Claim Text:
1. A system for controlling a cooking temperature of a solid-fueled cooker, comprising: a. an actuated vent valve configured so as to provide for operatively coupling to a vent of the solid-fueled cooker externally thereof, wherein said vent of said solid-fueled cooker is in series with both a flow of air into a combustion region of said solid-fueled cooker and a flow of resulting combustion gases out of said solid-fueled cooker, said actuated vent valve comprising: b. a first controller, wherein said first controller is adapted to receive a first sensed-temperature signal from a first temperature sensor, said first sensed-temperature signal providing a measure of a first temperature within a cooking region of said solid-fueled cooker, said first controller is adapted to receive a user-defined temperature level from a user of said solid-fueled cooker, and said first controller is operatively coupled to said servo-motor of said valve actuator so as to provide for electronically controlling a rotational position of said first valve plate, so as to provide for automatically controlling said actuated vent valve so as to substantially regulate said first temperature within said cooking region of said solid-fueled cooker to said user-defined temperature level responsive to said first sensed-temperature signal.
