How Your Country Smoker Works 101

The perfect barbecue experience starts with filling your hopper (2) with all natural wood pellets.
Press the "START" touch pad (18), this activates the "Fan" (6) which is used to cool the hopper (2),
cause the pellets to burn (8) and results in convection cooking (14). It also activates the electronic Auto Igniter
(7), and the pellet feed system (3,5).
A motorized Auger Motor (5) and Metal Auger Shaft (3), deliver the pellets to the burn grate (8). Your Country
Smoker uses "Top Feed" technology, which means the Auger (3,5) delivers the pellets up above the burn grate (8)
and then the fuel drops into the burn grate. The strength of the auger motor (5), the metal shaft (3) and the open
design reduce the possibilities of "jams" and allows for the use of less than premium quality fuel.
Adjusting the "Temperature Control Switch" on the Control Board (17) sets the speed of the feed, thus the
temperature output. This control has no presets and is fully adjustable, from hot smoke to searing.
The "Electronic Auto Igniter (7) activates for 7 minutes, igniting the pellets in the burn grate (8).
The Combustion / Cooling fan (6) cools the hopper (16); provides combustion air to the burn grate (8); and causes
air movement in the cooking area (14), resulting in convection cooking.
The fuel burns in the burn grate (8) hot and intense, somewhat like a forge. The fly ash is directed downward by
the "Arched Flavor Guard" (12) and can be cleaned out periodically from inside the bottom of the barrel.
The "Arched Flavor Guard" (12) protects the food from direct contact with the flame; gives a large hot metal area
to help evaporate the juices back into the cooking resulting in added flavor; channels excess grease directly to a
grease pail (11); and distributes the heat evenly throughout the cooking area.
The natural smoke flavor produced by the burning pellets, the "Arched Flavor Guard" (12) and the fan enduced
"Convection Cooking" (14) combine to give you the savory flavor and even cooking that is unique to pellet grills
and will win you rave reviews each time you use it.
TIP
Your Country Smoker Grill can run efficiently over extended periods of time
and at different heat output levels, as long as the fuel supply is dry,
uninterrupted and timely cleaning and maintenance is performed.
