Abstract: An indoor smoker includes comprising a smoking chamber and a smoke generating assembly for providing a flow of smoke into the smoking chamber, the smoke generating assembly including a smoke barrel for receiving combustible material, an auger positioned within the smoke barrel for selectively urging the combustible material through the smoldering chamber, and a smoldering heater in thermal communication with the smoke barrel for smoldering the combustible material as the auger advances the combustible material past the smoldering heater. A method of operation includes determining a target smoldering duration, rotating the auger to advance a first load of the combustible material onto the smoldering heater, determining that the target smoldering duration has elapsed, and rotating the auger to advance the first load of the combustible material off of the smoldering heater and advance a second load of the combustible material onto the smoldering heater.

Abstract: An indoor smoker includes a smoking chamber, a smoke generating assembly for providing a flow of smoke into the smoking chamber, a chamber heater for regulating a chamber temperature in the smoking chamber, an air handler for urging the flow of smoke from the smoking chamber, through an exhaust duct, and out of a discharge vent, and a catalytic converter for reducing emissions within the flow of smoke. A method of operation includes turning off the smoke generating assembly, switching to a cooking process where the smoke generating assembly is off and the cooking temperature is at or above a temperature threshold (e.g., 170° F.), and operating the air handler and the catalytic converter after the smoke generating assembly has been turned off and in response to determining that the cooking process is still being performed in the smoking chamber.

Abstract: An indoor smoker includes a smoking chamber and a smoke generating assembly for providing a flow of smoke into the smoking chamber, the smoke generating assembly comprising a smoke barrel, an auger positioned within the smoke barrel and being rotatable for selectively urging combustible material through the smoke barrel, and a smoldering heater for smoldering the combustible material as the auger advances the combustible material past the smoldering heater. The method includes receiving a command to pause a smoke generating process, turning off the smoldering heater, rotating the auger to advance smoldering combustible material off of the smoldering heater and advance fresh combustible material onto the smoldering heater, pausing for a predetermined amount of time to permit the fresh combustible material to absorb residual heat from the smoldering heater, and rotating the auger to advance the fresh combustible material off of the smoldering heater.

Abstract: A smoke generating assembly includes a smoke barrel defining a smoldering chamber, an auger positioned within the smoke barrel and being rotatable to urge combustible material through the smoldering chamber, a smoldering heater positioned adjacent the smoke barrel for smoldering the combustible material as the auger advances the combustible material past the smoldering heater, a temperature sensor in thermal communication with the smoldering heater for measuring a smoldering temperature, and a controller configured to operate the smoldering heater to regulate the smoldering temperature to a target smoldering temperature.

Abstract: A smoke generating assembly for providing a flow of smoke into a smoking chamber of an indoor smoker includes a smoke barrel that extends between a first end and a second end along a central axis, the smoke barrel being configured for receiving combustible material, a smoldering heater positioned adjacent the smoke barrel for smoldering the combustible material, and an auger extending between a first end and a second end, the auger being positioned within the smoke barrel and being rotatable about the central axis for selectively urging the combustible material from the first end toward the second end of the smoke barrel, wherein an angular position of the auger is measured along a direction of rotation of the auger from a leading edge of the auger to a vertical direction, and wherein the auger is rotatable to a smoking angular position and a non-smoking angular position.

Abstract: An indoor smoker includes a smoking chamber positioned within a cabinet, a smoke generating assembly configured for selectively smoldering combustible material to create a flow of smoke, wherein the combustible material is discharged through a discharge port, and a water extinguishing assembly. The water extinguishing assembly a container docking station positioned below the discharge port, the container docking station comprising a first docking connector and a water container configured for receipt within the container docking station, the water container comprising a first container connector configured for electrically connecting to the first docking connector when the water container is in an installed position.

Abstract: An indoor smoker includes a cabinet; a smoking chamber positioned within the cabinet and defining a chamber inlet and a chamber outlet; a smoke generation system in fluid communication with the smoking chamber; an exhaust duct; an air handler provided within the exhaust duct, the air handler creating a negative pressure within the smoking chamber; a catalytic converter positioned within the exhaust duct upstream from the air handler; and a plurality of seals provided within the cabinet. The plurality of seals includes an inlet seal provided at the chamber inlet between the smoke generation system and the smoking chamber and an outlet seal provided at the chamber outlet between the exhaust duct and the smoking chamber.

Abstract: A smoke generating assembly for an indoor smoker includes a smoke barrel having a rotating auger positioned therein. The smoke barrel may be supplied with combustible material at a first end of the smoke barrel and the auger may be intermittently rotated to advance the combustible material toward a second end of the smoke barrel and over a smoldering heater to generate a flow of smoke. The smoldering heater may be spaced apart from the smoke barrel by an insulating spacer to regulate a temperature of the smoke barrel independent of the smoldering heater.

Abstract: Using a combinatorial algorithm comprised of quantitative EEG features and at least one pharmacogenomic variable, a significantly higher predictive accuracy and usability is achieved as compared to other current methods of clinical decision support for guided pharmacotherapy. The method produces a report with actionable findings for the treating physician, recommending for and/or against multiple drug classes and agents from among the available treatments for mental health disorders. While predictive accuracy for pharmacogenomic testing averages 73%, the presently disclosed combinatorial algorithms achieve a significantly higher rate of accuracy at 91%.
