  • Apparatus, system, and method for cooking food
    Patent number: 11045048
    Abstract: A system for cooking food, can include a control circuit that operates a fuel feeder, for instance to vary a rate of fuel discharged from the fuel feeder. The control circuit can operate a fan, for instance to vary the speed of the fan. The control circuit can receive one or more signals from the fan that correspond to an amount of fuel discharged from the fuel feeder. The control circuit can receive one or more signals from the fuel feeder that correspond to an amount of air displaced by the fan. The system can monitor a temperature of a cooking area and can adjust the amount of fuel discharged from a fuel feeder, for instance to vary the temperature in the cooking area. The system can adjust the speed of the fan to establish a desired air-to-fuel ratio for combustion in a combustion chamber.
