    Good to know. That’s the one I’ve been looking at. Maybe slightly overkill for most of our excursions, but I’d rather have more juice than not enough.

    I don't think it's overkill at all. We did a group trip a couple weekends back, I have a small pellet grill I used it to power, powered my fridge, it was cold as fuck and used an electric blanket all night, and used it to charge my phone. By the time it was all said and done I had about 28% charge left

    Curious question…what pellet grill are you using and how long does it run off your Jackery? I’ve been looking at this as an option to power my Traeger Scout

    That's such a great idea. And definitely a lot better price wise compared to what safe jack is charging. Thanks

    Replaced the lower heim joints on my ICONs today. I had been hearing a loud creak from the front for a few months, the spherical bearing was cracked into a few pieces

    Mine is the ASmoke. I considered the scout and ranger, but ultimately decided it didn't matter. I'll assume ours require basically equal amounts of power. It uses 150-180w at startup for a few minutes then drops down very low (8-10w) and kicks back up when the fan comes on. The Jackery 1000 would power my grill for probably 24-36 hours continuously (depending on temp) with little issue

    I like them. After 5 years and 100k one of the rears is just starting to leak..

    they are digressively valved though so they feel a little tighter in the corners on pavement than most others

    They need a rebuild. I don't have the time or tools to do it myself. Can't decide if I should send em out for a rebuild or go a different direction like Kangs or something else. But I don't dislike them. Just curious to see what some other brands would feel like

    Perfect that is what I was hoping to hear. Looks like a nice grill. I appreciate the response.

    It's a perfectly adequate grill. Once you go pellet you don't go back to propane. If you just wanted to power the grill, a 300 would probably be fine with a solar charger. If you want to use it for other stuff too, I wouldn't go less than the 1000
