Exemplary embodiments of a system and method for bimodal air control in a kettle-style grill are configured to be detachably mounted to the exterior of a kettle-styled grill such as, but not limited to, a Weber® charcoal grill. When mounted to the kettle-styled grill, a plenum-like component directs air flows to the interior of the grill's kettle via the kettle's lower body damper holes. A manually adjustable intake damper in the plenum component allows, restricts, or prevents a drawn ambient air flow into the plenum component. Separately, a forced air flow generated by a fan may also be provided into the plenum component. Adjustment of the intake damper may also adjust damper blades inside the grill's kettle. Ash that falls out of the kettle's damper holes falls through the plenum component and is captured in an ash receptacle that is removably mounted to the plenum component.

A furnace for combusting wood comprises a firebox floor in a primary burn chamber of the furnace, where the wood is received for generating a gas therefrom, that is defined by a thermally conductive body of refractory material. The body of refractory material defines an upper support surface arranged to support the wood above or over the same. The body of refractory material also defines, beneath the upper support surface, a duct as part of a secondary burn chamber of the furnace which is arranged (i) to be communicated with the primary burn chamber of the furnace to receive the gas generated by heating of the wood therein and carrying combustible products, and (ii) to convey the gas in a manner supporting combustion of the combustible products carried thereby.

A grill cleaning tool assembly for effectively cleaning rounded grills and smokers includes a curved ash scoop apparatus and a curved ash scraper apparatus. The curved ash scoop apparatus comprises a scoop back having an arcuate scoop back bottom edge conforming to the contour of a rounded grill or smoker. A scoop body is coupled to the scoop back and extends from a scoop back bottom edge perpendicular to a scoop back front side. A scoop handle is coupled to the scoop back back side. The curved ash scraper apparatus comprises a scraper blade having a blade front side, a blade back side, a blade top edge, and a blade bottom edge. The blade bottom edge is arcuate and conforms to the contour of the scoop back bottom edge. A scraper handle is coupled to the blade back side.

A heat reflective apparatus for use on the ground adjacent to campfires. The apparatus include a plurality of separate panels. Each of the plurality of panels are configured for vertical orientation and have a top edge and an opposing bottom edge defining a height and opposing side edges defining a width. A plurality of vertically oriented hinges, with each being connected to a side edge of two adjacent panels of the plurality of panels. This allows each of the connected adjacent panels to move between a collapsed position facing the other adjacent panel and an open position in relation with the other adjacent panel. At least two of the plurality of panels have at least one ground spike secured to the bottom edges thereof. The ground spikes are configured to secure the plurality of panels to the ground.

The present disclosure is directed to a firebox basket for a barbeque grill or smoker. In one form, the present disclosure provides a grill comprising an ash depository, a firebox basket positioned in the grill above the ash depository; and a cooking rack positioned above the firebox basket. The firebox basket comprises: a support basket defining an internal area, the support basket comprising: a plurality of concentrically stacked rungs that define a side wall of the firebox basket; and a grate positioned at a bottom of the plurality of concentrically stacked rungs; and a plurality of ceramic pieces disposed within the support basket. The support basket is configured to support the plurality of ceramic pieces around the internal area of the support basket.

An oven is provided, which includes a domed ceiling, a baking stone located below the domed ceiling, a cooking chamber between the domed ceiling and the baking stone, a front opening that provides access to the cooking chamber for food and utensils, a combustion chamber adjacent to, and at least partially below, the cooking chamber, and a rear opening that provides access to the combustion chamber.

The present invention relates to a fire pit wind screen device for protecting or shielding flames of a fire pit from the wind. The wind screen device can be used with any fire pit to block a portion of the fire pit from wind. The device includes vertical bolted stakes, a lower circular ring bolted to the inner surfaces of the stakes proximal to the bottom of the stakes, and an upper circular ring bolted to the inner surfaces of the stakes. The rings can move vertically along the longitudinal axis of the stakes to adjust the effective height of the device. The wind screen is a convex shaped guard or shield that can block the wind and shield the flames of the fire pit. The shield is configured to rotate to a position and direction wherein the convex surface faces into the wind.

Evaporator system used for the production of maple syrup. The evaporator system includes at least one receptacle, a combustion chamber, an evacuation port and an air supply system. The evaporator system also includes a door assembly being configured for removably mounting onto a corresponding support frame of the evaporator system, and being operable between an opened configuration for allowing access to the combustion chamber and to be able to selectively feed biomass into the combustion chamber via the inlet thereof, and a closed configuration for preventing access to and closing off the inlet of the combustion chamber, the door assembly being provided with at least one aeration passage extending between an outer portion of the door assembly and an inner portion therefor, for providing a supply of secondary air to the combustion chamber via said at least one aeration passage of the door assembly when operated in the closed configuration.
