how long does a 20 lb bag of pellets last (cooking time)?

Each cooking session was 2 to 3 hours and I cooked several items and froze some.

I have had a 20lb bag of pellets last a month cooking every weekend 8 to 12 hours

It depends on temperature. If you smoke they'll last for ~20 to 30 hrs. If you "cook" then much less. I find that smoking in the Traeger and finishing in the oven to work the best.

Really depends on what you are cooking at which temp. If I was to smoke boston butt. It would take about 8 hrs and a full hopper of pellets. At 400 degrees it would take 2 hoppers. You have about 4 full hoppers in a 20 # bag

My 20 lb tank lasted about 8 hours, so looks like the smaller one would last a couple hours.

It will very due to cooking times. We have gotten as many as 20 uses out of a bag.

We keep it in a zip lock bag with the air pressed out. I can say it lasts at least 7-10 days, but we usually have it all eaten by the 10th.

over how long of time??? Pellets are good til they either 1. scoop out with poo on them or 2. turn a dark brown from use. 4 bags in one breeze is way to much in my opinion.....we use about a bag a system....only need enough to cover the slots in the bottom.......at least that's how we use them

Hi! I honestly don't know- I use the scoop that comes in the bag- I put a scoop in my bag of chicken layer pellets and stir it up. My best guess would be that I use about 3 scoops total in a 40lb bag. Sue

It comes with a small cookbook, I believe a chicken is 20 min per pound. I generally cook mine a little longer just to be on the safe side, but it still comes out very moist.

I am not sure... I threw the bag out after I filled up the feed bin. I am pretty sure it is good for quite a while though. I buy the 30 lb bag and go through it in about 5-6 weeks.

10-12 minutes per pound but there is no preheating time required. Having done deep fried and using the Big Easy, Total time is about the same.

We leave ours on top, have never had a problem, The longest we usually "cook" is 20 minutes.

They are slow pressure cooked at a low 240 degrees and have NO EXPIRATION date. A reasonable shelf life is about 12 -15 years but many people believe it may last 30 - 35 years or longer.Roscoeanoutdoorsport

They never expire. By law the government requires that companies put expiries on the packaging but in reality the pellets do not go bad.

Hi thanks for your interest in the Pellet Pro grill. It has a 20# hopper and at a temp of 250 it will burn about 1-1/2 lbs of pellets per hr. Call me on Monday if you like .Call 847-336-1329 Thanks Dennis

I would say a 20 lb propane tank would last 1-2 hours with it on full. I'd also recommend that you get the squeeze-switch so that it only has a pilot running when you don't need it. This also increases the safety significantly if you drop it.

We go through a two pound bag in 8-10 weeks after opening, and have noted no change in flavor or hint of rancidity over that time. The bag has a resealable zip-lock closure that seems to work well at excluding oxygen and preserving freshness.

I haven't timed it but I would say they burn at full power for about 90 min, long enough to cook one full meal. I used it to deep fat fry enough fish to feed 6 men on my last camping trip and I had enough fuel left the next morning to almost finish a big breakfast of coffee, bacon, sausage & eggs. I ended up using a second can for about 5-10 min, but I just popped it back out when done and it's stored and ready for my next trip. Unless I'm grilling this is the only stove that I use.

I operate a catering business and I have cooked a 24 pound turkey in these size cookers. I do use a cooking bag and I make sure that the bag does not touch the sides of the cooked. I cook it at 350 degrees.
