Patent number: 11819161Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Premier Specialty Brands LLCInventors: Adam Carter, Donald Stephen Gazdick, III, Joseph Pruitt, Daniel Mercer, Kyle Aasness

Publication number: 20230292956Abstract: A griddle adapted for use on a kamado-style grill is disclosed herein. The griddle may comprise a flat cooking surface suitable for cooking, for example, meats, vegetables, and breakfast foods. The griddle may comprise a grease chute that provides a receptacle within or adjacent to the flat cooking surface for removing grease during cooking. The grease chute directs the grease to one or more holes in the grease chute through which the grease can drain into the fuel chamber below the griddle. The griddle may comprise an outer lip that extends upwardly away from the flat cooking surface to prevent grease or food from falling over perimeter edges of the flat cooking surface. Additionally, the griddle may comprise one or more notches for coupling the griddle to a cooking grate and/or other structure, thereby helping to secure the griddle's position on the cooking grate of the kamado-style grill.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Donald Stephen Gazdick, III, Joseph Pruitt
