System and method for regulating the flow of smoke in an indoor smoker

A smoke regulating assembly operably coupled with a smoking chamber, the smoke regulating assembly comprising:

• an outer housing defining an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture;
• a firebox positioned within and fixed relative to the outer housing, the firebox defining a smoldering chamber for receiving combustible material and a flow of fresh air to generate a flow of smoke;
• and
• a control cylinder rotatably mounted within the outer housing and around the firebox, the control cylinder defining a plurality of flow regulating apertures and being rotatable to selectively align the flow regulating apertures with the inlet aperture and the outlet aperture to regulate the flow of fresh air and the flow of smoke, wherein the control cylinder is rotatable to the following positions:
• a smoking position where a fresh air inlet is aligned with the inlet aperture and a smoke outlet is aligned with the outlet aperture such that the smoldering chamber is in fluid communication with the smoking chamber;
• an evacuation position where the fresh air inlet and the smoke outlet are blocked;
• and
• a pause position where the fresh air inlet is open and a bypass aperture is aligned with a bypass port.
