Rendering tallow in pellet grill?

[seanc770]

I buy my beef by the 1/2 cow. I have about 15lbs of beef tallow left after regular rendering process. I was thinking about rendering the rest in my pellet grill for a smokey flavor option to my frying choices. Any suggestions? Any one do this before? Thanks for the help.

Easy.
I just place the beef trimmings in an oven proof dish and place it in the smoker the next time I do a brisket or butt.
You'll have to strain the liquid renderings.

Does it pick up the smokey flavor?

Depends on what temp you're cooking at.
Pellets grills produce the most smoke under 300 degrees.

I also buy our beef by 1/2 steer

I usually render around 250, and you're correct the lower temps do provide more smoke. Very nice of you to share your knowledge. Im going to give it a try.
