Abstract: A system having a hopper that receives fuel pellets and direct the pellets under gravity feed to an auger that moves the pellets into a firepot inside a cooking chamber of a grill. The system includes a door below the auger that has a closed position that retains fuel pellets in the auger such that the fuel pellets feed to the auger, and has an opened position to allows the pellets to empty from the hopper and away from the auger. A closing mechanism allows a user to selectively open or close the door.

Abstract: An enclosure for use in a cooking grill. The enclosure has a lower portion defining an opening that receives combustion gases from a combustion source via a bottom opening, and an upper portion interposing the lower portion and the cooking grate and having a floor with an opening that receives the lower portion and combustion gases therefrom and directs them to the cooking grate. The floor slopes to a grease drain.

Abstract: A floor and an upright sidewall formed from two vertically coaxial components, each component having a floor baffle with a plurality of floor openings defined therein, each floor retained within a respective upright sidewall with a plurality of sidewall openings defined therein. The floor openings and the sidewall openings cooperate between the two coaxial components such that flow of gases through the floor and upright sidewall of the baffle structure is controlled by rotation of the two vertically coaxial components relative to one another.

Abstract: A cooking device has a cooking chamber and a firebox affixed to a bottom of the cooking chamber and in fluid communication with the cooking chamber.

Abstract: A first bracket affixes to a first cooking component body and defines a first passageway therethrough. A second bracket affixes to a second cooking component body and defines a second passageway therethrough. The first and second brackets may be joined together to form a continuous passageway from the first cooking component body to the second cooking component body.

Abstract: A cooking grill has a firepot configured to burn pelletized fuel fed from an auger, a cooking grate above the firepot, and a double walled enclosure interposing the firepot and the cooking grate and containing and directing flow of combustion gases from the firepot up to the cooking grate.

Abstract: A control system for a pellet fueled cooking device includes at least two adjustable smokestacks selectively allowing combustion gases to escape from a cooking chamber, and an air adjustment mechanism being adjustable between a first position where air flow into a firepot is substantially blocked and a second position where airflow into the firepot is allowed.

Abstract: An electrically driven auger selectively feeds fuel pellets from a pellet hopper to a fire pot inside a cooking grill. An auger tube has a lower radius cooperatively shaped with a circumference of the auger with a pair of spaced apart sidewalls extending upwardly from the radius to define an opening above the auger that is at least as wide as a diameter of the auger.

Abstract: A smoker is formed from at least one generally cylindrical segment of a first diameter and at least one generally cylindrical segment of a second diameter. The first diameter is greater than the second diameter and a ledge is formed between the at least one generally cylindrical segment of a first diameter and the at least one generally cylindrical segment of a second diameter when the two are joined one atop the other.

Abstract: A filter insert is sized to fit into a fuel pellet handling bucket and has a filter floor elevated by a plurality of standoffs to define a space below the screen mesh fuel insert.
