Abstract:

A reusable perforated steel cylinder device with detachable lid that may be filled with pecan nutshells or other natural food-grade organic substances that become volatized through a pyrolitic action induced by heated air to create a flavoring smoke plume within a gas grill chamber that adsorbs onto target food items is disclosed. This design improves generation of flavoring smoke in a grill chamber due to its universal distribution of perforations, and cylindrical shape which allows the ease of smoke passage from any orientation, eases handling with standard barbecue utensils for adjustment and placement, allows rapid pyrolization initiation for improved performance and convenience at standard grill cooking temperatures, and has enhanced oxygen regulation properties through the design selection of the percentage of open surface area (at least 40%) of the assembly and allows rapid soak and drain of contents without loss.
