Disclosed is an outdoor cooking appliance with ductwork that directs heat and smoke more evenly in the cook chamber of the appliance. For example, the ductwork can extend from the heat source of the appliance and direct the smoke to openings in rack holders that then dispel the smoke into the cook chamber more evenly. The burn pot assembly can also be segregated from the grease pan to avoid the potential for grease fires.

A drum smoking assembly is configured to utilize uniform, cyclonic circulation flow of air, heat and smoke for smoking and cooking food. The drum smoking assembly has a drum smoker that is approximately cylindrical and further comprises interior and exterior surfaces. Two side openings extend through the interior and exterior surfaces which are joined to air intakes tangentially connected to the exterior surface. A basket is arranged within the drum smoker above the first side opening and the second side opening. A twelve vane straightening perforate plate is arranged within the drum smoker above the basket. A lid is rotationally connected to the drum smoker and further comprising a chimney cap. A heat source in the basket pulls air through the first air intake and the second air intake that is then pushed through the twelve vane straightening perforate plate toward the chimney cap, creating a cyclonic air flow.

A dual purpose outdoor device that combines the benefits of a portable fire pit that allows the construction of an open fire of charcoal or wood on the ground or just above the ground, with a portable grill that allows for cooking food over a wood or charcoal fire. The device has upper and lower fire chambers, top and bottom lids, and an adjustable ancillary ring shaped grill and grill cover. Latches on the components and lids allow the device to be closed and transported and/or to be used for storage of utensils and grilling accessories.

Disclosed is an ash clean out mechanism including a burn pot removable from the remainder of the appliance to allow easier cleaning of the auger or other functional components within the appliance. The burn pot can include a handle that a user can pull to remove the burn pot from an adapter collar located within the interior of the appliance. The user can then clean the interior of the appliance and thereafter insert the burn pot into the appliance. For example, the user can push the burn pot by guiding a lower plate of the burn pot along a lip of the appliance and into a landing area where a body of the burn pot can rest on the adapter collar. The burn pot can also form a flow channel around the burn pot body to provide improved airflow during the cooking process.

Disclosed is an air circulation device for an outdoor cooking appliance such as a grill. The device helps circulate air more consistently and efficiently by providing slats that direct rising air in a cyclonic arrangement. By providing this cyclonic effect, the air circulation device can distribute heat and smoke more evenly to the food being cooked and improve smoke penetration, heat efficiency, and the evenness of cooking.

One or more implementations of the present disclosure relate to a reusable or disposable outdoor wood or charcoal-fired cooking device. In at least some implementations, embodiments of the present disclosure include one or more of a cooking vessel, a fuel cartridge of combustible fuel (e.g., wood, charcoal) that is positionable within the cooking device, and a control device that includes or controls the operation of a fan, which in turn precisely controls the combustion of the fuel and the conditions within the cooking vessel. The fan may be operative to push or pull air through the fuel cartridge. When the fan is turned off or at low speed, the combustion gases from the fuel cartridge may be vented directly to the ambient environment without passing through the cooking vessel. The cooking vessel and fuel cartridge may be made from materials that are disposable, and ideally recyclable and/or compostable.

The present disclosure provides a grill with a quick cleaning device, including a combustion furnace and a grill cover; wherein the combustion furnace is mounted in the grill cover, and the combustion furnace includes a first cleaning opening, a cleaning control member configured to control open and close of the cleaning opening being movably mounted at the first cleaning opening; and a second cleaning opening is disposed at a position, corresponding to the first cleaning opening, of the grill cover, a cleaning basin being slidably or detachably connected at the position, where the second cleaning opening is disposed, of the grill cover. This structure has the advantages of use convenience and improving use experience of such products.

A multi-purpose grill is described. The grill may include a housing comprising at least one sidewall defining a housing interior. The at least one sidewall may include a firebox door and a firebox opening leading to the housing interior. The grill may also include a pan that may be located in the housing interior, a cooking grate that may be located above the pan, and a removable lid that may be located above the cooking grate. The pan may sit on one or more removable rods.

A gravity fed smoker includes a smoking enclosure and an external stack. The stack is double walled with an inner wall, and an outer wall. A vented cooling space exists between the inner wall and the outer wall. An inner chamber of the external stack includes a fire box with a fire grate and a feed hopper positioned above the fire box. A smoke tunnel with a series of openings for releasing smoke into the smoking enclosure extends along the bottom of the food smoking enclosure and is connected to the external fire box at one end. Fuel, including charcoal, lump coal, or wood pellets, is loaded into the feed hopper. As the fuel burns on the fire grate and turns to ashes, the fuel is fed from the hopper onto the fire grate by gravity. A fan and dampers controls air flow through the fire grate and into the smoke tunnel.
