Next, pull and hold the handle to drain. You can re-fill the empty hopper with any pellet flavor you choose. Extra pellet storage buckets can be purchased so you can store all your favorite flavors. Removing excess pellets from the hopper when the grill is not in use will help them stay dry and prevents them from breaking down in the grill, which could cause a jam.
The QuickDraw Hopper holds up to lbs. We recommend filling the hopper at the beginning of every cook and emptying it completely when finished cooking.
No, but it will keep your pellets safe during use. As always, empty the QuickDraw Hopper between cooks to keep your pellets dry and in good condition. Approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
This is a two-person job, so be sure to have some assistance. Yes, we make a custom cover to fit each Rider Pellet Grill. Seasoning your grill before cooking will burn off any manufacturing residues, protect your grill surfaces and create the beginning of a cooked-in surface treatment that will add to the flavor of your cooks.
Follow the detailed instructions for seasoning your grill in its included grilling guide. It uses proprietary algorithms to control and maintain your set cooking temperatures while avoiding temperature swings. Once you set your desired cooking temperature, the Pit Control System takes care of the rest. It is also equipped with two guidance features:. The small temp sensor cable has an easily identifiable black connector. Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal grate or ash pan.
We recommend using 2 pounds approximately 30 briquettes to start your fire, adding more as needed. If using lighter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid and let it soak in for approximately 5 minutes.
If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire starter, light your fire according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always light the fire with the cooking chamber and firebox lids open. Leave lid open until briquettes are fully lit. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighter fluid in grill and may result in a flash fire when lid is opened. Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals, as flashbacks may occur causing injury.
You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquettes ashes over and produces a red glow approximately 12 — 15 minutes. Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquettes in a pile or spread evenly across the charcoal grate using a long-handled poker. Most Popular. Brush all interior surfaces, including grills and grates, with vegetable cooking oil. Build a small fire on the fire grate or pan with charcoal, being sure not to lay coals against the walls.
Close door. Position damper and smokestack damper approximately to one quarter open. This burn should be sustained for at least two hours the longer the better. Then, begin increasing temperature by opening the damper and smokestack damper halfway and adding more charcoal.
Two-Zone — Charcoal is arranged with an even layer on one side of the grill and no coals on the other side. This arrangement gives you a direct heat side for grilling meats and an indirect heat side to cook vegetables at the same time. Types of Charcoal. Charcoal briquettes are compressed blocks of coal dust or charcoal, sawdust, wood chips, peat, or paper used for fuel and kindling to start a fire.
Briquettes burn longer, maintain steady temperatures and cost less than natural lump charcoal. Natural lump charcoal is made by slowly burning pieces of wood in the absence of oxygen until all the natural chemicals, sap and moisture are released from the wood. Natural Lump ignites faster, burns hotter and imparts more flavor. Temperature Control. The most prominent factors in adjusting and maintaining your desired temperature are air flow and the height of the charcoal grate.
Air Flow — Adjust the intake damper and the chimney to control the air flow. Charcoal Tray — If your grill is equipped with an adjustable charcoal tray, raise or lower its height to adjust for searing temps. Using Wood. Using them together is a very effective way to generate both heat and flavor. Wood chips are basically wood scraps and shavings that generate more smoke for short cooking times. Wood chunks are fist-size pieces of wood that generate a steady supply of smoke for long cooking times.
Putting Out Coals. First you need to fully close the intake damper and chimney to stop the air flow. It can take up to 1 hour for the coals to cool down, depending on how much unburned charcoal is left.
However, with proper usage, the device can deliver surprisingly tasty results. Cheaply-made smoker grills with only one temperature probe often require you to track the temperature fluctuation carefully. It is not a story for the Oklahoma Joe versions due to their a couple of digital temp probes.
The closer the hole is to the food, the more excellent results you will get. With this step, all the food that you are about to grill must be ready. Especially for meat, frozen meat can absorb smoke better than the room-temperature one. Next, use a chimney starter to light all the charcoal needed. If the coal is not available, the wood will be the best supplement. Both of them give you excellent food flavors. However, wood fires may leave some ash on the meat.
The oxygen intake is an important part that helps the smoker run as a heat maker. Firstly, you keep two baffles, including the intake baffle and chimney baffle, fully opened. Secondly, add some fuel into the smoker, wait for it to heat up, and then adjust the baffles.
Then, filling the firefox with coals will be the next step. And you add the meat into the smoker only when the temp reaches the desired level. In Step 3, we have already mentioned two baffles that will do different functions to maintain the temperature. The heat is under the control of the intake baffle while the baffle at the chimney controls the smoke.
When the temperature starts to decrease, it is time to replenish the smoker with coals. As for wood chunks, it will be better to choose large pieces for smoking instead of small chips. For every cooking cycle, about one or two pieces are adequate to infuse smoke into the meat. Moreover, if you love to add more tasty flavors into the meat, some wood types like hardwoods and fruitwoods come as potential options.
Plus, soaking wood chunks is unnecessary before adding coals since moisture can affect the burning coal. In this step, you can add some moisture to gain a deliciously smoky taste without affecting the burning coal. The first way is to use a metal frame on the coal layer along with a water pan. The steam from the pan will provide the extra moisture for smoke and then for the meat. In case that the meat dries out while smoking, the second way will be worth trying. You can spray some mineral water or fruit juice into the meat to keep it juicy and add some additional flavors.
The Best Electric Smoker — Collection. Even when your Oklahoma Joe smoker comes with high quality, it cannot last for long without proper care. And cleaning properly and regularly is one of the most important things to lengthen its lifespan. After smoking, it is a must to remove all of the ashes on the smoker. If you skip this step, the ashes, along with humidity, will cause the rust for days. So, you should wait for the ashes to cool and sweep them out. Then, you moisten a cloth with warm water and wipe sauces and marinade left on the smoker.
