The only correction I would say, is that the ignition rod does not operate at all on most smokers once it’s above its lowest temp setting. Some have a relight setting that will turn on the rod if the temps fall well below that lowest temp setting. You can verify this by just putting on a watt meter on your pit and you will notice 150-200 watts to start up and then even at low temps the amount of power used is in the sub 50 watts mean in the rod is off and the only power used is to run the auger, controller and fan which use minimal power.
