Over the last 2 years, Applied Control Electronics in Placerville Ca, has worked with Kuma Stoves Inc. to develop the digital controls for the Madera pellet grill.  The control system, called Logic~Fire, is a smart yet easy to use design that delivers even temperatures no matter the weather outside.  The controls react quickly to different conditions creating a  temperature reference point then makes precise adjustments to maintain that temperature.  Terry Burke, lead software developer, calls this “ambient temperature compensation”.  Regardless of the weather conditions, the amount of food on the grill, or the type of BBQ pellet that you are using, the Madera pellet grill with Logic~Fire will compensate to maintain an even set temperature.

In addition to the precision temperature, the control has an onboard meat probe input that allows you to cook large cuts of meat to a specific internal temperature.  The control also features a low temperature alarm, different climate zone program modes, and variable fan speed for controlled smoke production.  All of these features in a simple, easy to use, control that gets you grilling with the push of a button.

Foslom, CA – On May 8th at a local roundup for the hearth and barbecue industry, company owner Mark Freeman and some guest grillers from the area fired up the 2nd generation prototype of the upcoming Madera smoker-grill.  The aromas coming from the grill attracted plenty of attention and the samples off the grill were highly acclaimed. In fact, one gentleman rated his fare as, “the best chicken I have ever eaten.”  The crew also grilled up some 4-cheese stuffed portobello mushrooms, baked some amazing chocolate chip cookies and smoked some delicious pork ribs. This was the first time that the Madera smoker-grill was fired up for an event and it met with very positive reviews.  The grill will not be available until 2013 so please keep following our progress if you are interested in the Madera smoker grill.
