Easy to clean and maintain, pellet grills are very efficient and burn pellets down to fine ash. Any leftover ash can be vacuumed out with a shop vac a couple of times a year, depending on how often you use your grill. Plus, most grills have a collection “cup” that gathers most of the ash and can be emptied without taking the grill apart.

Hi, everybody. My name is Brad Gerber. I'm a buyer for North 40 Outfitters. I'm here to talk to you about pellet grills.

How hard is it to clean a pellet grill? These things are very easy to clean and maintain. The pellets burn down to a very fine ash. Leftover ash can be vacuumed out with a shop vac a couple times a year, depending on how much you use your grill. Most grills have a collection cup that gathers most of the ash and can be emptied without taking the grill apart.

Next, any grease that drips into your grill will land on the drip tray and funnel into your grease bucket. And finally, a pro tip. It is recommended that you cover your drip tray and your heat shield with aluminum foil. This speeds up the cleaning process immensely.
