Advantage Hopper Question

(1/3) > >>

Waffle860:
Hello, I am looking at getting an advantage and noticed the hopper is only 12lbs.  How does it do on long overnight cooks like Briskets?   Does it tunnel out like the Treagers can do or can you get a good 8hrs on a load of pellets at 225-250F?

Thanks

I get over 1 hr/lb at 225 on my Elite, and I think the Advantage is much more stingy with pellets. You should have no problem getting more than 8 hours.

Thanks for the quick reply

Here is the data from the 7/2011 Performance Test on Pelletheads.com

Pit at 200°; Ambient temperature 86°, calm, in the shade, 1Lb. of pellets/165 minutes.
Pit at 300°: Ambient temperature 82°, calm, in the shade, 1Lb. of pellets/68 minutes.
Pit at 400°: Ambient temperature 77°, calm, in the shade, 1Lb. of pellets/46 minutes.

Thanks Bentley.  That is good data to have.
