The invention is a multi-firepot pellet grill that provides zoned cooking. The design incorporates two or more heat sources, strategically positioned within the cooking chamber, to provide consistent and even heat distribution, enabling a wider variety of cooking techniques, including zone cooking. In one or more embodiments, the invention incorporates a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller with or without altitude compensation technology to maintain precise temperature control.

A manifold for a grill may include a first and a second arm. The first arm is configured to be positioned on a first side of a grilling area of the grill and the second arm is configured to be positioned on a second side of the grilling area of the grill that is opposite to the first side of the grilling area. The first arm is configured to receive heat originating from a heat source of the grill and to provide an air flow for the heat through an interior passageway of the first arm and out of a plurality of apertures of the first arm. The second arm is configured to receive heat originating from the heat source of the grill and provide an air flow for the heat through an interior passageway of the second arm and out of the plurality of apertures of the second arm.

A grill including an upper shell and a lower shell is provided. The lower shell defines an opening there-through, and the upper shell and the lower shell together define a cooking chamber. A pellet burner is adapted to fit in the opening in the lower shell. The pellet burner includes an air duct having a first end and a second end. The first end is positioned outside of the lower shell and the second end is positioned inside of the lower shell when the pellet burner is fitted in the opening in the lower shell. The pellet burner includes a fan positioned to blow air through the air duct and through the second end of the air duct, and a pellet box configured to hold a plurality of pellets. An auger moves the pellets to a position adjacent the second end of the air duct that contains a hot rod.

Cooking apparatus comprises an oven. The oven comprises a cooking chamber, a heated air source, a flue, and a baffle. The cooking chamber extends between the heated air source and the flue, thereby defining, in use, a heated air flow path between said heated air source and said flue. The baffle is reversibly deployable in said heated air flow path to deflect heated air, thereby causing recirculation of heated air within the cooking chamber.

Examples are disclosed that relate to grills and methods of adjusting airflow through a fuel bowl of a grill. In one example, a grill includes a cooking grate and a fuel bowl configured to removably support the cooking grate. The fuel bowl includes an ash grate at a bottom surface. A base supports the bottom surface of the fuel bowl. The base comprises a first base side wall that defines a first base venting aperture, and a second base side wall opposite to the first base side wall that defines a second base venting aperture. A venting drawer is slidably received within the base, with the venting drawer comprising a first drawer side wall that defines a first drawer venting aperture, and a second drawer side wall opposite to the first drawer side wall and defining a second drawer venting aperture.
