Hello,
I tried to use my pellet grill again yesterday.
I cooked 2 racks of spare ribs at 275 just under 4 hours total and they were nasty and burned flavor from the grease burning.
I cooked them 3 hours at 275 on the smoker flat with some rub and spritzed with apple juice a few times, then wrapped for 45 minutes then sauced for 5-10 and done.
The Cabela's ( camp chef dlx ) pit was clean when I started, I even ran it earlier in the week and just burned off anything that was lingering at 400. The pit is level and drains into the bucket.
Pics show the handful of burned fat/grease that was left after the cook. Is this the expected behavior of this grill?
Do all models of pellet grills behave this way?
Is it better to run these low and slow so the fat burns less?
I must be missing something or is this just an oven that everything is to be cooked in a pan?
Really scratching my head and any input would be appreciated.
thanks in advance!
