What a satisfying feeling to see this nearly 233 lbs and 5 feet beast ready to get to work. Protect your Clermont Smoker from the elements with the cuisinart clermont pellet grill & smoker cover! This cover is specially designed to fit the Clermont pellet grill. When it’s time to grill, the dual-sided grip handles allow for easy removal of the cover. Depending on use, periodically remove the cooking grates, grease tray and heat distribution plate to clean the ash from in and around the fi re pot.
Step 5 Preheat the grill for 10 to 15 minutes with the lid closed before placing food back in the grill. If this procedure is not successful, see Trouble Shooting section in your owner’s manual. See a doctor if you or others develop cold or fl u-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or fl u, is often detected too late. After a period of storage, inspect the grill for abrasion, wear, cuts, or damage to the temperature controller and power cord.
I do also like the built-in surrounding work surface, which could be very handy for food prep and the sear zone is a good feature to have. After dumping the grease bucket, you can also wash it with cleaner or soap and water. To clean your pellet smoker, you will need tools for scraping grease, removing ash and washing the surface of your BBQ.
If you are transporting your grill in a vehicle after cooking on it, make sure the fire is completely out and the grill is cold before placing it in any vehicle. However, some brands are hardwood blended pellets whereas others are 100% single wood species. So the previous pellet grills/smokers from Cuisinart the Woodcreek & Twin Oaks featured a 30lb pellet hopper.
Simply ensure the hopper is full of pellets, select the temperature from the control panel, and let the grill do all the work. Instead of a fixed open flame like gas or charcoal grills, pellet grills use a hopper and firebox system. The hopper continuously feeds the firebox with fresh wood pellets that allow the grill to run for hours at a time . Hoppers usually feature an electric auger that feeds the firebox as needed. The smokey heat produced by this continued wood-burning is trapped in the grill, slowly cooking meat while infusing that sought-after, authentic smokey flavor. Plus, you can experiment with different types of wood pellets to produce unique flavors.
