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.
