- Calculator burn assumption
- 1.15 lb/hr at 225 F. Planning number only. Not a lab test.
Hopper hours and pellets per cook
A 12 lb brisket at 225 F plans at about 16 hr 30 min, but in winter a full 22 lb hopper runs only about 8 hr 58 min, so an overnight brisket needs a refill around hour 8. In mild weather the same cook uses about 19.3 lb and finishes with only about 2.7 lb left, a margin thin enough that the calculator flags it.
| Set point | Mild (about 60 to 80 F) | Winter / sub-freezing |
|---|---|---|
| 225 F | 18 hr 50 min at 1.15 lb/hr | 8 hr 58 min at 2.42 lb/hr |
| 250 F | 16 hr 35 min at 1.30 lb/hr | 7 hr 54 min at 2.74 lb/hr |
| 275 F | 14 hr 48 min at 1.46 lb/hr | 7 hr 3 min at 3.07 lb/hr |
Same 22 lb hopper elsewhere in our database: the Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 24 (about 25 hr 28 min), the Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 36 (about 19 hr 41 min), and the Camp Chef Woodwind WiFi 24 (about 25 hr 28 min), counting a full hopper at 225 F in mild weather on each grill's own assumed burn rate.
| Cook | Planned time | Mild (about 60 to 80 F) | Winter / sub-freezing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 lb brisket at 225 F | 16 hr 30 min | 19.3 lb | 40.2 lb (more than a full hopper) |
| 8 lb pork butt at 250 F | 10 hr 42 min | 14.3 lb | 29.7 lb (more than a full hopper) |
Those pounds include the startup pad and assume a full hopper at the start. For how meat, set point, and bag size change the total, see how many pounds of pellets a smoke really takes.
Each pellet figure opens that cook in the calculator with the Traeger Timberline XL already picked, or run the winter brisket for this grill in the calculator and change the weight, temp, or weather yourself. Wind, wet pellets, and a leaky lid are not in the math, and they usually burn more.
Notes
Large grate and a 22 lb hopper. The calculator burn rate is an assumption, not a Traeger lab figure.
PelletDeck did not run this grill in a lab. The burn assumption exists so the calculator has a starting point. Override hopper size if your unit differs.
