A beverage warmer includes a base and a sidewall extending from the base to form a portion of a cavity wall. A support surface is disposed on the wall, generally opposite the base. The wall defines a window, for receiving a self-contained heating element. The support surface has a plurality of extending tabs that hold a container to be warmed in spaced relation to the support surface. The support surface also defines an aperture therein. The extending tabs are disposed about a periphery of the aperture to support the container to be warmed above the aperture.

A portable stove for cooking s'mores is disclosed herein wherein a gel chafing fuel is centrally disposed within a shell and away from the shell so that heat generated by the gel chafing fuel does not heat up the shell excessively so that a person would burn his or her fingers if the person touches the exterior surface of the shell. The portable stove has a gel chafing fuel holder for positioning the gel chafing fuel within the shell.

The present invention is directed to a vessel attachment system (1) for a portable stove comprising a vessel (2) and a vessel support (3), wherein the vessel (2) comprises a first attaching means and the vessel support (3) comprises a second attaching means. The first attaching means and the second attaching means are configured to provide for a positive locking between the vessel (2) and the vessel support (3). The invention is characterized in that the first attaching means is a polygonal opening (4) in a bottom area of the vessel (2) and the second attaching means is a polygonal supporting means (5), wherein the polygonal supporting means (5) is insertable into the polygonal opening (4). Subsequent relative rotational movement between the vessel (2) and the vessel support (3) after insertion of the polygonal supporting means (5) in to the polygonal opening (4) provides for the positive locking between the vessel (2) and the vessel support (3).

An improved outdoor cooking apparatus features a pot with multiple cooking inserts and burner frame that supports a burner element. One insert can be used for cooking an entire poultry carcass. Other inserts are perforated baskets that can be used to fry items.

A burner assembly for an outdoor cooker or a commercial fryer has a jet tube into which gas is injected by a nozzle on an angle oblique to the centerline of the jet tube. The nozzle is supplied gas through a manifold having gas ports. One port serves as an inlet through which gas is supplied. Another port serves as an outlet feeding gas to the nozzle. The nozzle has an exit orifice that is positioned closer to the wall of the jet tube than to the tube's centerline to minimize blockage of air into the jet tube. The oblique injection of gas and minimized air blockage help the burner assembly maintain a high-temperature blue flame.
