App-Controlled Smokers

The Digital Electric Smoker Allows For Perfectly Smoked Foods

— April 29, 2016 — Art & Design
Char-Broil's brand new Digital Electric Smoker is a contraption that is designed to make it easier than ever for you to harness the wonders of smartphone app-based control to enjoy perfect outcomes while smoking meat and other foods this BBQ season.

What's great about the Digital Electric Smoker is the fact that it allows you to use a companion smartphone app to enter in various parameters such as cooking temperature and time.

While smoked foods taste undoubtedly delicious, the process of smoking itself can be extremely time-consuming and intensive. This is where the Digital Electric Smoker comes in. By allowing you to use an app to keep tabs on the smoking process, you can go about enjoying your day rather than have to hover around the smoker all day long, whilst knowing that your food always turns out perfect.

2. Smart Home Appliances - Disruptive Innovation: Opportunities for integrating app-based control into a wide range of smart home appliances, including smokers, to enhance user convenience and customization.
3. Food and Beverage Industry - Disruptive Innovation: Opportunities for food and beverage companies to embrace app-controlled smoking technology to offer unique and consistent flavors in their smoked food products.
