Cuisinart Clermont Pellet Grill & Smoker For $323

Each cook can be customized by adjusting the oversized, reinforced stainless-steel racks. The technology is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth based remote monitoring, allowing you to control your cooks directly from your smartphone. You can remotely adjust temperature, set probes, monitor the cook on graphs, turn internal lights on and off, and even shut down the grill. The idea behind the Clermont was to create a multifaceted pellet grill, covering all the needs of backyard cooking, while appealing to the hardcore barbecue enthusiast. As with all Cuisinart’s grilling products we strive to be user friendly, easy clean, interactive, and visually pleasing. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to fully test the Louisiana Grills LG 1000 Black Label Series Grill.

Even though you don’t see smoke you are still getting smoke flavor. Use protective gloves or long, sturdy cooking tools to remove food. 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.

I spend a whole lot of time cooking outdoors, so I decided to build and design an outdoor kitchen with help from BBQGuys.com. I was browsing the Lowes website as I do from time to time to look for new pellet grill models and I came across a Camp Chef model I wasn’t familiar with, the MZGX24. Also, while as I discuss above that I don’t think a very large 40 lb cuisinart griddler elite pellet hopper is really necessary, placing the control on top of the hopper makes it easier to read/use. Seems like the only good reviewers / YouTube reviews were promotional. Many complaints about quality, parts breaking almost instantly, customer service issues, etc. I do like the size and the price point, but I think this one is going to be a hard pass.

From discounts on multi-burner gas grills to small pellet grills, these deals might help make barbecuing even more enjoyable. From the originators of the pellet grill, the Traeger Pro 575 is a solid performer. In our testing, it produced plenty of smoke at consistent temperatures for our brisket, which we cooked overnight. And Traeger’s cuisinart soup maker app delivers all the info we needed so we didn’t have to step outside to check on the grill. This meant that we didn’t worry about leaving anything in one place for too long and that the burgers were all done about the same time. The 575 delivers pleasing, consistent results and can smoke at lower temperatures than many others.

There are side knobs that allow the smoke and heat to be adjusted in the top cabinet. The height (5.5” inches) between the racks is large enough so you can cook bulky food in the upright position. You can also remove one rack to have space for a 24-pound turkey. The 22-pound hopper gives you at least 10 hours of high temp cooking or 20+ hours of slow temp smoking. With 1,057 square feet of cooking surface area, this KitchenAid grill is a good option for larger families or anyone who likes to host. The brand claims that it uses an even-heat system to evenly cook anything on the grill and its cooking system is 91,000 BTUs.

I was browsing the big box store websites as I do to find new pellet grill/smoker models and on Lowes.com I came across a couple of new Oklahoma Joe’s pellet grills. Cuisinart has recently released a new pellet grill/smoker into their range, the Clermont. As with their previous offerings the Woodcreek & Twin Oaks, Cuisinart are selling this pellet grill/smoker exclusively through Walmart. As I’ll discuss below the Clermont does have some advantages over the Woodcreek, however, its also currently priced quite a bit higher. I also think the Clermont has some missed opportunities in terms of features.
