A smoker for cooking a food product that has a smoke dissipater mounted inside the cabinet for dissipating smoke using a high capacity ion generator for negatively charging smoke molecules so that the negatively charged molecules agglomerate with positively charged smoke molecules resulting in heavier molecules that precipitate out of the air within the cabinet. The smoker further may include charged plates within the cabinet that attract the charged smoke molecules to further accelerate dissipation of the smoke within the cabinet. The smoker also includes an air exchanger including a low capacity ion generator, and a cabinet exhaust for continuously refreshing the smoke within the cabinet.
