Abstract: Temperature control accessories for charcoal-fueled kettle grills are disclosed. An example accessory includes a support ring, a housing, and an airflow generator. The support ring includes an upper rim, a lower rim, and a sidewall. The upper rim is configured to interface with a lid of the kettle grill. The lower rim is configured to interface with a firebox of the kettle grill. The sidewall extends between the upper rim and the lower rim. The housing is coupled to the sidewall of the support ring, with the housing being located radially outward from the sidewall. The airflow generator is located within the housing and is configured to generate a flow of air that passes from the airflow generator, through an opening formed in the sidewall of the support ring, and into a cooking chamber of the kettle grill.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an instant-read thermometer. The instant-read thermometer comprises a needle and a body configured to house circuitry. The needle may include one or more sensors configured to detect a temperature of food, a cooking liquid, ambient temperature, and the like. The housing may include circuitry, including a printed circuit board comprising one or more processors, memory, and/or a haptic feedback mechanism. The housing may also store one or more batteries. The circuitry may be configured to provide feedback (e.g., haptic, tactile, audible, or visual) to a user based on the temperature detected by the one or more sensors.

Abstract: Temperature control accessories for charcoal-fueled kettle grills are disclosed. An example temperature control accessory includes a support ring, an interior duct, and a control unit. The support ring includes a sidewall. The interior duct is located internally relative to the sidewall. The control unit is located externally relative to the sidewall. The control unit includes an airflow generator configured to generate a flow of air. The flow of air is to pass from the airflow generator, through an opening formed in the sidewall of the support ring, and into the interior duct.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a wireless temperature probe comprising a hollow metal body, internal circuitry, and a handle. The circuitry comprises a first sensor configured to measure a first internal temperature of a food as the food cooks, one or more sensors configured to measure a second internal temperature of a food as the food cooks, a second sensor configured to measure an ambient temperature of a cooking chamber, a battery, a printed circuit board comprising at least one processor and memory, an antenna, and a connector configured to be communicatively coupled to an external charging terminal. The internal circuitry is configured to fit into the hollow internal portion of the metal body. The wireless temperature probe is configured to monitor an internal temperature of a food as the food cooks and periodically transmit the internal temperature of the food to a computing device.

Abstract: In variants, an automatically-identifiable temperature probe can include: a probe body, one or more sensors, a connector, and/or any other suitable components. In variants, the method for temperature determination can include: determining a set of electrical signals, determining a temperature probe type based on the set of electrical signals, determining a sensor resolution model based on the temperature probe type, and determining a set of final temperature estimates based on the set of electrical signals and the sensor resolution model.

Abstract: Aspects related to a cooking appliance with a temperature probe accessory are provided. A cooking appliance may include a cavity configured to receive a food to be cooked. A sensor, such as a temperature probe accessory, may be used to measure a temperature of the cavity. The cooking appliance may include an interface configured to receive cooking parameters. The cooking appliance may include a controller configured to identify cooking instructions based on cooking parameters. The appliance may perform actions in response to the cooking instructions.

Abstract: The system is preferably used with a cooking appliance with a heating cavity and can include: a vessel and a temperature probe. The system can optionally include: a lid, a tray, and/or a circulator. However, the system can include any other suitable components. The system functions to monitor and/or control the temperature of a volume of working fluid in a cooking appliance with a heated cavity.

Abstract: In variants, the system can include an extensible cooking system (e.g., grill) with a removable user interface configured to control cooking system operation and/or a set of removable accessory modules. Examples of removable accessory modules can include user fuel control interfaces and sensor ports.
