![]() The burn pot is stainless steel like much of the rest of the smoker so it’s very heavy duty and built to last. The fact that they are split into (2) pieces means they will fit into most dishwashers if you really want to get them cleaned up.Īn interior light with a on/off switch on the controller makes it easy to see what you are cooking at night and the heavy duty glass cover over the bulb is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The ¼ inch stainless steel rod cooking grates are very heavy duty as well and makes them easy to keep clean. At approximately 36 inches wide and 20 inches front to back, the cooking area is more than enough to cook for a large crowd. The Cooking ChamberĪll stainless steel, sealed seams and extremely heavy duty says it all. The stainless steel lid on the hopper makes a great place to sit foil pans to keep the food warm as well. The hopper being on the back allows for a shorter distance to move the pellets from the hopper to the burn pot. This thing is on the very back of the unit and it’s huge! It holds 40 lbs of pellets which means you’ll not need to fill it up very often and you can run it for a day and a half without adding more fuel. Unlike our top pick, the Pro 575, the Silverton model exhausts smoke out of the back and not the top, which might cause some of that uneven heating.CHECK LATEST PRICE The Main Features of this REC TEQ Pellet Grill The BIG Pellet Hopper Reviews are mixed for this model, and uneven heat distribution seems to be its biggest flaw. The WiFi-enabled Silverton 620 pellet grill offers a slightly larger cooking area, built-in side tables, and storage cabinet.For the extra cost, the Pro 34 has a second shelf (an additional 238 square inches) and two probe jacks. But if you want to maximize your dollar per square inch, you might want to consider the first-generation Traeger Pro 34, which typically costs $100 more than the Texas Elite. Even though it’s pretty basic, the Texas Elite 34 is affordable for its large size and cooking capacity (646 square inches) compared with other Traegers. The Texas Elite pellet grills have been around for years, and they also bear the older-generation Traeger design as well as a control panel that includes a simple temperature dial, an on/off switch, and a digital readout (but no meat-probe jack).A clean probe helps the thermostat maintain accurate temperatures. Wipe the soot (or creosote) from the thermostat probe with a damp towel.But hey, if you’ve always wanted a shop vac, it’s a great excuse to buy one, amirite? It worked fine, though I wouldn’t recommend people use such a thing for regular ash removal. We didn’t have a shop vac and used a household handheld vac. You can also vacuum out the ash, but again, do so only when the grill is 100% cold and there’s no possible chance of lingering embers.Traeger suggests using “a small metal fireplace shovel or other similar tool” (something like this shovel should work just fine) and disposing of ashes in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. You should clean out the ash only when the grill is completely cool. Too much ash collected in the firebox can keep pellets from igniting and, in some cases, redirect the smoke backward and up through the pellet hopper. Clean out the ash that accumulates in the fire pot and the bottom of the firebox.But you don’t need to stress about a clogged grease chute if you keep your drip pan clean in the first place. Make sure the chute is unobstructed so grease can flow from the pan to the bucket-if the chute gets clogged, you run the risk of a grease fire. Inspect the grease chute between the grease-collection pan and the bucket that hangs off the side of the grill.It’s easiest to clean the grease pan while the grill is still warm (not hot), so protect your hands with gloves or towels. Then scrub it with hot soapy water and a scour sponge before rinsing and drying. But if you forget to do that part-like I did-you can remove the drip pan and scrape off most of the fat and gunk with a putty knife. The simplest solution: Line your drip pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil so you can easily discard the greasy mess after you cook. Fat accumulation can lead to grease fires, and those aren’t fun. ![]() ![]() Clean the drip pan under the cooking grates, especially after cooking fatty meats.Scrape the cooking grates with a grill brush. ![]()
