A device for grilling food is disclosed. The device comprises a wood plank having a top surface for receiving the food and a bottom surface for placing on a heat source; and a plurality of through holes defined on the wood plank, each through hole penetrating the top surface and bottom surface. The plurality of through holes enable smoke generated by the heat source or the wood plank to directly smoke a bottom side of the food.

A heat source device is provided for supplying indirect heat to a cooking grill such as a charcoal grill. The heat source device includes a heat chamber body to contain a heat source remotely spaced from the grill, an access door to access the heat source, and a mounting adapter to couple the heat source device to the grill. The heat source device may be configured to couple to an existing charcoal grill, as in a retrofit arrangement in which the mounting adapter couples to an ash catcher mount of the grill. The heat source device allows a user to feed or maintain a fuel source in the heat chamber to regulate the temperature in the grill without the need to open the grill, remove the food, or remove or open the cooking surface. If the heat source is maintained, the grill may operate indefinitely.

A recirculation grill that includes a cooktop supported by a stationary frame. The grill includes an intake aperture defining a plurality of slats configured for receiving smoke from the cooktop; a waste tray compartment connected to the trough for receiving waste and grease and having a drawer for removing and cleaning; an interior plenum configured to create a vacuum force to pull air and smoke from the cooktop into the intake aperture; a diffuser positioned over the trash compartment and extending downwardly and outwardly; a tunnel configured to receive air flow from the plenum; and a blower housing enclosing a blower fan configured for pulling air and smoke from the cooktop into the intake aperture and through the plenum. The intake aperture, the plenum, and the blower are configured to achieve 100% visible smoke capture.

A recirculation grill that includes a cooktop and an intake aperture defining a plurality of slats configured for receiving smoke from the cooktop; an interior plenum configured to create a vacuum force to pull air and smoke from the cooktop into the intake aperture; a diffuser positioned within the plenum and extending downwardly and outwardly; a tunnel configured to receive air flow from the plenum and having at least a filter; a blower housing enclosing a variable speed blower fan configured for pulling air and smoke from the cooktop into the intake aperture and through the plenum and into the tunnel; and a variable fan drive (VFD) for controlling the variable speed blower fan and improving the life of the filter. The intake aperture, the plenum, and the blower are configured to achieve 100% visible smoke capture.

A method for converting a charcoal grill into a heat smoker is disclosed. The method comprises inserting a fin at least partially through the grilling surface of the grill such that the fin separates the charcoal grill into a first section and a second section, the fin positioned within the charcoal grill such that charcoal placed within the first section of the charcoal grill is prevented from entering the second section of the charcoal grill, the separation fin including at least one opening configured to allow smoke to pass therethrough, and igniting the charcoal such that air entering the grill through the air vent pulls heat and smoke emanating from the ignited charcoal around the fin and through at least one opening in the fin to smoke food on the grilling surface.

Disclosed is a smoker device for imparting smoked flavors to beverages and foodstuffs can include a base having at least a wall defining a first end and a floor with an opening defining a second end, a cover capable of being positioned over the base first end, thereby defining an enclosed cavity, and a conduit portion defining an open channel at a first end and closed at a second end, the first end connecting to a perimeter of the base floor opening, creating a passageway from the enclosed cavity to the channel. Also disclosed is a method for using the smoker device to impart smoked flavors to beverages and foodstuffs.
