Replacing a Woodridge Series Firepot

What's in This Article?

What is a firepot?

Your grill's firepot is exactly what it sounds like: it's the vessel that contains the fire that heats your grill. The auger feeds pellets from the hopper into the firepot, where the hot rod then ignites the pellets, and the firepot keeps the fire safely contained.
