A stand is provided for elevating a portable stove above a surface. The stand includes a plurality of legs. Each leg includes an outer link connected by a hinge. The outer link is thus movable to a position extending radially outward. Each leg also includes a foot coupled to the outer link.

Pellet grills and associated methods of operation are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes a lid, a cooking chamber, an engine, and one or more processors. The lid is movable between a closed position and an open position. The engine is configured to output heat to the cooking chamber. The one or more processors are configured to detect a closing movement of the lid. In response to detecting the closing movement, the one or more processors are configured to command the engine to operate in an increased output mode that increases the heat output of the engine.

The disclosure includes a portable fire pit comprising a housing, a first pair of wheels operatively coupled to a front portion of the housing, a second pair of wheels operatively coupled to a rear portion of the housing, and a fire pit coupled to a top portion of the housing, wherein the fire pit comprises at least one solid vertical wall. In some embodiments, the portable fire pit also includes a cover that converts to a table, as well as a suspension grate to hold firewood and a grill rack to hold food above the fire pit. The grill rack may be configured to be located at different heights above the fire pit, and may also be configured to rotate between positions directly over and to the side of the fire pit.

A fireplace assembly having a firebox, an igniter assembly coupled to the firebox and containing a heating element, a first portion of the igniter assembly extending through an aperture in a firebox wall, the igniter assembly having a first connector coupled to the heating element and coupleable to power source, and having a second connector coupleable to an air source and positioned to provide air flow through the igniter assembly over the heating element and into the firebox. A controller is operatively coupled to the igniter assembly and a temperature sensor. The controller controls operation of the heating element, the temperature sensor, and the air flow through the igniter assembly, and can activate and deactivate the igniter assembly based upon the temperature within the firebox.

A solid fuel burning device has at least one burn chamber wall, a burn chamber base, and an interior burn chamber. The burn chamber base is capable of supporting a combustible solid fuel thereon. At least one of the burn chamber walls is radially offset with respect to another of the burn chamber walls. At least two longitudinally extending air inlets are formed in the space between a first longitudinal edge of at least one of the burn chamber walls and a second longitudinal edge of another burn chamber wall. Each of the longitudinally extending air inlets tangentially directs an entry of air into the interior burn chamber to induce an interior swirl of air in the interior burn chamber. The interior swirl of air in the interior burn chamber causes a flame of a combusting solid fuel to swirl in the interior burn chamber.

An ash remover for removing ashes from a wood burning stove or fireplace includes a housing with top and bottom walls, spaced-apart side walls, a rear wall, and a front door. A fixed gripping handle projects outwardly from the rear wall of the housing. A pivotable gripping handle is mounted to the side walls of the housing of the ash remover. The ash remover may be used in combination with a sifting tool to separate burning embers from ashes prior to removing the ashes from the wood burning stove or fireplace.

A fire poker tool that may be utilized to lift and move a log. The fire poker tool of the invention includes talons and a hook that cooperate together to engage a log in a manner that minimizes required torque and gripping forces to lift a log. The tool is particularly useful as a campfire, fire place, or fire pit tool.

The disclosure includes a portable fire pit comprising a housing, a first pair of wheels operatively coupled to a front portion of the housing, a second pair of wheels operatively coupled to a rear portion of the housing, and a fire pit coupled to a top portion of the housing, wherein the fire pit comprises at least one solid vertical wall. In some embodiments, the portable fire pit also includes a cover that converts to a table, as well as a suspension grate to hold firewood and a grill rack to hold food above the fire pit. The grill rack may be configured to be located at different heights above the fire pit, and may also be configured to rotate between positions directly over and to the side of the fire pit.

The present invention was founded on the basic object of providing an apparatus for safely and efficiently sifting dust and ash and other relative small particles from larger particles, such as incompletely burned coals. A further object of the invention is to provide a sieve that enables a sifting of particulate matter from incompletely burned coals while inside a combustion chamber of a fireplace, stove, or the like. In an exemplary embodiment the invention includes a sieve with sides and bottom having a plurality of apertures dimensioned so that the sieve sides and bottom fit entirely within the confines of the object to be cleaned, and a handle fixed to the sieve such that the handle does not extend far, such as 1/2 or less, above the top of the sieve.

The present invention relates to a device and method for easily attaching and removing a utensil made of wire or similar material to a handle that can vary in diameter and length. The invention affords a utensil that generally requires a long handle, the ability to be easily attached and removed from the handle so that it is easy to store, carry, and clean. This invention also allows a utensil to attach to a handle of various diameters and lengths to fit the specific needs of the user and the handle materials available. The device can be easily removed and reused on different sized handles.
