I am officially done with Smokehouse pellets. I had bought them at Sam's and Menards so I cannot blame the retailer for the poor quality. So tired of the little "fines", constantly needing to clean out the auger, sift out the fines and the useless little tiny pieces. Early this PM was the last straw. Even with careful sifting today I decided to do some beef short rib (AKA dyno rib) in Big Z so, sifting and adding became a 15 min job just to add pellets to the hopper. STILL I ended up with an auger "clog"! Had to dump everything I'd just sifted and put in, re-vacuum the auger out, hold the prime button to get all their junk out. Thank heaven I'd bought a bag of Kirkland pellets. They're nice, full sized, not little broken bits and pieces and dust. No sifting required. Got them in, re-primed the auger and bam, grill up to temp and doing what it normally does so well. I think I still have about 200lbs of Smokehouse left in bags and in buckets.
I have to figure out how I'll dispose of them. Not gonna keep fighting with them. That is FO SHO!
