Camp Chef PG 24 Cooking Test
The cooking process was simple and painless. For our test we prepared a batch of smoked pork ribs. After starting up the pellet grill and adjusting the gauge to low cook we smoked the ribs for approximately 6.5 hours. The result was the ribs were moderately smoked and could easily be peeled off the bone. The hopper was initially filled with mesquite wood pellets and we never had to refill the hopper during cooking and there was plenty of pellets remaining for the next time we needed to grill. Cleanup was simple and we lined the drip pan and drip tray with tinfoil prior to the smoking. This made removing the grease super easy as we just disposed of the tinfoil and were finished.
Overall result. A+++!
