- Does it need to be plugged in?
- No. It runs on a rechargeable battery pack, so you can cook without an outlet. Charge it fully before a trip, since long cooks can outlast a single charge.
- How much food can it cook at once?
- The grate is small, roughly enough for burgers, wings or a couple of steaks for two to four people. It is not sized for a whole brisket or a large party.
- Can it smoke low and slow or only grill?
- It does both. Set a low temperature for smoke and a high one for searing, but expect to refill the small hopper during long smokes.
- What pellets should I use?
- Any standard wood cooking pellets work, such as hickory, apple or a competition blend. Avoid heating pellets, which are not meant for food.
- How does it compare with a gas tabletop grill?
- It gives real smoke flavor and indirect cooking that gas cannot, but it is heavier, needs pellets and a charged battery, and heats slower.
- Is it hard to clean?
- It takes some care. Empty the ash pot and scrape the small grease tray after each cook, and the compact body makes some corners awkward to reach.
