Removable burn pot
The presently disclosed embodiments include a burner assembly for a cooking appliance that features a pullout including a removable burn pot. The pullout allows a user to easily remove the burn pot to empty burned ash and clean any residual materials from the burn pot. The pullout features a keyway design to aid in retention and easy removal from a cooking appliance. The pullout couples to a fuel chamber that houses an auger for supplying a fuel source and an ignitor. The pullout includes a gasket that provides a sealing engagement between the pullout and the cooking appliance.
HOPPER CLEANOUT AND PELLET HANDLING MECHANISM
A system having a hopper that receives fuel pellets and direct the pellets under gravity feed to an auger that moves the pellets into a firepot inside a cooking chamber of a grill. The system includes a door below the auger that has a closed position that retains fuel pellets in the auger such that the fuel pellets feed to the auger, and has an opened position to allows the pellets to empty from the hopper and away from the auger. A closing mechanism allows a user to selectively open or close the door.
Air circulation system and method
A cooking appliance is disclosed including a burner assembly that effectively and efficiently combusts fuel and directs the resulting smoke from a burn pot of the burner assembly to a cook chamber of a cooking appliance. The burner assembly may include a series of openings and curved faces that provide airflow to push smoke from the burn pot to the cook chamber and provide more turbulence and better heat and smoke circulation in the smoker. The burn pot may define one or more vents and include a one or more curved or shrouded surfaces. The burner assembly may include one or more deflector plates configured to direct the flow of smoke from the burn pot to the cook chamber.
Optimized Biomass Combustion (Burning) for Renewing Ecosystem, Environment, and Atmosphere
This invention “Optimized Biomass Combustion (Burning) for Renewing Ecosystem, Environment, and Atmosphere” is a process in which pure cow ghee is burned using sticks of specific trees along with other biomass such as dried cow dung cakes, grains, metal dust, herbs, etc., in a specially designed open brazier (combustion chamber). The amount of ghee, biomass, dimensions of the combustor, and length of time depends on the purposes that are given below. Reduce indoor air pollution and outdoor (ambient) air pollution caused by vehicles, and industries. Reduce rainwater and waterbodies pollution, curtail agriculture soil pollution. Mitigate intensities of hurricanes, storms, and tornadoes. Recovery from droughts, suppression of forest wildfires, mitigate virus/bacteria count, increase immunity, and reduce mosquitoes (and mosquito eggs) in the proximity.
