Abstract: Pellet grills having selectable manual modes are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes memory, machine-readable instructions, and processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is to execute the machine-readable instructions to determine whether a cook mode selection received at the pellet grill is associated with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) cook mode or a manual cook mode. In response to determining that the cook mode selection is associated with the manual cook mode, the processor circuitry is to execute the machine-readable instructions to command at least one of an auger or a fan of the pellet grill to perform a manually-controlled cooking operation based on an auger setting selection and a fan setting selection associated with the manual cook mode.

Abstract: Pellet grills and associated methods of operation are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes a lid, a cooking chamber, an engine, and one or more processors. The lid is movable between a closed position and an open position. The engine is configured to output heat to the cooking chamber. The one or more processors are configured to detect a closing movement of the lid. In response to detecting the closing movement, the one or more processors are configured to command the engine to operate in an increased output mode that increases the heat output of the engine.

Abstract: Example methods and apparatus for automatically advancing steps of cook programs for grills based on detected lid position data are disclosed. An example grill includes a cookbox, a lid, a cooking chamber, and a controller. The lid is movable relative to the cookbox between a closed position and an open position. The cooking chamber is defined by the cookbox and the lid, and is accessible to a user of the grill when the lid is in the open position. The controller is to implement a cook program to cook an item of food within the cooking chamber. The cook program includes a plurality of ordered steps, which include a lid-opening step requiring the lid to be moved from the closed position to the open position. In response to determining, based on lid position data, that the lid-opening step has been performed, the controller is to automatically advance the plurality of ordered steps from the lid-opening step to a next step of the plurality of ordered steps.
