If you’re looking for a grill that performs well and looks good doing it, the Cuisinart Clermont Pellet Grill is the way to go. The initial building process is time-consuming , but it’s worth it in the end. Inside, it features three customizable racks for a total of 1400 square inches of cooking space. It also holds 40 pounds of pellets at once, twice the amount of most of the pellet grills we tested.
We got off to a shaky start with the Pit Boss Sportsman 820. After unboxing the pieces, we found a welded-on nut had broken off of one of the legs. Fortunately, Pit Boss’ customer service was quick to respond with a workaround and get a replacement part shipped out so we could start enjoying the grill right away.

Built cuisinart pots and pans set around SnS Grill’s patented Slow ‘N Sear charcoal kettle accessory, this 22-inch kamado is a premium ceramic grill that brings true 2-zone cooking to a kamado.

There is a benefit to this approach over say a typical horizontal pellet grill in that you can watch the cook through the doors. The temp fluctuated 10-15F degrees during both cooks, which I find to be pretty standard on pellet grills. That fluctuation didn’t impact my cooks though, because the chamber is so large and because the cooking cuisinart soup maker takes place on the elevated racks. But when you’re ready to grill, you simply slide the handle in the front of the smoker to the left to expose the slots. Then, instead of cooking on one of the elevated racks, cook your meat directly over the flames on the cooking grate. 1 marketplaces are offering it on Ebay with coupons.
The Cuisinart Woodcreek & Twin Oaks only feature Bluetooth and not WiFi. As I discuss in my article on WiFi pellet grills/smokers, Bluetooth connectivity is not as useful as WiFi. However, in the case of the Cuisinart Clermont 1-2 lbs per hour is more realistic.
With insulated pellet cookers such as the Kamado Joe Pellet Joe, pellet consumption while smoking could actually be under 1lb per hour. I had some issues with the pellet sensor going off when I still had pellets…but I have a beta model. If you still have problems, you can disable that feature. Also, the right door can be a little hard to close. I found if you lift it slightly, that’s the secret. For more outdoor grilling with Cuisinart, check out my review of their 360 XL Griddle.
I really like being able to check out the internal temperatures from the app. The only thing is that you can’t control your cooking temperatures from the app. It needs to be adjusted manually on the LCD controller display on the grill. But it shouldn’t be a big problem in most cases. Worst case, you just step outside once or twice to adjust the temperature manually. It is not a big deal for me but I believe it’s worth the mention if it’s a feature that is important for you.
