A cooking apparatus has a user interface for selecting a cooking preference, a measurement sensor for measuring a distance between a pair of plates when a food item lies between the pair of plates, a weight sensor for measuring weight of the food item, and a control system for receiving at least one signal from the measurement and weight sensors to determine a cooking profile for cooking the food item to the cooking preference and to calculate a total amount of energy required to cook the food item according to the cooking profile and an amount of energy to be transferred per unit time to the food item, and to control power supply to the heating element based on the calculated amount of energy transferred per unit time to the food item.

An axially collapsible cooking vessel comprises a flexible body having plural circumferentially extending reduced thickness areas spacedly arrayed between an upper peripheral edge and a bottom edge that provide for nested folding of the flexible body axially inwardly and downwardly upon itself; a heat conductive base that is interconnected with a bottom peripheral edge of the flexible body in a fluid tight engagement therewith; a heatsink structurally interconnected to a bottom surface of the heat conductive base, the heatsink having an annular shaped radiator and a circumferentially extending shield extending about the annular shaped radiator; and a removable lid releasable engageable with a top opening defined by the flexible body.

An apparatus includes a heat exchange member at least partially defining a passageway, and structure defining a first plurality of holes and a second plurality of holes. The first and second pluralities of holes provide fluid communication from the passageway to the exterior of the apparatus, i.e., to the atmosphere. A blower is operatively connected to the heat exchange member and configured to blow air into the passageway. The apparatus is configured such that, when the heat exchange member is sufficiently positioned with respect to a campfire, air exiting the first plurality of holes is directed downward and away from the campfire and air exiting the second plurality of holes has an upward velocity component.

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 collapsible grill. The collapsible grill includes a base. The base is defined by several walls. An interior cavity is formed by the walls. A rod is affixed to an external surface of the base and extends upward from the base. A platform is mounted onto the rod. The platform can be adjusted vertically on the rod, so that a user can set a desired distance between the platform and the base.
