Cookshack PG-1000

The PG-1000 features a unique design that allows you to cook directly over the firebox for high-heat searing or use the indirect zone for traditional low-and-slow smoking. You can easily switch between these methods depending on whether you want a crusty sear on a steak or a gentle smoke on a brisket.

Yes, the double-walled construction combined with 850-degree Spin-Glas insulation provides exceptional heat retention. This makes the grill highly efficient and stable in temperature, even when the ambient outdoor temperature drops significantly.

At a cooking temperature of 400 degrees F, you can expect to burn approximately 1.2 pounds of pellets per hour. Keep in mind that lower smoking temperatures will typically result in even lower fuel consumption.

The integrated warming drawer is a significant convenience feature that allows you to hold finished meats at a safe serving temperature while you continue to cook other items. It effectively acts as a holding cabinet, ensuring your food stays warm without overcooking or drying out while you manage the rest of your meal.

While it is a heavy-duty piece of equipment, the PG-1000 comes equipped with four casters that make it surprisingly manageable to reposition on a flat patio surface. However, due to its substantial weight, it is best suited for a permanent or semi-permanent location rather than frequent transport.

The 3/8-inch 304T stainless steel grates are built for durability and are resistant to rust, but they still require regular cleaning to prevent buildup. A standard grill brush used while the grates are warm is usually sufficient to keep them in top shape.
