A portable and convertible cooking device comprises a grilling and smoking cabinet, a tether, and a leg assembly, where the cabinet is convertible from a grill to a smoker and back to a grill. The cabinet is moveable from a fixed horizontal position on the leg assembly, for operating the cooking device as a grill, to a fixed vertical position on the leg assembly, for operating the cooking device as a smoker where the tether holds the cabinet in the smoking position. As such, the portable and convertible outdoor cooking device converts from a grill to a smoker quickly and easily. The leg assembly comprises a pair of U-shaped stands which are pivotally connected at respective hinges, such that the leg assembly is collapsible. The portable and convertible cooking device has a pair of wheels for easy transport of the cooking device while in the collapsed position.

A smoker configured to infuse smoke into flavor and/or taste of a beverage or food includes a body member having a through bore extending from a first end of the body member to an opposite second end of the body member in a first direction and an insert configured to be received in the through bore at the first end and retained by the through bore at a position between the first end and the second end. The through bore and the insert are configured to define a chamber for receiving a combustible material between the insert and the first end, the through bore is configured to permit a flow of smoke from the combustible material out the through bore at the second end of the body member, 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.

The disclosed embodiments provide a temperature controlled charcoal grill and smoker that enables users to better control the cooking and smoking temperature relative to previous solutions. In some embodiments, for example, a user may place a divider in the interior of a fuel basket to coarsely adjust the amount and type of solid fuel used to heat a food-cooking enclosure of the temperature controlled charcoal grill and smoker. In addition, the user can also position a heat deflector tent above one or more heat transfer openings in a grease tray to further adjust the cooking and smoking temperature. Further still, the user can provide even finer control (including closed-loop control) over the cooking and smoking temperature using a controller that controls the speed of a fan that directs combustion air into the fuel basket.

A cooking grill includes a multi-compartment solid fuel hopper, a burn pot, and a tapered auger blade disposed between the solid fuel hopper and the burn pot. The grill further includes a transparent window for viewing solid fuel in the auger system, a smoke tap connected to a cooking chamber of the grill, and a steam drawer.
