PelletDeck

Starter pellet grill database

Listed specs for 24 models. Filter by grate size, hopper, WiFi, sear, price band, and warranty. These are manufacturer or retailer figures, not lab tests.

Price bands are street-price buckets, not live prices. Hopper and WiFi can change by year and SKU. If you own the grill, believe the lid sticker. Burn rates are planning assumptions, not lab results. Then run the calculator with that hopper size.
