Pellet Pre-schooler
Well, I decided to check the waters and get me a Pellet Grill. Had planned on a Pit Boss 820 but decided to get a 340 instead and I'm going to add a thermometer which this model didn't come with. If it turns out to be too small, which I doubt, and since we only do about 3 large gatherings here a year. We have an oven and I'm also getting a Oil Less Turkey Fryer in a few weeks so we should be able to handle most cooks without arm wrestling for the oven.
I also started a Shed/Shack/Lean To off of my carport so now I don't have to back the Hot Rod out, if the weather is nasty. It's all low key KISS but it gives me a hang out no matter the weather and a place to stay a ?little? more organized. More to come as the project develops.

Re: Pellet Pre-schooler
That is looking real fine, OUP. Happy for you. The cover really comes in handy, unless we have one of those 40 mph blowing rains that comes in sideways. I ain't cooking in that mess anyway. The only downside I see to the grill is the 7 lb. hopper. You'll have to refill it during a brisket cook. No big deal.

Re: Pellet Pre-schooler
Got my Q Shed wired and ready to do the preliminary start up on the Pellet Grill. QUESTION IS after the intial fire up and cool down, what do I do with the pellets that are still in the hopper and auger area Can I leave them there for the next cook or do I need to remove and start with fresh If I need to remove then what's the best way

Re: Pellet Pre-schooler
Oakie, another question, if I may? I ran IT thru the prelim and got pellet in the pot and a good full flame. Then, as the instructions said, I turned it off but the fan kept running. Is it normal for the fan to continue? Maybe for cool down and safety purposes?
Yes, I have read the instructions as good as my eyes would do and I saw no mention of the fan continuing after turn off.
