The perfect barbecue experience begins with filling your hopper (1) with all natural wood pellets.
Click the power switch to the ON position. This activates the fan (2) used to cool the hopper and promote pellet combustion.
Simultaneously, the fan directs cool air up between the hopper and the burn chamber (3), thus cooling the hopper and feed system.

Pushing the ‘START’ touch pad activates the electronic auto igniter (4) and the pellet feed system (5).
A motorized rubber wheel (6) delivers the pellets to the burn grate (7).

Your Country Smoker uses top-feed technology which means the feed wheel delivers wood pellets up from above the burn pot area (8) where they then fall down a chute into the burn grate. The flexibility of the feed wheel and the open design reduce the possibility of pellet jams and allows for the use of less than premium quality fuel. Adjusting the temperature control switch sets the speed of the motorized feed wheel and the temperature output.

The igniter activates for approximately 7 minutes, igniting the pellets in the burn grate. The fan provides combustion air to the burn grate as well as creating air movement in the cooking area, resulting in convective cooking.
The fly ash is directed downward by the arched Flavor Guard (9) which also protects the food from direct flame. It gives a large, hot metal area to distribute heat evenly throughout the cooking area (10), help evaporate the juices back into the food, channeling excess grease directly to a grease pail (11).

The natural smoke flavor produced by the burning pellets and the circulation of air in the cooking chamber combine to give you that savory flavor that is unique to pellet grills and will win rave reviews each time you use it.
