Adaptable food smoker attachment

Abstract

An adaptable device attachable, adjustable and removable to and from the underside of natural or LP gas, electrical and certain conventional cooking grills and ovens, stationary or portable, such as are commonly employed to grill or cook food. The device includes a removable coupling unit which is mounted to a draft opening, normally a part of the underside of a grill or cooking unit. The lower area of the removable coupling unit has a smoking column, which is a tube, hollow column or barrel apparatus connectable thereto in a locking fashion and disconnectable therefrom in a reverse locking fashion, into which is placed a measurable volume of hardwood flakes or fine particles. Provided also is an electrical power heating source element to ignite or smolder the hardwood fine particles of flakes, the electric power heating source being sealed in the lower portion of the smoking column. The electric power heating source is connected to an electric power source through an electric power cord attachable to a battery or typical electric outlet. The flavoring smoke produced by the heating element is controlled smoke, which is drafted upward by standard or implemented draft openings in the underside of the grills or ovens other than the one of which the removably connected coupling unit is a part. The controlled smoke so generated flavors food on a plate in the grill or oven as needed.
