Equipment

  • Pellet Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 5 lbs Wood Pellets compatible with your brand of pellet grill

Instructions
 

  • Load the hopper with your choice of wood pellets. Make sure to always keep at least 5 lbs minimum in the hopper. 1 lb will cook for about 1 hour on average.
  • Plug your pellet grill into the electric outlet. Make sure the dripping bucket is in place to catch any grease.
  • Turn on the pellet grill and set the pellet grill temperature. This will usually be via a digital controller on the side of the pellet grill.
  • As the pellets begin to burn smoke will naturally be created as well.
  • Clean your grates off with a good bristle free grill brush.
  • Add your food to the pellet grill and cook until finished.
  • Turn off your pellet grill. Once cooled, empty your grease bucket and clean your grates again.
  • Replace cover on the grill.
