Cuisinart Clermont Pellet Grill & Smoker For $323

Right, I don’t think its a ‘bad’ product, I just don’t think its worth just under $800.

Hence, while the control panel on the Clermont maxes out at 500 degrees, higher grilling temperatures around 650 degrees should actually be possible above the Sear Zone. The cover is UV protected, wind and water-resistant and the dual-sided vents dissipate excess heat and prevents condensation. When it’s time to grill, the dual-sided grip handles allow for easy removal of the cover. I also provide tips on how to get the best deal when buying BBQ wood pellets and how to test pellet quality.

If the pellet grill produced enough smoke to create a smoke ring, we knew the brisket would be delicious before taking the first bite. “Our grills deliver great value and multi-function to continue enhancing the outdoor cooking experience for our customers.” /PRNewswire/ — The Fulham Group, the exclusive Cuisinart® brand licensee for outdoor grilling products, has debuted the Clermont Pellet Grill and Smoker.
