Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Char-Broil Infrared Smoker Lets You Cook Faster and More Efficiently

— October 23, 2015 — Art & Design
Using the Char-Broil Infrared Smoker, you'll not only be able to give meats a smoky finish, but also grill and roast all in the same BBQ-style appliance. Powered by propane gas that powers the infrared system, the Char-Broil Infrared Smoker will cook faster or slower (depending on your needs) with consistent heat that will provide optimal results every time.

The Char-Broil Infrared Smoker features a drawer where you can place wood chips for that perfect smoky flavor when smoking meat. The functional design of the Char-Broil Infrared Smoker lets you either cook large amounts of food within or attach the grill to the top portion and use it like a traditional BBQ, which means this bad boy could technically replace multiple appliances in a single go.
Trend Themes
1. Multi-functional Appliances - The Char-Broil Infrared Smoker's ability to grill, roast, and smoke meat in one appliance highlights the trend of multi-functional appliances.
2. Efficient Cooking Technology - The infrared system of the Char-Broil Infrared Smoker that cooks faster and with consistent heat showcases the trend of efficient cooking technology.
3. Enhanced Flavor Experience - The Char-Broil Infrared Smoker's wood chip drawer for smoky flavor enhancement represents the trend of enhancing the flavor experience in cooking appliances.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliance - The multi-functionality and efficient cooking technology of the Char-Broil Infrared Smoker create opportunities for disruptive innovation in the home appliance industry.
2. Outdoor Cooking - The Char-Broil Infrared Smoker's ability to combine grilling, roasting, and smoking in one appliance opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the outdoor cooking industry.
3. BBQ Equipment - The Char-Broil Infrared Smoker's capability to replace multiple appliances in one device presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the BBQ equipment industry.
