History of the Smoker Grill
The very first Smoker grill was introduced in 1985. Joe Traeger was the man behind the concept and the construction of the Smoker grill. After spending a year creating his smoker-grill, he obtained a patent and started production at a commercial level. The smoker-grill looked like traditional smokers in terms of its exterior design. There was a drum barrel and a chimney. But the internal components were the pure magic. Traeger divided the internal design into three parts. These three parts were the sections where Preferred Wood Pellet pellets had to go to get burned.
The storage hopper was the first section, which worked as storage for the Preferred Wood Pellet pellets in the smoker-grill. Then, the next stop for the pellets was the drill, which was a rotating section. This rotation allowed Preferred Wood Pellet pellets to reach the third and final section. This final section was called a firebox or burning box. In this area, a fan allowed the proper distribution of the cultivated heat.
In the early designs, the user had to light the smoker-grill manually. However, the design got updated with time, and now, there are entirely electric Smoker grills available.
The reduction in Pellet size revolutionized the whole smoking and grilling process. The machine obtained the ability to balance the Smoke Temperatures on its own for as long as required. This convenience was not available with charcoal burning smokers. At the same time, Preferred Wood Pellet pellets also provided more variety based on the flavorful Hard Wood choices available.
It would not be wrong to say that the BBQ world experienced a revolution with the introduction of the Smoker grill. Cooking got more uncomplicated and more comfortable, which gave even newbies a chance to smoke, grill, bake, and roast. The machine could handle the Smoke Temperature on its own, so the users could be stress-free and safe when cooking. In 2007, after the expiration of Traegers patent, the Smoker grill market opened for more advanced options. This led to more advancements and automation in the equipment.
