Buckle straps around the wheels and adjustable drawstrings on the sides anchor the cover to your grill in even the strongest winds. When it’s time to grill, the dual-sided grip handles allow for easy removal of the cover. I also provide tips on how to get the best deal when buying BBQ wood pellets and how to test pellet quality.
As you can see from the photo, I still had room to add more food, if I wanted to. After a few cooks, there will also be some ash residue inside the bottom interior of the grill. This is because the internal fan blows the light cuisinart griddler elite stuff around. You can use a paper towel to push these ashes into the hole behind the fire pot, and they’ll fall right into the ash drawer. Cuisinart introduced the grill capability into the Clermont by adding a sear zone.
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. If you’re looking for a grill that performs well and looks good doing it, the Cuisinart Clermont Pellet Grill is the way to go.
The grill itself has ample surface area for all your grilling needs. It’s more compact than some of the other grills we tested, but it contains dual racks inside, each boasting roughly 400 square inches of grilling surface area. There’s plenty of room to grill several briskets, pork shoulders, or racks of ribs in this grill. This pellet grill did a fantastic job of holding temperatures at higher temps. Our chicken wings cooked evenly throughout the grill and resulted in a perfectly crispy exterior when set to 500°F. Unfortunately, the Cuisinart struggled a little with holding low temperatures, and we had to set the grill to 210°F to maintain an even 225°F for the brisket.
