US 2018/0279633 A1 · Smoker with Smoke Management System

Abstract

A smoker for cooking a food product that has a smoke dissipater mounted inside the cabinet for dissipating smoke using a high capacity ion generator for negatively charging smoke molecules so that the negatively charged molecules agglomerate with positively charged smoke molecules resulting in heavier molecules that precipitate out of the air within the cabinet. The smoker further may include charged plates within the cabinet that attract the charged smoke molecules to further accelerate dissipation of the smoke within the cabinet. The smoker also includes an air exchanger including a low capacity ion generator, and a cabinet exhaust for continuously refreshing the smoke within the cabinet.

Dependent claims

A smoker for cooking a food product comprising:

a. a cabinet with a top, a bottom, sides, a back, an access door, and at least one rack vertically located within the cabinet for holding the food product to be cooked;
b. a source of smoke for imparting a smoked flavor to the food product;
and
c. a smoke dissipater mounted inside the cabinet for dissipating smoke within the cabinet, the smoke dissipater including:
i. a high-capacity ion generator for charging smoke molecules;
and
ii. a circulation fan for drawing smoke molecules into the ion generator, wherein the charged smoke molecules upon exiting the smoke dissipater agglomerate with other smoke molecules and precipitate out of the air within the cabinet.
