Abstract

Combustion appliances for providing heat for cooking meats and other foods are provided. The appliances are self-stoking, in that they do not need to be repeatedly re-filled with more fuel periodically, such as during an 18-hour slow cook procedure. A venturi assembly is provided which consists of a venturi duct and baffle, which creates a higher flow, lower pressure region within the venturi assembly, which gases mix with spent combustion gases to provide a more uniform temperature output.
