Not a fan. It’s mechanical. It will fail or break at some point. I wouldn’t trust leaving any pellet grill unattended. By unattended I mean leaving the house for hours at a time.
A snake or minion method will work every single time without worry rain or shine.
Speaking of rain. I doubt the adapter is meant to work in the weather. For that reason alone I wouldn’t like a pellet grill. I do have a covered area but didn’t for a long time. I greatly appreciate the kettle design and its rain performance.
In fact, if you look at the adapters design, rain water would run down the outside of the bowl directly in the fire. It will put the fire out. Game over.
