A toaster is fitted with a hopper for powdered oak granules, and a feed mechanism. As toasting is underway, an archimedes' screw raises the dust to allow it to sprinkle in fine streams onto the red hot element.

A sensor detects when the element has cooled, and passes a small brush back and forth a few times to clear any ash.

A control knob on the side adjusts smokiness, of course. Plus a selector for oak, apple, or walnut granules, each loaded into different hoppers.
