Abstract
A cooking and smoking apparatus for food products comprising two distinct chambers with common outer walls, and interior walls, spaced from the outer walls, containing a plurality of openings. The spaces between the walls form ducts or air passages which allow smoke and heat to rise from a lower combustion chamber and enter an upper cooking chamber through said openings in the interior walls. Adjustable dampers in the ducts control the amount of smoke and heat entering the cooking chamber, while additional dampers control the air entering the combustion chamber and combustion products being vented from the apparatus through a chimney. One or more access doors is provided in each of the combustion and cooking chambers. The cooking chamber is provided with a flush pan or the like at the bottom thereof connected to a drain pipe to permit flushing of the cooking chamber.
