Embodiments are directed to smoking food in an outdoor grill using a customized smoking routine. In one scenario, an electronic controller of an outdoor grill receives an input to initiate smoke generation according to a specified smoke generation pattern, including: adding a specified amount of combustible pellets to a combustion area within the outdoor grill, such that the combustible pellets begin to burn, measuring a current internal temperature of the outdoor grill and, if below a threshold value, adding a specified amount of additional combustible pellets to the combustion area sufficient to raise the temperature to another threshold value, allowing the internal temperature to cool a temperature below the first threshold value and, upon determining that the temperature of the outdoor grill has cooled below the first specified threshold value, adding additional combustible pellets to the combustion area sufficient to raise the temperature to at least the second threshold value.

A floor and an upright sidewall formed from two vertically coaxial components, each component having a floor baffle with a plurality of floor openings defined therein, each floor retained within a respective upright sidewall with a plurality of sidewall openings defined therein. The floor openings and the sidewall openings cooperate between the two coaxial components such that flow of gases through the floor and upright sidewall of the baffle structure is controlled by rotation of the two vertically coaxial components relative to one another.

A pellet stove includes: a furnace; a burner disposed in the furnace, a top of the burner being open; and a feed opening provided at a first sidewall of the burner. A through port for air intake and ash falling is provided at an underside of the burner. A grate supporting pellet fuel is provided above the through port. Auxiliary supports for sustaining bottom fire are disposed under the grate. The auxiliary supports are arranged higher than the through port, and the auxiliary supports are located at a side below the feed opening and cover an area not exceeding 1/2 of the area covered by the grate.

An electrically driven auger selectively feeds fuel pellets from a pellet hopper to a fire pot inside a cooking grill. An auger tube has a lower radius cooperatively shaped with a circumference of the auger with a pair of spaced apart sidewalls extending upwardly from the radius to define an opening above the auger that is at least as wide as a diameter of the auger.

Provided is a rotary combustion furnace. The furnace comprises: a combustion section, comprising a furnace body, wherein a heat supply port is provided at the top of the furnace body; and a baking section, comprising a baking chamber, wherein a heat collection through hole in butt joint with the heat supply port is provided at the bottom of the baking chamber, and the heat collection through hole and the heat supply port are configured to heat food in the baking chamber. The combustion furnace may be separated from the baking chamber by virtue of providing the combustion section and the baking section which are removably connected, thus decreasing the floor area and making it easy to carry and use in outdoor activities or camping. The heat supply port of the combustion section is in butt joint with the heat collection through hole.

A cooking appliance is disclosed including a burner assembly that effectively and efficiently combusts fuel and directs the resulting smoke from a burn pot of the burner assembly to a cook chamber of a cooking appliance. The burner assembly may include a series of openings and curved faces that provide airflow to push smoke from the burn pot to the cook chamber and provide more turbulence and better heat and smoke circulation in the smoker. The burn pot may define one or more vents and include a one or more curved or shrouded surfaces. The burner assembly may include one or more deflector plates configured to direct the flow of smoke from the burn pot to the cook chamber.

A system for combusting fuel comprising an apparatus that receives fuel that is characterized as comprising interstitial spacing and wherein oxidants pass through the interstitial spacing of the fuel to sustain a combustion reaction at the interface of a reaction chamber while the byproducts of combustion pass into the reaction chamber.

A furnace using biomass pellets as fuel, comprising a housing arranged on a base, wherein the housing is internally provided with a burning chamber, the bottom of which is provided with a burning grate, and the burning chamber is connected with a primary oxygen supply device; the primary oxygen supply device comprises an oxygen supply cylinder that communicates with the outside, and the bottom end of the oxygen supply cylinder is connected with an oxygen supply pipe II configured to blow air over the burning grate, and a plurality of air outlet holes I is defined in the oxygen supply cylinder.

A pellet stove to heat the interior of a structure and provide a heating surface for cooking. The pellet stove has a hopper storing pellet fuel, a core assembly inside a stove enclosure, a primary burn chamber assembly for burning pellet fuel and an air venting system. The hopper gravity feeds pellet fuel to the primary burn chamber assembly. The core assembly has a burn chamber housing connected to a flame chamber by a burn channel. The primary burn chamber assembly has a burn basket and a fuel control mechanism to control the amount of pellet fuel burned in the burn basket. The venting systems draws inlet air into and discharges exhaust air out of the pellet stove, which is sealed to prevent drawing inlet air from or discharging exhaust air to the structure interior. Fire in the flame chamber can be seen through an exterior glass panel.
