A heat deflector is disclosed that includes a first portion having a first outer edge and a center and a first surface extending from the first outer edge to the center of the first portion. The first surface sloping downward from the first outer edge toward the center of the first portion. The heat deflector further includes a second portion having an inner edge and an outer edge. The inner edge of the second portion is adjacent to the first outer edge of the first portion. The heat deflector further includes a third portion having a third outer edge and a third inner edge and a second surface extending from the third outer edge of the third portion to the third inner edge of the third portion. The second surface sloping downward from the third outer edge of the third portion to the third inner edge of the third portion.

A portable temperature regulated rotisserie and barbequing apparatus including a substantially cylindrically-shaped housing comprised of stainless steel and further including a set of carrying handles. The hollow cylindrically shaped housing includes a latching mechanism to releasably secure the planar drip pan at the second end and a centrifugal fan including a plurality of concave blades which increase the volume and air speed to the blades. The spit is releasably attached to the centrifugal fan and rests on the shaft anchor.

Exemplary embodiments of a system and method for bimodal air control in a kettle-style grill are configured to be detachably mounted to the exterior of a kettle-styled grill such as, but not limited to, a Weber® charcoal grill. When mounted to the kettle-styled grill, a plenum-like component directs air flows to the interior of the grill's kettle via the kettle's lower body damper holes. A manually adjustable intake damper in the plenum component allows, restricts, or prevents a drawn ambient air flow into the plenum component. Separately, a forced air flow generated by a fan may also be provided into the plenum component. Adjustment of the intake damper may also adjust damper blades inside the grill's kettle. Ash that falls out of the kettle's damper holes falls through the plenum component and is captured in an ash receptacle that is removably mounted to the plenum component.

The Accelerated Slow Roasting Apparatus is a device for slow-and-low cooking a whole previously butterflied-prepared animal carcass comprising a closed cooking chamber with a plurality of adjustable air vents arranged on the bottom edge of the cooking chamber and a plurality of adjustable opening vents on a vertical side of the lid of the cooking chamber, and a slide out cooking grate with adjustable rails to support the grate while out of the cooking apparatus, a plurality of removable cooking fuel trays, wherein the cooking grate is positioned between twenty-five and forty centimeters above the cooking fuel trays to enable a flame-flare-up free, time-accelerated, slow-and-low cooking of the animal carcass in half, or less than half, of the traditional sixteen to twenty-two hours cooking time.

A heating device, preferably for the combustion of biomass, in particular of pellets of biomass, in one aspect, includes a burner part and a heating part. The burner part includes a combustion chamber; a double-walled, internally hollow combustion-chamber wall, which has an upper opening leading above the combustion zone into the combustion chamber; a flue-gas duct which leads the flue gas downwards along the combustion chamber, wherein the flue-gas duct is followed by a heat-exchanger area including initially, a flat-tube flue-gas heat exchanger, then, a tertiary-air heat exchanger; a flue-gas ventilation stack, a radiant-heat exchanger located above the combustion chamber, a flue-gas flap at the upper end of the flue-gas duct, which, when open, connects the flue-gas duct to the stack. A flat-tube flue-gas heat exchanger of the heating part forms a heat-exchanger circuit with an exhaust-air heat exchanger with the same heat-transfer medium as the flat-tube flue-gas heat exchanger.

A burner for burning fuels and modular heat utilizing appliances therefor. The burner includes a fuel holder, an outer wall surrounding the fuel holder and defining a combustion chamber, and optionally, a second wall surrounding the outer wall. Air is inducted from an inlet which may be an ash pan pivotally coupled to the outer wall at the bottom to open the combustion chamber. Supplementary combustion air is conducted to just above the fuel holder by the outer wall. Additional supplementary combustion air is conducted to just above the fuel holder by the second wall. The burner may include a pivotally mounted cooking grate and a pivotally mounted solid cover for closing the combustion chamber, and supporting legs. Modules individually yet replaceably attachable to the burner include a closed or open cooker, a smoker, a space heater, and a pyrolyzer.

A portable biomass stove includes a tubular seat unit and an insulation unit. The tubular seat unit includes an inner tubular seat and an outer tubular seat. The outer tubular seat surrounds the inner tubular seat, cooperates with the inner tubular seat to define an internal space therebetween, and is formed with an air inlet located under the tubular body. A top end portion of the outer tubular seat is connected to a top end portion of the tubular body in a sealing contact manner. The insulation unit is disposed in one of the internal space and an ambient space outside the outer tubular seat so as to prevent dissipation of heat out of the outer tubular seat.

A fire shield assembly includes a housing that may be mounted to a vertical support surface. A shield is movably coupled to the housing and the shield may be manipulated. The shield is selectively deployed from the housing. Thus, the shield may extend between a stove and the vertical support surface. The shield is comprised of a heat resistant material. Thus, the shield may inhibit the stove from heating the vertical support surface thereby reducing a fire hazard with respect to the stove.

A method for burning a fuel in a wood stove having a door to a combustion chamber with a base, which combustion chamber is isolated from the air by an exhaust and an intake at which intake there is provided an air regulator having at least primary, secondary and tertiary air intake ducts. The stove is controlled by a burn controller configured to operate between the different operating, i.e. different combustion states.

There is provided a solid fuel burning stove comprising a housing defining a combustion chamber and a door panel pivotally mounted to the housing. The door panel is configurable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The solid fuel burning stove is characterized by having a locking assembly comprising a lever pivotally mounted to the housing and having a hooked portion. The lever is pivotable between an engaged configuration and a disengaged configuration. The locking assembly also has a biasing member operatively connected to the housing and the lever and biasing the lever in the engaged configuration. The locking assembly further comprises a catch provided on the door panel. The hooked portion of the lever is engageable with the catch in the closed configuration of the door panel and the engaged configuration of the lever and is disengageable therefrom by configuring the lever in the disengaged configuration.
