Title: DB vs. DC
Post by: Jon515 on February 11, 2019, 10:24:53 PM

I think I"ve asked this before, does the DC use less pellets to heat up? I ask because most of the time I cook for two and its two steaks, hamburgers ETC.  I do turkeys, whole chickens from time to time, but I'm wondering if a DC would be more economical 80% of the time. 

Thanks,
Jon

As I recall the ambient temperatures were about 15° higher for the 2 DB test then the DC...I think the DC was in the 50's!

The small variation in pellet consumption between the DC and the DB at 200 and 300F is shocking.

Was always curious what the Jim Bowie's would have been!
