The present invention discloses an apparatus and method of barrel toasting. In particular, an apparatus and method for consistently toasting the inside surface of a barrel, generally a barrel made of oak. Barrel toasting has traditionally been carried out on a barrel by barrel basis, by the cooper, according to wine or spirit-makers' specifications. The cooper draws upon his/her experience in order to determine the length of time and intensity of heat the barrel should be subjected to, so that the barrel is subjected to a reasonably consistent light, medium, medium plus or heavy toast. The present invention attempts to provide an apparatus and method for repeatability and uniformity in barrel toasting by monitoring the temperatures of the barrel being toasted and comparing these against a predetermined optimum range.

La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de brûlage pour tonneau. En particulier, un appareil et un procédé pour brûler de manière uniforme la surface interne d'un tonneau, le plus souvent un tonneau fabriqué en chêne. Le brûlage de tonneaux a traditionnellement été réalisé sur une base unitaire, tonneau par tonneau, par le tonnelier, selon les spécifications du fabricant de vin ou de spiritueux. Le tonnelier utilise son expérience afin de déterminer la durée et l'intensité de chaleur auxquelles doit être soumis le tonneau, afin que le tonneau soit soumis à un brûlage raisonnablement uniforme léger, moyen, moyen plus ou lourd. La présente invention permet d'obtenir un appareil et un procédé pour pouvoir effectuer le brûlage de tonneaux de manière répétée et uniforme en surveillant les températures du tonneau en cours du brûlage et en comparant celles-ci avec un intervalle optimum prédéterminé.
