A modular smoker includes a base portion having a through bore extending from a first end of the base portion to a second end of the base portion, wherein the through bore is configured to define a shelf between the first end and the second end, a top portion configured to be removably coupled with the base portion, wherein the top portion has a through bore extending from a first end of the top portion to an opposite second end of the top portion in a first direction, and a screen configured to be held on the shelf of the through bore between the first end and the second end of the base portion. The through bore of the base portion is configured to define a chamber for receiving a combustible material on the screen between the first end and the second end of the base portion, the through bore of the base portion is configured to permit a flow of smoke from the combustible material out the through bore of the base portion at the second end of the base portion, and the second end of the body member is configured to rest on a rim of a container to block the flow of air from the container where a surface of the second end of the body member contacts the rim.

A smoking apparatus includes a primary oven, a second oven and a rack. The primary oven includes a lateral wall formed with a recess and a vent located within the recess. The secondary oven includes a lateral wall formed with a bulge insertable in the recess, a vent located within the bulge, and a claw for hooking an upper edge of the lateral wall of the primary oven. The rack supports the primary oven.

A hookah infuser device providing two pineapple or capsule-shaped vessels spaced apart by a rotatable chamber with a passageway that fluidly couples the two capsule-shaped vessels in a first direction. A conduit may fluidly connect an external elemental holder to the chamber in a second direction, transverse to the first direction, wherein the conduit intersects the passageway at an intersection point or nexus. The chamber may be selectively rotated so that the two pineapple or various shaped fruit or capsule-shaped vessels experience a centrifugal force that urges a fluid within one or both vessels flee from the center of the respective vessel into the passageway and to the nexus point, thereby infusing an essence, such as vapors, of an element disposed in the external elemental holder.

An outdoor cooking station configured to simultaneously and independently cook food with separate cooking modes. The cooking station includes a main body defining separate first and second cooking portions fueled by separate fuel sources for cooking food in the separate modes. The first cooking portion includes gas-fueled first heating elements configured to heat a first cooking surface associated with the first cooking portion of the main body. The second cooking portion of the main body extends to define a chamber, the chamber being accessible with a door or hood pivotably coupled to the main body. The chamber includes an upper region and a lower region separated by an inner panel, the upper region including a second cooking surface suspended within the upper region. The lower region includes a second heating element sized and configured to electrically heat pellet elements to supply heat and smoke to the upper region.

A smoke generation pod for use in a smoke generation system includes an enclosure that has there within a material such as wood that is heated or ignited by an igniter or arc housed within the smoke generation pod. The smoke generation pod has an input vent for accepting air and an output vent for distributing smoke. The smoke is routed to an object such as a glass (with or without a liquid there within) for infusing the smoke into the liquid or onto the object. In some embodiments, the output vent has a filter and, some such filters also remove some or all carcinogens from the smoke that is emitted.

A system and method for processing a coextruded meat product including a casing enclosing a meat batter after brining in which a heated, high velocity air stream is applied to the coextruded meat product thereby mechanically removing moisture from a surface of the casing and cooking the coextruded meat product. This system and method can further improve the ability for a liquid coating to be added to the coextruded meat product in a non-drenching manner because of the superior surface preparation of the casing by the jets.
