Hi,
I just got a cabelas pellet grill ( camp chef dlx ) and I like the unit.
The first few times I did not foil the grease pan and just scraped it off after/before each cook and especially if I cooked at 300 to 350 it would give off a burning grease smell vs a smoker smell.
Then I tried foil a few times and I did not get it smooth enough and the grease just sat in puddles and short of smoked and smelled also when I made some chicken and pork butt at 300.
So what do the majority of folks do? foil or not?
And how do get a pellet smoker not to burn and smoke grease when you run them hot? Burn them off first at 400?
thanks in advance
