A vent-free fireplace heat removal system and accessories for installation of components for same, and methods for removal utilizing same. The system includes components so that when in use, heat generated in the combustion space escapes into the room in which the fireplace is situated, and heat in the room within a determined distance from the fireplace enters a slot, collects in a collection duct, and passes through a heat exhaust aperture to be expelled from the room. In certain embodiments, a fan system enhances the ability of the vent-free fireplace to expel heat.

A fire pit has a gas burner and a repellent container. The gas burner provides energy that volatilizes repellent from the repellent container.

A gas burner assembly includes a gas burner. A grate with a plurality of fingers is positioned above the gas burner. The plurality of fingers includes a sensor finger. A temperature sensor is mounted to the sensor finger of the plurality of fingers of the grate at a first end portion of the sensor finger. The temperature sensor is thermally isolated from the grate.

Method for making stand alone cooking appliances with a load-bearing structure including uprights, crosspieces and beams, with at least one oven muffle, with a hob and with at least one front panel arranged to receive the control and command elements of said muffle and/or said hob and with removable covering side panels, each removable covering side panel is mounted on said supporting structure by inserting it from the back so that at least one of its snap engagement elements provided near its front edge engages in a clip provided in the corresponding front upright of said bearing structure and then the rear edge of said panel is constrained to the corresponding rear upright of the structure itself.

A log-like block for a gas burner is provided. The block having a pipe with a distal part at least partially made of flexible material and associated with at least one distal end of the pipe, and a pipe proximal part associated with a proximal end of the pipe. The block further includes a passage with shape and dimensions corresponding to those of the distal part. The distal part being built-in the passage so that the distal end is closed therein and the distal part is incapable of being moved relative to the passage. The proximal part being configured to be brought into gas communication with a gas supply source. The block further comprises a pipe outlet opening formed in the pipe distal part, exposed to an exterior of the block so as to allow gas to exit the pipe through the opening.

A food cooking stove, comprising a burner, a stovetop and a casing divided by a partition into a liquid transfer medium compartment and a combustion product compartment arranged under the stovetop and above the heat transfer medium compartment. The casing has provided in it a duct extending inside the heat transfer medium compartment through a partition between the compartments and the heat transfer medium compartment outer wall. The burner is coupled to a pipe arranged in the duct with a clearance to the duct walls and extending into the combustion product compartment. Combustion products are withdrawn from the compartment under the stovetop via a pipe extending inside the heat transfer medium compartment and tapped into the partition between the compartments and the wall of the heat transfer medium compartment.

A cooktop appliance includes a gas burner, a user input configured to define a power setting of the gas burner, and a grate. The grate includes a sensor finger with a temperature sensor mounted thereto. The temperature sensor includes a first temperature probe extending above a top surface of the sensor finger and a second temperature probe positioned within the sensor finger. The cooktop appliance also includes a controller in communication with the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is configured to transmit a first temperature measurement from the first temperature probe and a second temperature measurement from the second temperature probe to the controller. The controller is configured to determine a temperature of a cooking utensil positioned on the top surface of the sensor finger based on the power setting defined by the user input, the first temperature measurement, and the second temperature measurement.

A cooking apparatus comprises a body forming a cavity, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the cavity, a burner configured to heat the cavity by burning gaseous fuel, and a controller configured to identify a temperature variation of the cavity based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, and configured to stop an operation of the burner based on a change in the temperature variation of the cavity being less than a reference value.

An apparatus includes a high-pressure tank, a controller, a valve, controlled by the controller, and a heater.

A linear fireplace system, assemblies, modular units, and related methods that can be installed in a modular fashion at a selected installation location so as to avoid drawbacks experienced in the prior art. The system can include modular linear units, corner units, and/or end units interconnectable to form a modular linear fireplace assembly. The system can include an alignment track system with a track member that receives alignment rails on the bottom of the modular units to axially align the interconnected units. The system can include a combustion air flow passage within the fireplace that maintains a relatively low exterior temperature of the assembly and that allows combustible and non-combustible building materials to be installed against or immediately adjacent to the top and base portions of the modular units of the assembly.
