Stampede Removing Pellets

[Dan99]

Hi All What is the best way to remove pellet from my 590? It has a grid in the hopper that doesn't seem to come out?
THanks Dan

A lot of us get the small shop vacs that ttach to 5gallon buckets. And then just use it for pellets only. $23 or so?
"Buckethead" is one.

If the 590 is like the 340, there's screws on the underside of the guard. I took my guard off and just leave it sit on top of the pellets. I'll run the pellets down to just about empty, or use a dedicated vac that I use to suck up the remaining.

First mod for me was removing the grate. I like stirring the hopper occasionally to avoid bridging on long cooks.
A small, dedicated shop vac will be your best bet.
My pallet may just be barbaric, but I don't notice a drastic enough difference in pellet smoke flavor to worry too much about changing them.

Hi If the screws are on the under side, how did u get to them?
Thanks Dan

Assuming the 590 hopper is set up similar to the 340, once the pellet level is below the grate, it's easy with a Phillips to take it out. Mine now just sits on top of

the screws.

Hi It looks the same. Where are the screws?
Thanks dan

Look in the photo above, they are in the grate. They might be covered in pellet dust, but they are there.

 

[Dan99]

Are they on top of the grate. I'm going out too check mine. I don't see any screws on top of the grid?
Thanks Dan

Funny, I have no grate in my 590. Sounds like that is a good thing.

A small dedicated shop vac will do the trick. They make a pretty small one that is easy to store. It keeps a nice BBQ smell in the closet where you store it. What could be better? ??

He was talking about a specific type of vac. See the link in post #11. You have something different.

So I can't hook my vac to a 5 gallon bucket? I can use my vac to get the pellets out.
Thanks Dan
