Bullseye Emptying old pellets

[Grappler]

Hi! I didn't use my Bullseye for a couple of months. During that time we had some rain. Now it wants to light up, but, I can only get a little bit smoke and hardly any heat after it being on for 20 minutes. I suspect the pellet were exposed to too much moisture. How do you empty out old pellets? Is there a quick way? Thanks!

Scoop them out with a cup, vacuum those you can't scoop.

That sounds like your problem. Others have had similar issues with pellets that absorbed moisture.

I was worried about this situation too. On T-day, I fired up the Bull that hadn't been run in months and it had rained a bit in the past few weeks. The grill was covered with a factory soft cover, but out in the open without any roof over it. I took a leap of faith and fired it up with the pellets in the half full hopper and it lit, then cranked it to my desired 400F, which it went right up to. Guess I got lucky.

I’ve used a leaf blower too after scooping, then just blew the mess off the patio onto the grass. Easy.
