Stampede Just Placed Order for RT-590

[jdubz]

Just placed my order for the RT-590 and can't wait! Sear kit out of stock.
Coming from Weber Genesis Silver which was nice, but had uneven heating surface that was a pain, among other problems. Not bad for a 15+ year old grill but obtained WAF so time to upgrade. This will be my only grill.
I also:
Took advantage of the pellets discount.
Watched too many videos, LOL.
Ordered probe holder and drain plug from Etsy.
Ordered lid gasket and several rubs from Amazon.
Will be picking up the cover from Walmart.
Found 3 butchers within 10 minutes of where I live(!).

It's going to be a good summer!

Question: how are you storing pellets? Keeping them in the bag? In a different container? Inside or outside?
I know pellets + moisture = bad, so trying to figure out best strategy (at least for me).

Thanks.

You can purchase the Grill Grates from Grillgrates.com direct, I've heard for less money that from Recteq. I highly recommend them for the 590. I keep pellets in 5 gal containers with screw on lids.

Welcome to the addiction!

Jdubz -

Here is my storage arrangement for pellets. The top one I got from Sam’s club and the bottom one on wheels from Fleet Farm.

@jdubz congrats on the new purchase!

Regarding pellet storage. I keep mine in the garage in their original bags at the moment.

Several members have posted other storage methods using 5 gallon buckets or gamma vaults!

 

[Dano]

Sams Club has those gamma vaults for 24.99

Thanks all! I'll checkout GrillGrates. And after looking at those container prices, I may just keep pellets in the bag in the garage for now.

And now the wait begins.

There's a wait? LOL

Here's an interesting tidbit - for Grillgrates:
Grillgrate.com: $109.58
Recteq.com: $102.09

Both out of stock but Grillgrate says they'll be in on 6/18. I'll wait to see if Recteq get them in around that time and order from there.

All of those buckets and vaults look mighty cool, but I still keep mine in the bag, in the garage until needed. Other than simplicity, the main reason is that I want to keep the pellets as whole as possible, and pouring them in and out of thing just seems like it would make pellet powder to me. That's probably in my head, but it keeps me from making the switch.

Congrats on you purchase! I use this container for pellet storage. It makes pouring easy and has good protection against the elements.

 

[mooncusser2k]

That same container is sold in a different color for pet food storage.

 

[FastEddie]

Congrats!
I store my pellets in the bag in one of those old school metal trash cans outside next to the grill.

I just got my 590 about 2 weeks ago. You are going to love it.
