into it with open eyes.
