Calculator burn assumption: 0.80 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 28 lb hopper runs only about 16 hr 27 min, so an overnight brisket needs a refill around hour 16. In mild weather the same cook uses about 13.6 lb and finishes with about 14.4 lb left.

How long a full 28 lb hopper runs on the Z Grills Multitasker 7052B WiFi, after the 0.35 lb startup pad. Burn starts at the 0.80 lb/hr assumption at 225 F and scales with set point and weather, the same math as the calculator.
Set point	Mild (about 60 to 80 F)	Winter / sub-freezing
225 F	34 hr 34 min at 0.80 lb/hr	16 hr 27 min at 1.68 lb/hr
250 F	30 hr 27 min at 0.91 lb/hr	14 hr 30 min at 1.91 lb/hr
275 F	27 hr 10 min at 1.02 lb/hr	12 hr 56 min at 2.14 lb/hr

Same 28 lb hopper elsewhere in our database: the Z Grills 700D4E WiFi (about 34 hr 34 min), counting a full hopper at 225 F in mild weather on that grill's own assumed burn rate.

Pounds of pellets for two common cooks on the Z Grills Multitasker 7052B WiFi, startup pad included. Cook time is the calculator's planning estimate for the meat and set point.
Cook	Planned time	Mild (about 60 to 80 F)	Winter / sub-freezing
12 lb brisket at 225 F	16 hr 30 min	13.6 lb	28.1 lb (more than a full hopper)
8 lb pork butt at 250 F	10 hr 42 min	10.1 lb	20.7 lb

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 Z Grills Multitasker 7052B WiFi 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

461 sq in lower plus 248 sq in upper rack, 709 listed total. Fully insulated dual-wall chamber with a full-length lid gasket. Z Grills claims up to 40% less pellet use in cold weather; that is a maker claim, not a test we ran.

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.
