1st I'm putting this in Pellet cooker but it is gas too. Mods do what needs to done. Now the cooker. I follow the Barbeque Lab. The size is unbelievable. As a pellet or gas grill nice versatility. I suspect the ability to cook with 80#s of pellets is OK. It's not cheap at 5 figures and not your typical home cooker. Here is the video.

80 pounds as you say is OK. I have a 30 pound hopper and that is more than enough to smoke. If they are grilling with pellets, 80 pounds MIGHT be enough.

found that odd too, even with double firepots 40lbs should be more than sufficient since I would expect you don't use pellets at high temps since you have high heat gas burners. Maybe 2 20lb hoppers looked funny so they just said screw it and went with dual 40's for visual appeal.

I am curious as to how many pounds of pellets the Weber pellet cooker that can sear uses for searing.

It's 5 figures in Canadian Pesos....

Black Earth makes some really cool products. I've seen them at some trade shows here - they look very well built.

That was clearly highlighted in the review.

For $12.2K I really wanna see what the firepots look like. Then again for $12K I'd expect a better designed upper grate.

However the design looks like what I envisioned the eventual gas/pellet hybrid cookers would look like.
