For me i don't see the need for a huge hopper. I never fill my hoppers up no matter how long I cook. If they get low just add more. For example if this unit even burned 1 pound of pellets per hour @ 225 you are looking at 13 hours.
I do know some people like to have large hoppers, Rec-Tec comes to mind, but I just don't see the need.
That is where these conversations get interesting. I moved from a 20 lb hopper to 35. I probably didn't need it, but it's a really nice to have feature. 13 seems small to me.
With the Twin Eagle, it seems we're back to some folks wanting a super modern looking grilling appliance run by pellets. I tend to think my natural gas (never fill a propane bottle again) gasser does that grilling just fine. Twin Eagle would be cumbersome to switch out smoke to grill IMO. Whereas my pit is smoke to roast ready 100% of the time.
Touch screen on the front center. Well that will last a few weeks before covered in sauce, drippings etc.
I'm sure I'd be proud to own this Twin Eagle, it's beautiful, but I don't see myself pulling the trigger on this ever. Ultimately that comes down to not being an all in one cooking appliance guy. I suspect this could be tempting for the Memphis crowd.
