Might be good for smoking/cooking at a camp site or at home.

I think it runs from 240v so if camping will need an inverter that's suitable. And some batteries with suitable discharge rates.

Can't find the watts. Either way, looks good for around the home and the hood looks like it cooks a good amount of food.

I think Louisiana Grill is the premium version of Pitboss.

On sale 8-10 Dec or until sold out.

Price triggers free delivery.
Can't recall but I think Costco has the satisfaction guarantee for 12 months?

  So it's an electric BBQ?

    I think so. Around the house no problems.
    On camping many set ups can easily produce enough power to run these nowadays. Big lithium discharge rates etc.

    Huh? It uses woodchips. The most obvious words on page one of the doc you link are "WOOD PELLET GRILL"

    That's what I found and could only find the hopper details which are:
    ELECTRIC REQUIREMENTS
    110-120 V, 60 Hz, 220 W, 3-prong grounded plug

    If I've done my sums right, 22watts per hour or 16.4Amps per hour??
    I can't see if there is an additional grill plate element??

    yeah. It uses up a fair bit of power initially to start burning the first few pellets, around 100-150-200w to start the burner element, then 12-20w to power a drill/augur that feeds pellets into the burner, sometimes a fan to circulate the airflow. Once it has hit the 'pre-heat' temperature, then it starts up the fan and switches off the element, which takes around 10 minutes or so for the heat to build up.

    It can be run from an inverter or battery pack, but the initial draw is starting the fire in the burner and keeping the fire going with a heating element.

    It can be run from a portable battery pack if camping, i.e. look up photos of various Louisiana / pit boss (same OEM company) or Zgrill /green mountain portable units.

    The pellets themselves you can get from bunnings or BBQs Galore, $30 for 9-10kg bags. I think the average cook time is around 0.5-1kg/hour, higher temperature cooking is up to 2kg/hr. A Hopper usually holds 1/3 of a bag.

    Probably the bigger drama is that it takes 2-3 hours to cook, and you would need a temperature probe that's reliable with an alarm or other function that you'd be able to monitor from inside, and not forget about, especially checking to see if the pellets have run out or the temperature has dropped, i.e. someone's lifted the lid to check on the temperature, and now you have to wait another 40 minutes.

    Meater is one of the higher end units, which uses bluetooth, their v2 unit has 5 internal and 1 ambient temperature readout, so you get a fairly exact "medium/well done" timer on the food, as long as your bluetooth phone is in range. But, ~$40 for wired vs $250 for wireless.

  Was $399 not long ago https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/799938

  The reviews don't seem that great and being 230VAC, is not really much good for camping compared to other stuff out there.
  Maybe ok for caravanning…..

  There's probably also other reasons that the price for this keeps being reduced.

    I think Louisiana Grill is the premium version of Pitboss.

    Read the description. Not the same product.

    Being electrical could be good for total fire bans.

      lgacb08 on 08/12/2023 - 13:34

      If you're there with total fire ban then ham sandwiches and sea water are your staple. Bringing an electric smoker to camp site is over the top, you better go home if you miss smoked meat that much.

      Iirc I don't think pellet smokers are excluded.

  I was looking at this one for a while, but I don't think I'd get enough use out of it.

    This Louisiana Grill is the premium version of Pitboss.
    So $100 cheaper for a better product is a no-brainer.

  Sestrooper on 08/12/2023 - 13:06

  Reckon you can do low and slow with these?

  • 

    TEER3X on 08/12/2023 - 14:17

    Sure, but pellet smokers give a different flavour profile and results to something like an offset.

    I'm not fan of pellet smokers but to each their own
