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. A discharge port at the end of the smoke barrel may be positioned over a water reservoir, and the auger may be selectively rotated to advance partially consumed combustible material out of the smoke barrel and into the water reservoir where it is quickly extinguished.
