Abstract
The invention relates to a burner housing for a pellet grill having two or more elongated apertures configured to have a first end with an adjacent first width and a second end with an adjacent second width, the adjacent second width relatively greater than the adjacent second width. The burner housing generates an air vortex when in burner operation in such a manner as to provide relatively more air movement in an area somewhat distal to the burner, thereby retaining an optimal amount of ash during lengthy cooking cycles while also providing optimal fuel-to-air characteristics.
Claims24
A burner housing for a pellet grill comprising:
- a first end with a first end opening;
- a second end;
- and
- a substantially continuous side portion having two or more elongated apertures disposed thereon,
- wherein each of the two or more elongated apertures is configured to have a first end with an adjacent first width and a second end with an adjacent second width, the adjacent first width relatively greater than the adjacent second width.
A burner housing for a pellet grill comprising:
- a first end with a first end opening;
- a second end;
- and
- a substantially continuous side portion having two or more elongated apertures disposed thereon,
- wherein the two or more apertures are configured to provide relatively more air movement in an area adjacent to the first end than in an area adjacent to the second end when in burner operation.
A burner housing for a pellet grill comprising:
- a first end opening and a second end opening;
- and
- a cylindrical and substantially continuous side portion having
- a plurality of elongated apertures disposed thereon, wherein each elongated aperture within the plurality of elongated apertures is generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the burner housing and configured to have a first end with an adjacent first width and a second end with an adjacent second width, the adjacent first width relatively greater than the adjacent second width;
- a plurality of directional fins wherein each directional fin within the plurality of directional fins is adjacent to one or more elongated apertures of the plurality of elongated apertures and configured to angle towards an inner portion of the burner housing;
- the plurality of elongated apertures and the plurality of directional fins further configured to generate a vortex of air above an area adjacent to a burner so as to retain a portion of particulate matter within the area when in burner operation.
