Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods of use and manufacture are provided for a modular grill and smoker device micro-coated with an oxide layer for cooking food that include a first chamber, a door for opening and sealably closing the first chamber, an airflow corridor creating a hull around the first chamber for channeling air around the first chamber with at least one lower vent and at least one upper vent, as well as integration with electronic user devices.
Claims20
A modular cooking apparatus micro-coated with an oxide layer, comprising:
- a heating source location;
- a first chamber defined by at least one first chamber wall;
- a second chamber defined by at least one second chamber wall and coupled with the first chamber, wherein the least one first chamber wall and the least one second chamber wall are micro-coated with the oxide-layer;
- an inlet vent coupled with the second chamber;
- and
- an outlet vent coupled with the second chamber,
- wherein, during operation of the apparatus, the first chamber is operable to cook food by retaining heat generated in the heating source location and
- wherein, during operation of the apparatus, the second chamber defines an airflow corridor such that air located exterior to the second chamber is drawn into the apparatus via the inlet vent and air heated in the airflow corridor is emitted from the apparatus via the outlet vent.
A cooking system micro-coated with an oxide layer, comprising:
- a modular cooking device, comprising:
- a heating source location;
- a first chamber having at least one first chamber wall micro-coated with the oxide-layer;
- an inlet vent;
- an outlet vent;
- and
- a second chamber, having at least one second chamber wall micro-coated with the oxide-layer,
- wherein the second chamber is coupled with the first chamber, the inlet vent and the outlet vent such that the second chamber defines an airflow corridor from the inlet vent, to a space between the first chamber wall and second chamber wall, to the outlet vent and
- wherein the modular cooking device includes at least one weld created using a robotic fabrication system;
- and
- a support device, operable to couple with the modular cooking device.
A method of operating a modular cooking device using a computing device, wherein the modular cooking device includes a heating source location, a first chamber having at least one first chamber wall micro-coated with the oxide-layer, a second chamber, having at least one second chamber wall micro-coated with the oxide-layer, and wherein the second chamber is coupled with the first chamber, an inlet vent and an outlet vent such that the second chamber defines an airflow corridor from the inlet vent, to a space between the first chamber wall and second chamber wall, to the outlet vent, the method comprising:
- executable instructions associated with a recipe, stored in non-transitory memory, that when received from the computing device and executed by a processor of the modular cooking device, cause the processor to:
- initiate a heating operation of the modular cooking device in accordance with the recipe that causes heating inside a cooking chamber of the modular cooking device;
- monitor an internal temperature of the cooking chamber via at least one sensor;
- if necessary to comply with the recipe, adjust at least one component affecting the heating operation if a temperature threshold is met;
- and
- transmit at least one notification to the computing device that causes the device to notify a user of a condition of the recipe,
- wherein data from the sensor that is related to the heating operation are stored in non-transitory memory for later review by the user.
