CHICAGO - AstroBug -- Patented Multi-Function Food Smoker Now Available for Licensing

US Patent No. 11559060 B1 Introduces Advanced Suspension & Rotisserie System for Outdoor Cooking

Bloomington, IL — Axis International announces a compelling new licensing opportunity for an innovative outdoor cooking product protected under U.S. Patent No. 11,559,060 B1, now available for strategic licensing with qualified manufacturers and brand partners.

The patented Food Smoker design reimagines traditional smoking technology by combining enhanced heat and airflow management with a versatile interior suspension system that supports vertical food hanging, removable grate placement, and optional rotisserie integration.

This advanced smoker differentiates itself from conventional designs by incorporating:

• Vertical Food Suspension System: Aligned apertures and cylindrical hanger rods with integrated hook systems allow meats to hang suspended within the cooking chamber, enabling improved smoke exposure and even flavor infusion.
• Grate & Rotisserie Flexibility: Interior grates can be added or removed independently, and an optional rotisserie rod can be installed through the aligned apertures and driven by an externally mounted motor for controlled rotational cooking.
• Optimized Thermal Performance: A domed firebox, integrated ventilation, and exterior base design enhance airflow, reduce surface heat exposure, and improve temperature consistency throughout the smoker chamber.
• User-Focused Design: A hinged domed lid with strategically placed vents keeps handles cool and helps maintain stable internal temperature, while a stable wide base and side handles ensure safe transport and operation.

These features combine to create a highly flexible product that appeals to both serious outdoor cooking enthusiasts and mainstream backyard consumers — ideal for differentiation in today's competitive outdoor living and BBQ category.
