Abstract: Embodiments are directed to smoking food in an outdoor grill using a customized smoking routine. In one scenario, an electronic controller of an outdoor grill receives an input to initiate smoke generation according to a specified smoke generation pattern, including: adding a specified amount of combustible pellets to a combustion area within the outdoor grill, such that the combustible pellets begin to burn, measuring a current internal temperature of the outdoor grill and, if below a threshold value, adding a specified amount of additional combustible pellets to the combustion area sufficient to raise the temperature to another threshold value, allowing the internal temperature to cool a temperature below the first threshold value and, upon determining that the temperature of the outdoor grill has cooled below the first specified threshold value, adding additional combustible pellets to the combustion area sufficient to raise the temperature to at least the second threshold value.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for assembling a device while maintaining the aesthetic appearance and structural integrity of a visible surface of the device. In one or more implementations of the invention, a system includes a first assembly piece with an assembly region that comprises an opening defined by first and second connecting elements. The system further includes a second assembly piece and a fastening assembly, where a portion of the second assembly piece is shaped to fit within the assembly region opening and the fastening assembly spans the first and second connecting elements to secure the first assembly piece to the second assembly piece, and tightening of the fastening assembly causes the second connecting element to deform, pressing a surface of the second assembly piece against an adjacent surface of the first connecting element and retaining a substantially even visible surface of the device.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to communicating with and controlling operation of electronically-controlled appliances. In one scenario, a computer system receives a first input from a computing system indicating that an electronically-controlled appliance is permitted to communicate with a cloud computing platform. The computer system generates a notification that is to be sent to a software application, where the software application is configured to control functions of the electronically-controlled appliance. The computer system transmits the generated notification to the software application, where the generated notification indicates that the cloud computing platform is communicably connected to the electronically-controlled appliance. The computer system then receives a second input from the software application indicating that specified functions are to be performed on the electronically-controlled appliance, and transmits instructions to the electronically-controlled appliance to perform the specified functions. These functions are then interpreted and carried out by a hardware controller on the electronically-controlled appliance.

Abstract: A smoke trap includes a receptacle with a floor opening, a tubular riser surrounding the opening and extending from the floor into a receptacle cavity, and a capping element disposed over an aperture in a riser. The capping element has an upper wall and a side wall partially bounding a body cavity and extending from the upper wall toward the floor. The capping element covers the aperture from above and from the side without fluidly sealing the aperture such that the aperture is in fluid communication with the body cavity and the body cavity is in fluid communication with the receptacle cavity. A portion of the side wall extends past the aperture such that the aperture is disposed within the body cavity. Grease management systems that include the smoke trap have means for transferring grease into the receptacle cavity to inhibit smoke from escaping the receptacle cavity through the opening.

Abstract: A grilling device includes an oven section and a warming cabinet in thermal communication with the oven section. The oven section is directly heated by a heating mechanism, but the warming cabinet is heated indirectly by heat transferred from the oven section. The warming cabinet is disposed below the oven section such that heat from the oven section is transferred passively via conduction and radiation into the warming cabinet and is transferred actively via forced air convection as an air moving element forces air past an optional heat sink and/or other heating component(s) and into the warming cabinet. The air moving element also provides air to ignite and maintain a burning fuel source of the heating mechanism. The grill can include a utility shelf disposed below the warming cabinet, the space between the utility shelf and the bottom of the warming cabinet defining a utility space.

Abstract translation: 烧烤装置包括烤箱部分和与烤箱部分热连通的加温柜。 烤箱部分通过加热机构直接加热，但通过从烤箱部分转移的热量间接加热暖气柜。 升温柜设置在烤箱部分下方，使得来自烘箱部分的热量被传导和辐射被动地传递到暖气柜中，并且通过强制空气对流被主动地传递，因为空气移动元件迫使空气通过任选的散热器和/或 其他加热组件并进入暖气柜。 空气移动元件还提供空气来点燃和保持加热机构的燃烧燃料源。 格栅可以包括设置在加温柜下方的实用架，在实用架和加温柜的底部之间的空间限定了一个公用空间。
