What is a wood Pellet Smoker?
wood pellet smoker , known commonly as a pellet grill, is an offset smoker that has been optimized in all the right places to ensure anything cooked in it tastes its best. Instead of throwing pure wood sticks as you would with an offset smoker, a pellet smoker drip-feeds pure hardwood pellets into the firebox to automatically maintain the temperature you’ve set. A pellet grill works by loading wood pellets into a hopper (like a chute), and a motorized corkscrew (also known as an auger) feeds them into the firepot when the internal system notices the temperature is dropping. The pellets in the firepot contact an ignition rod which sets them alight, and a fan circulates the air and feeds oxygen to the fire.
