The entire line of Country Smokers utilizes the exact same Hopper and component
parts. To increase the life of your grill and its main working component parts the
Combustion / Cooling fan is used to perform 3 main functions:
1. Pressurize the internal hopper compartment to cool the wiring and electrical
component parts, the “Paddle Wheel” feed system and the wood pellet fuel.
2. Forces constant air movement between the hopper and grill barrel wall.
Because of the higher temperatures needed for searing and because of the
longer length of time a pellet grill can operate, to slow smoke a whole hog, air
movement is used to provide a barrier between the two surfaces. Note the air
slots found at the top of the hopper, between the lid and the grill.
Ensure that these do not get blocked off at any time.
3. To provide combustion air allowing the pellet fuel to burn properly. The fan forced
air is then used to provide “Convection Cooking” within the smokin grill.
Convection cooking locks in the juices and distributes the heat evenly throughout
the grill resulting in that savory flavour and near perfect cooking.

Louisiana Grills uses a “High Heat BBQ Paint” finish throughout the entire line of
Country Smokers. This is done to allow easy and trouble free maintenance, adding
to the life and look of your smoking grill. Baked enamel and porcelain finishing
require as much, if not more, maintenance and up keep. If they do scratch or chip
and moisture gets between the surface and the exposed metal, the problem becomes
even larger. “Surface Rust” and “Food Acids” are two of the most common factors
that effect your smokers finish. Surface rust can develop for a number of reasons;
such as pets, kids, accidents, weather, etc. Acids that are found in many common
foods and meats can also act as a corrosive on most finishes. A paint grade finish
may require a periodic sanding and a touch-up painting once a season to maintain
that just new appearance. Louisiana Grills uses a Black color, “Stove Bright” brand,
High Heat BBQ Paint. This can be purchased from your local dealer or through
Louisiana Grills. This paint is a silicone epoxy base and is designed for up to 1100°F
(600°C) .Paint Grade allows flexibility in the color you may desire to match the decore
of your cooking area or your favorite team. A good quality grill cover is a great
investment in keeping your grill looking good and lasting longer.

Your Country Smokin Grill comes complete with porcelain coated cooking grills or
grids, as they are called by the “Pit Masters”. Porcelain grids may not have the same
heat retention as cast iron, but they do show “grid marks” and are never easy to
clean. To maintain the searing and grilling performance of your grid, as well as their
longevity, some special care and maintenance is required.

All Country Smokers use the “Arched Flavor Guard” system that channels any excess
grease, that does not evaporate, directly to a sealed grease catch area. From here
any excess grease is directed to the drop spout where it is disposed in an easy to
replace, low cost soda or beverage can of your choose. The can is hung in place
using the J style hook that is mounted through the grease spout. Simply by lifting the
pull tab from the beverage can, upwards, allows the can to easily hook on to the J
hook. Allow the grease to cool before removing the can or for those extra fatty
foods, you may need to replace the can while using the smoker. If this is the case be
sure to wear an oven or bbq glove, as the can will be hot and cause burning.
