A fire pit cover includes a cap body, a bottom sleeve, a first high-temperature thread, a second high-temperature thread, a weighted ring, and a pair of handles. The cap body includes a flat top portion and an annular lateral portion. The flat top portion, the annular lateral portion, the bottom sleeve, and the pair of handles is made of a silica-glass-fabric material to withstand high temperature of the fire pit/stove. A top end of the annular lateral portion is perimetrically hermetically connected around the flat top portion to the flat top portion through the first high-temperature thread. The bottom sleeve is perimetrically positioned around a bottom end of the annular lateral portion and hermetically connected to the annular lateral portion through the second high-temperature thread. The weighted ring is enclosed within the bottom sleeve. The pair of handles is laterally connected to the annular lateral portion.

A smoker grill with separately accessible drawers for managing steam, smoke, combustion and ash while maintaining the cooking process without having to remove the food product from the racks, optimizing cook time, decreasing the likelihood of food contamination, and making cleanup simple and easy. The grill includes a cooking chamber with racks, with a half cylinder top and box shaped lower compartment with three drawers containing a removable liquid or water box with an interconnected V-channels for creating steam and collecting drippings and allowing heat to pass through to cook food items, a removable fire box with a perforated metal floor for burning solid fuels (charcoal, wood, etc.), and a removable ash box (ash collection drawer) for collecting residuals of burnt solid fuel. The perforated floor allows air to flow up into the combustion chamber while allowing ashes to drop down away and out of the combustion chamber into the ash drawer.

A burner for burning fuels and modular heat utilizing appliances therefor. The burner includes a fuel holder, an outer wall surrounding the fuel holder and defining a combustion chamber, and optionally, a second wall surrounding the outer wall. Air is inducted from an inlet which may be an ash pan pivotally coupled to the outer wall at the bottom to open the combustion chamber. Supplementary combustion air is conducted to just above the fuel holder by the outer wall. Additional supplementary combustion air is conducted to just above the fuel holder by the second wall. The burner may include a pivotally mounted cooking grate and a pivotally mounted solid cover for closing the combustion chamber, and supporting legs. Modules individually yet replaceably attachable to the burner include a closed or open cooker, a smoker, a space heater, and a pyrolyzer.

A pellet stove includes a hopper for storing pellets, a basket for receiving the pellets by gravity, a duct for conveying combustion air to the basket, and a conduit for conducting heated air away from the basket. The position of the basket is adjustable, such as by raising and lowering it, or by rotating it, so as to control the number of pellets in the area of most intense combustion. One or more burn plates, positioned below the basket, provide platforms on which pellets falling through the basket can burn down to a smaller size. The pellet stove requires no external source of power. The stove so constructed enables quiet, efficient and clean burning of the pellets.
