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.

Common mid-size WiFi grill. Thin walls, so winter cooks eat pellets. Hopper is the limiter on overnight brisket.

- Burn rate (assumed)

More grate, same pellet tank. A long cold cook on this size is a refill problem more than a space problem.

- 650 sq in
- Hopper
- 20 lb
- Burn rate (assumed)

- 1.15 lb/hr at 225 F

Huge cook space. A 34 lb hopper helps, but a windy 225 F night on this barrel still burns real weight.
