A process that includes receiving, by a first trimmer via a conveyor system, a foodstuff and automatically trimming, by the first trimmer and based on first trimming instructions, the foodstuff that results in first trimmings and a trimmed foodstuff. An injector receives the trimmed foodstuff and injects, based on injection instructions, a liquid solution into the trimmed foodstuff to generate an injected foodstuff. A cooker receives the injected foodstuff and cooks, based on cooking instructions, the injected foodstuff that results in a cooked foodstuff. A chiller receives the cooked foodstuff and chills the cooked foodstuff that results in a chilled foodstuff. A second trimmer receives the chilled foodstuff and automatically trims, based on second trimming instructions, the foodstuff that results in second trimmings and a trimmed chilled foodstuff. The second trimmer advances, via the conveyor system, the trimmed chilled foodstuff out of the second trimmer.

The present invention is directed to a smoker device for smoking and cooking food that has improved smoke circulation in the smoking chamber, less smoke loss from the areas outside of the exhaust pipe. The present invention also comprises an improved offset smoker device.

Disclosed is an oven integrated with functions of frying, roasting and smoking, comprising: a lower oven body and an upper oven body; the lower oven body comprises a lower oven base, a roasting cavity is formed on a side wall of the lower oven base, a load grid is arranged in the roasting cavity, a smoking box and a water basin are arranged in the roasting cavity, a first heating component is provided on the lower oven base, the first heating component is configured for heating the smoking box to produce smoke and for heating the water basin, and a cover plate for closing the roasting cavity is hinged with the lower oven base; the upper oven body comprises an upper oven base arranged on the lower oven base, a frying pan is provided on the upper oven base, a grill is detachably arranged on the frying pan.

An outdoor cooking station configured to simultaneously and independently cook food with separate cooking modes. The cooking station includes a main body extending to define a smoker chamber and a separate air fryer chamber. The smoker chamber is heated with smoke from igniting and burning pellets and the air fryer chamber is heated with an electrical heating element and a fan for mixing the air therein. In one embodiment, the cooking station includes a motor fan that draws smoke from the smoker chamber to the air fryer chamber with ducting therebetween. With this arrangement, the cooking station provides different cooking chambers dedicated for cooking food independent of each other as well as a secondary chamber or the air fryer chamber being employed for cold smoking food items or the option to provide smoke to the air fryer chamber while air frying the food therein.

The disclosed embodiments provide a kamado-style grill and smoker having one or more air-intake openings and one or more exhaust openings. Like conventional kamado-style grills and smokers, a user may manually adjust the air-intake opening(s) and/or exhaust opening(s) to manually control the air flow, and thus the temperature, within the cooking chamber. However, unlike the prior art, the kamado-style grill and smoker includes an integrated fan unit that provides a completely different and alternative air-intake pathway for drawing air into the cooking chamber and controlling the cooking or smoking temperature using a fan. By providing this alternative mechanism for controlling the temperature in the cooking chamber, the kamado-style grill and smoker disclosed herein can be operated using either manual or automated temperature control, making it accessible to both novice and experienced users alike.
