Few Facts About the Summer time pellets

 

There’s something special about the magic created when wood smoke and meat come together over an open grill. When you’re ready to produce the hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork and steaks for all the neighbors to dream about, we suggest that you include loads of Summer time pellets.

How to prepare your pellet stove  with Summertime  Pellets 

Whenever the small stretches of hot days transition into constant summer weather you’re prepared to allow your pellet stove to proceed on holiday. However, there are additional actions that you need to think about choosing to guard your prized heating.
Why do you require a surge protector? Most contemporary pellet stoves have a circuit board that may be ruined without protection against small electrical surges due to power outages. Make sure you look at your guide for advice on electric recommendations.) As soon as you’re completely disconnected, make sure it’s completely chilled until going ahead. you can use Summer time pellets which is the most recommended because of its usage.

Remove all wood pellets in the cooker whether they are burned or unburned. Because wood pellets comprise of kiln-dried wood fibers, they draw and absorb even the smallest amount of moisture. If consumed and left all summer, rust can form within your stove. After all, pellets are removed — you are ready to get to the actual cleaning.

To clean out the cooker’s glass, use a heat-safe cleaning solvent and a soft cloth. Don’t use any cleaning solvent with ammonia in it, since it can cause damage to the glass.
Begin by using a stiff brush to sweep off ash buildup on the interior walls, heat exchanger and inside all of the nooks and crannies. For the stubborn residue from the burn pot, use a metal scraper. Most pellet stoves include one, but if yours did not — just pick up one out of a cooker parts shop or online.

 

To eliminate all of the remaining residue and dust, use an ash vacuum or some other wet/dry vacuum. But if the vacuum is not intended for cleaning wood burning stoves — be certain that you use a unique high-efficiency filter that will catch and include the minuscule particles. Don’t use a standard household vacuum, since they can easily be ruined by the ash.

Review Of  Summer time pellets

In the hot summer we do not think too much of the benefits of a warm pellet stove fire, but I do think of pellets in a big way. Why? Because I have a trager grill. I have had it for about 3 years now, and love it.

It is basically a few grills in one (smoker, grill, convection oven). You can do anything from pork shoulders to chocolate chip cookies. If you buy a trager you will end up using it all the time. I especially like to do bacon on it, because it comes out crispy and doesn’t smell up the house. I have cooked Thanksgiving turkey on mine for the past 3 years!

As you know this site is geared toward reviewing pellets. With these grills there are specialty flavored pellet they sell, and they work great and add flavor. The problem is they are considerably more costly than home heating pellets. About $19 a 20lbs bag versus $6 for a 40lbs bag. Add to that folk who are into this pellet heating solution tend to be a frugal bunch.

 

So inevitably the question arises is it ok to use home heating pellets in a grill for food. Short answer: maybe.

It all depends on the pellet manufacturer. I live in Pennsylvania and most of our  Summer time pellets are hardwood to start with, but softwood pellets would be out of the question. The other issue is what kind of wood was used for the pellet, and is there any binders or other materials in the pellets.

In my grill I have used Hammer, Summer time pellets and Turman , and they work great. I called the actual factory and asked what went into the pellet before I used them. Before you consider using a pellet to cook with I would recommend a call to the factory- even the ones I mentioned as factories change formulas often.

Even though the Trager pellets are more money, the grill does not burn up a lot of pellets (give or take a pound and hour), and the different woods really do provide different flavor.

Any way you go these grill are amazing.
