A portable modular oven provides a collapsible, portable and affordable cooking device that uses wood or charcoal as a heat source. Various components of the oven are preferably constructed of 22-gauge steel, with the exception of a rectangular ceramic cooking surface. The oven can be easily disassembled and its components can be stored inside its base portion to maximize portability. The oven is designed to be a proper pizza oven that can quickly reach temperatures well above 600° F. The height of the cooking surface may be adjusted, as well as the temperature, to accommodate oven baking of a multitude of food items. The oven is designed to be used at home, camping, or tailgating.

A cooking plate is mountable to and removable from a fire pit. The cooking plate includes support tabs that position the cooking plate above the upper rim of the fire pit to provide even heating to the cooking plate while securing it in place with respect to the fire pit. The cooking plate can be placed on the fire pit after the fire has been started and removed while the fire is burning. The cooking plate has support tabs that each has an angled surface to allow the cooking plate to be leveled with respect to the fire pit. The cooking plate is ring-shaped and provides a central opening for the flame of the fire pit. The cooking plate defines an indentation that accommodates an accessory post of the fire pit.

A mechanism for raising and lowering a cooking surface within a recessed combustion chamber is provided.

A table (1) comprises a table top (4), a heating appliance (3), and a heating appliance holder (2) holding the heating appliance (3). The heating appliance holder (2) comprises a holder main body (7) and a table top holder (8) for holding the table top (4), the table top holder (8) being spaced apart from the holder main body (7) by at least one gap (20).

An outdoor cooker and a kit of parts for assembling an outdoor cooker are disclosed. The outdoor cooker includes a fire pit, a vertical support mechanism for coupling to the fire pit, a cooking grill for coupling to the vertical support mechanism above the fire pit, and a mechanism for coupling to the vertical support mechanism that is operative to selectively move and secure the cooking grill to a desired position along the vertical support mechanism.

A non-bypassable catalyst assisted appliance includes, for example, a housing having a combustion chamber, a loading door, an air inlet opening, and an exit opening connectable to a flue. A platform defines a non-movable separation in the housing between the combustion chamber and the exit opening. An insulated catalyst combustor is disposed between a top wall of the housing and the platform. When the door of the appliance is closed, gas from the combustion chamber is exhausted and directed along a single flow path horizontally through the insulated catalytic combustor and into the flue. When the door of the appliance is open, gas from the combustion chamber is inhibited from passing through the loading door opening, and ambient air entering the loading door opening and combustion gas from the combustion chamber are exhausted and directed along a single flow path horizontally through the insulated catalytic combustor and into the flue.
