There’s always one question, We have heard it many times, How long can 10kg barbecue BBQ Pellets last?
Rule of thumb: 1 lb of pellets / hour
On average, your pellet grill will burn through 1 lb of wood pellets per hour, but this also varies depending on the heat level and time of year.
For longer smoked foods such as pulled pork and brisket, you’ll likely use fewer BBQ pellets. When the pellet grill temperature is on the high end for things such as pizza and rolls, the average will increase upwards to 3 lbs. per hour.
Naturally, when you turn up the heat, it will burn through more wood pellets.
During the winter months, the cool outdoor temperatures will also force your pellet grill to work harder to maintain the desired heat level.
Insulated blankets are available to help retain more heat within the grill. They do help, but keep in mind; cooking times will still increase a little this time of year, and your grill will burn more wood pellets. If you do get an insulated blanket, some people also use them all year long feeling it keeps the pellet grill temperature even more consistent.
Always plan appropriately and make sure you have enough BBQ pellets around before starting up the grill.
