The Cuisinart Clermont Pellet Grill is unlike any other pellet grill. Priced around $700, it’s like an outdoor oven with the benefit of smoke.
How is Grilling Different Than Barbecuing?
Barbecuing is a slow and low process, which involves cooking with hardwood, charcoal or wood pellets over indirect heat. The ambient temperature of the smoker heats the meat and breaks down collagen to create succulent dishes.
Grilling involves cooking directly over a fire source hot and fast. Pellet grill manufacturers have slowly been adding this feature to their products to provide the versatility of both cooking methods.
What makes the Cuisinart Clermont Pellet Grill & Smoker Different
Most pellet grills are designed similar to a traditional offset smoker. They include one maybe two racks of cooking space with a lid that lifts up.
The Clermont on the other hand is designed more like a commercial oven. It has two large French-style glass doors with two cooking racks that can be adjusted to five different levels.
Just like an oven, you can use it to bake, roast and braise, but because it’s a pellet grill, you can also use it to smoke, barbecue and even grill.
