Pellets can hang up in the pellet hopper after cooking for a long period of time. It’s important to monitor the pellet level and mix the pellets by hand to ensure they fl ow into the auger. Step 1 Open hood to cooking chamber and remove cooking grates, heat plates and heat baffle from inside the grill.
Takes some time to assemble, should have came with a cook book? Temp should go higher than 400 degrees for better searing of meat. Otherwise easy use just dump pellets in hopper and turn the temp to where you want. Built well, grill racks should last and temp stays within 5 degrees of setting. Cast iron grates, double wall construction, large pellet hopper, viewing window, oven gaskets around the lid, Bluetooth connectivity, temperature probe, very sturdy construction.
Once again, Cuisinart knows how to go above and beyond to deliver a grilling experience worth every penny spent. All Cuisinart’s BBQs have a consistent quality design, and the Twin Oaks makes no exceptions to this rule. This way, you don’t loose the precious smoke for the brisket while grilling on an open flame and you get both meals done all-in-once.
That infuses smoky flavors into the food, similar to what you’ll find when grilling over wood or charcoal. When set to higher temperatures, less smoke is produced, and the fire pot focuses on creating heat. Since the heat deflector plate prevents direct searing and grill marks, the food crisps up like it would when roasted inside a high-temperature oven. The grill rolled easily on four wheels without rattling or shaking, leading us to believe the construction is solid and secure enough to last the test of time. We loved the WiFIRE app functionality, which made it easy to adjust probe and grill temperatures while also keeping an eye on the percentage of pellets left in the hopper. It seemed outdated compared to some of the grills in the test group, and it was hard to read after sitting out in the sun for hours.
There are also two 18,000 BTU side burners, and a built-in rotisserie system with an infrared burner. Pellet grills are different from other grills because they’re dual-fuel. Instead of being heated by gas, propane, or electricity alone, an electric-powered auger moves wood pellets to a fire box, where they’re ignited to create the fire that heats the grill.

When it’s time to clean, you just take out the grease pan underneath, empty and wash in the sink. From my personal experience, it really helps maintaining cuisinart pots and pans set a more stable cooking temperature during cold days, or wintertime. A pellet grill/smoker is only as good as the BBQ pellets you put into it.
I also think the Clermont has some missed opportunities in terms of features. My general thoughts on the Clermont match the phase ‘two steps forward, one step back’. Hence, there is some progress here, however, its not where it needs to be on price/features. The Cuisinart Clermont Pellet Grill is designed to look innovative and offers a huge smoking space. While I will agree that this pellet smoker has some innovation, I can’t say that I like it.

Do not rinse your pellet grill with a hose or bucket, as water can get into the grill or hopper and cause damage to its electrical components or ruin the pellets. To clean your pellet smoker, you will need tools for scraping grease, removing ash and washing the surface of your BBQ. In general, you want to use a non-mental scraper and not too abrasive so it will not scratch the surface of the grill.
