Removing Pellets from Your Pellet Grill?…. Bucket Head Shop Vac!

There are a few good reasons I can think of to remove pellets from your pellet grill/smoker.

You want to switch to a different type of pellet for a particular cook.
You need to clear some sort of a jam or fix a problem.
You’re storing your pellet smoker and want to remove pellets to avoid potential problems.

Maybe some pellet grills have a way to easily remove pellets, but mine (Recteq RT-700)… does not.

Looking for solutions I cam across the Bucket Head Shop Vac. The Bucket Head attaches to any standard 5 gallon bucket and… vacuums. When I need to remove pellets from my pellet smoker, I just vacuum them out. When I’m done I detach the Bucket Head from the bucket and put a regular lid on for storage. It works great!

I only use this for pellets so I don’t have to worry about cross contamination with dirt and such.

Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application. Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application. Always read and follow manufacturer directions.

Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill with ACS – Limited Time Reduced Flat Rate Shipping

For a limited time All Things BBQ is offering reduced flat rate shipping when you buy a Yoder Smokers Y2640s Pellet Grill. This is a rare chance to get to get a deal.

Deals on Yoder Smokers are rare. Why? My guess is that this is a MAP line. MAP = Minimum Advertised Price. It’s an agreement between sellers and manufacturer’s not to sell an item below a certain price. This gear generally sells for about the same price no matter where you purchase it from and is rarely discounted.
