Meat rotisserie and associated method

摘要

A meat cooker effectively cooks meat by using heated convection air to cook inside meat sections and filings, and radiant heat to cook outside meat sections. The meat cooker may include a frame having a cooking zone therein, a heat exchange assembly located within the frame, first and second fans located adjacent to the cooking zone, and a spit disposed at the cooking zone and spaced downstream of the heat exchange assembly. The first fan generates and transmits a first quantity of ambient air along a first travel path inside the heat exchange assembly. The second fan generates and transmits a second quantity of ambient air along a second travel path outside the heat exchange assembly. Notably, the first and second quantities of ambient air are heated to corresponding first and second temperatures upon passing beyond the heat exchange assembly and reaching the spit.

1. A meat cooker for effectively cooking meat by using heated convection air to cook inside meat sections and filings, and radiant heat cook outside meat sections, said meat cooker comprising:
a frame having a cooking zone therein; a heat exchange assembly located proximate to said cooking zone; first and second fans located adjacent to said cooking zone; and a spit disposed at said cooking zone and spaced downstream of said heat exchange assembly; wherein said first fan generates and transmits a first quantity of ambient air along a first travel path inside said heat exchange assembly; wherein said second fan generates and transmits a second quantity of ambient air along a second travel path outside said heat exchange assembly; wherein said first and second quantities of ambient air are heated to corresponding first and second temperatures upon passing beyond said heat exchange assembly and reaching said spit; wherein said heat exchange assembly includes a plurality of tubes; wherein said spit includes an outer surface having a plurality of perforations spaced along a longitudinal length thereof; wherein said first travel path passes through an interior of said tubes and said spit, and thereafter exits from said perforations of said spit; wherein said second travel path traverses an exterior of said tubes and said spit.
