Hi all,
Does anyone know if the igniter is used once the smoker has started up? We're having a heat wave and expecting rolling power outages. So I could lose power while my ribs are smoking. Thinking ahead - if I loose power mid-cook, I can get by with 200W 12V to 120V power inverter to keep the auger and control panel operational as long as the igniter doesn't engage and up the draw.
I know I can disconnect the igniter in advance, do a maual start. But I really don't have time for a major disassembly/flip to do that.
Thanks in advance.

New forum member here. I've had the Series 5 Copperhead vertical smoker since June 2020 and LOVE it. I've done ribs twice, spatchcock chichen, tri-tip, mac-n-cheese, bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers. Everything has been outstanding. Ribs and poppers on the menu again today. Both are family favorites now.
