This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,110.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

An improved express barbeque system featuring an offset heat distributor that provides a splatter-free and smoke-free cooking configuration, ensuring faster, safer, and more efficient cooking.

Background and Problem Solved

The original express barbeque patent (title: 'Express barbeque with offset heat distributor and method of using same') has limitations in terms of heat distribution, resulting in uneven cooking, splatters, and smoke. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing a novel heat distributor design with perforated pipes and heat diverters, providing a more efficient and safer cooking experience.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The enhanced express barbeque system comprises a housing defining a cooking chamber, a drawer slidably positionable in the housing, and a heat distributor positioned along the housing. The heat distributor features perforated pipes and heat diverters that direct heat exiting the perforations through the housing, providing a splatter-free and smoke-free cooking configuration. The system can be configured to circulate heat through the housing and around the food for even distribution and/or faster cooking. The heat distributor can also be designed to provide a top and bottom heat system, ensuring uniform cooking.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a novel heat distributor design with perforated pipes and heat diverters, which provides a splatter-free and smoke-free cooking configuration. This design is non-obvious compared to the original patent, as it addresses the limitations of uneven heat distribution, splatters, and smoke.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include varying the design of the perforated pipes and heat diverters, using different materials for the heat distributor, or integrating the heat distributor with other cooking technologies. Additionally, the system could be scaled up or down for commercial or residential use.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The enhanced express barbeque system has significant commercial potential in the outdoor cooking industry, particularly in the residential and commercial BBQ markets. The system's ability to provide faster, safer, and more efficient cooking makes it an attractive solution for consumers and professionals alike.
