Pellet Grill Accessories that YOU PROBABLY FORGOT to Buy! (Other than tongs and spatulas)

[@floydcampbell1501]

Oklahoma joe sifter / storage bucket is what I use to eliminate the dust and broken pieces of pellets to prevent feed problems. I highly recommend this bucket, some of the best money I've ever spent.

[@PelletsandPits]

Thanks Floyd

I use a large dog food bin to store my pellets. Seals tight and rolls around. Lots of options on Amazon. Openings are large enough for easy pellet change over.

[@PelletsandPits]

great idea...

[@jstaffordii]

Big suggestions is find your local restaurant supply store. They carry higher quality items for lower price. Sheet pans with appropriate cooling racks, stainless gastro pans, cambros and buy heavy duty foil on the 18 inch commercial roll in a box with the cutter.

Keep in mind that in a lot of the US, most outdoor outlets are tied to the garage outlets. And they both have to be GFIC protected. Thus, you can easily trip the GFIC thap powers your grill if you have a freezer in your garage.

[@bobbicatton]

I can relate to your suggestion about buying racks and pans as a set. I'm so frustrated by my mishmash of things that don't fit well together!

[@The_Original_Big_Daddy]

Yup, all my existing inventory is being donated soon!

I use 5 gallon buckets for pellet storage. I cut the label off of the bag and tape it with blue tape to the top of the bucket (hickory, cherry etc.) I also put one on top of the smoker pellet hopper to remind me what’s in the hopper.

[@PelletsandPits]

Absolutely...love the 5 gallon idea...

[@slngblde]

Neal, for the nitrile gloves I use the blue ones from harbor freight. I buy 4 or 5 boxes when they go on sale for $5. I use a lot of them for various things

[@PelletsandPits]

Great comment...thanks...

[@sunnyvalejedi]

Great video! I use a plastic drywall applicator to scrape up as it's a little more forgiving and less likely to gouge the cooker.

[@frankmarullo228]

It's raining really hard out here put all my morning plans on hold till at least Tuesday ! So I'm watching you tube like this one guys. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA..,....

[@barsey74]

I found cheap plastic putty knives for scraping the inside of your pit work well. Dollar store has them and they have great flex to them.

[@PelletsandPits]

Absolutely

[@The_Original_Big_Daddy]

How about that, you taught an old dog new tricks! I really loved the recommendation on the sheet tray + racks, as well as the off brand disposable grease bucket liners. And this may sound silly, but I've always pulled the tray out of the bottom of the smoker and stood it vertically in a large trash can. Then I see you scraping it inside the smoker, and I was thinking "duh!" why aren't I doing that! Great video Neal!

[@PelletsandPits]

hahah On the lone star...it actually helps "soak up the wood ash" s so when your done..mix the ash and the grease...works wonders

[@jaybooth4815]

Great tips Neal! I like using the pellet containers to store my pellets. I like the 5 gallon containers but if you really snap on those lids they’re almost impossible to get off. Thanks for sharing brother! Cheers y’all.

[@Grizpit]

Agree with the comment on the square mesh cooling racks. Even the dish washer wont get them clean. I usually end up putting them on my gas grill at 600+ degrees for 15 min and then hit the corners with a propane torch. I like your solution better.

[@PelletsandPits]

Just got absolutely ridiculously how time I would spend to clean...I wish I had done this way earlier on in life...

[@conradkostelecky7935]

One thing I have seen in the back ground but you didn't mention today was the roll away tool storage cabinet. A good place to store all the accessories like temp probes, spatulas, domed covers, seasonings, the gloves, cleaning supplies, etc.

[@PelletsandPits]

True...didn't now how many people would have one...I have a TON of grills...because of my line of work..so I didn't know it it was me or most..ahhahah thanks for pointing that out

[@danwaligursky4258]

One that works well is our Pit Boss Large spatula to get hams & butts off with. Very thick metal does not bend at all.

[@garryhammond3117]

Thanks Neal! - All great options! - Cheers!

[@tonybean5756]

Hello Neal, my friend attached a surge protector to a leg on his pellet smoker. What a convenience it is to be able to plug in a rotisserie and more at the same time. All the best to you and yours.

[@PelletsandPits]

That's a great idea! Thank YOU...

[@DerekFletcher1]

This is EXTREMELY helpful!

[@PelletsandPits]

I appreciate that...

[@TheFoodExperience]

Great video Neal!! A lot of good and very thorough explanations in this video. Excellent work!

[@PelletsandPits]

Much appreciated!

[@gharv1313]

Awesome info Neal! Hope you and Amy have a awesome weekend brother! Cheers 🍻

[@PelletsandPits]

Thanks! You too!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing this info with us Neil. Enjoyed the video a lot. Fred.

[@PelletsandPits]

Thanks for watching bud

[@waymor2460]

I love my pellet smoker but it consistently runs 30-60 degrees hotter than it indicates. A separate temp probe for ambient temperature is a must. My smoker has no shelf space except for the pellet hopper. They sell a folding shelf for the front but it’s $100. For $40 I bought a plastic folding table that accommodates all utensils, sauces, spray bottles and there’s plenty of room to wrap ribs or a pork butt or a brisket. I use it every cook.

[@PelletsandPits]

Great tip...thanks

[@noelrodriguez1020]

lighting for late cooks

[@PelletsandPits]

great idea...thanks

[@markb.1259]

LOL.... so I'm NOT the first person to turn my "old Skechers" into mowing shoes? LOL

[@wheelairrentals7132]

Your Pot Boss Navigator has two hook rests under and behind the front folding shelf

[@stonerscravings]

Great tips

[@markb.1259]

11:45- Seriously?? LOCKING doors on the pellet grill? That's funny as heck!! LOL

[@PelletsandPits]

im not sure about this comment...i clicked on the time stamp...this was a cabinet tool chest not a smoker...I showed 5 gallon buckets, and common pellet bins right after...the locking doors is not a pellet grill...

[@markb.1259]

@@PelletsandPits Ahhhhh- Now I see said the blind man! haha My Bad.

[@joeolivera1885]

Love your videos. I have an issue with large hands. Have you ever found XX-large gloves with liners? Bought the BBQ Joes and had to give them away.

[@PelletsandPits]

To be honest I have not looked...BUT people have commented that Harbor Freight has the cotton gloves....maybe they have sizes

[@jakespencer8077]

💯! Great ideas!

[@LearningToLiveTexasHomestead]

You showing the magnets and then showing how at least that particular smoker dumps pellets, you could even use one of the magnets to hold the chute trap door open so you don't have to stand there holding it open

[@bigreb62]

Cotton gloves really cheap at Harbor Freight

[@PelletsandPits]

TY

[@GMDGeek]

I keep my power cords off the ground and tucked away, not because of water but due to 3 dogs lol

[@PelletsandPits]

hahhaah true...

[@mcruiess]

Can you do a review of the Searwood?

[@PelletsandPits]

Already ready to go...this Monday or Tuesday...

[@mcruiess]

Awesome

[@jasondonovan190]

On gloves. Can you use rubber gloves from harbor freight

[@PelletsandPits]

I honestly dont know....I would be wrong if I told you different considering I have not used em...

[@jasondonovan190]

Where do you buy your gloves from

[@timmoore3534]

Can buy cotton gloves at tractor supply a dozen for $9

[@JohnJohnDu4]

I spot a Searwood

[@PelletsandPits]

[@idonwantella2824]
