Provided is a backguard panel for an appliance with an integrated front-mounted proud-glass control unit. An opening is defined within the front wall of the backguard panel has for receiving the control unit. A recessed seat, configured to receive a sealing gasket for sealing the space between the control unit and the backguard panel, surrounds the opening. The control unit has a housing suspended from a proud glass pane that protrudes forward of the front wall of the backguard panel when the housing is fully inserted into the opening. Rearwardly projecting brackets establish a friction fit to temporarily hold the control unit in place until fasteners can be installed to apply a compressive force on the sealing gasket between the glass pane and the backguard panel. A cooking appliance with a backguard panel with an integrated front-mounted proud-glass control unit is also provided.

A fireplace includes a housing, a burner, a gasification device, a liquid supply device, a fuel tank, and a controller. The burner includes an intake port, horizontal portions, and inclined portions. Ends of inclined portions are connected to ends of horizontal portions, and the other ends of the horizontal portions are connected to each other. The horizontal portions, the inclined portions, and the main body each have a hollow structure and are in communication. The inclined portions are inclined with respect to the horizontal portions, and the inclined portions and the horizontal portions are combined into a three-dimensional shape. The intake port is below the burner and communicates with the interior of the burner. The horizontal portions include first flame holes, the inclined portions include second flame holes, and the main body includes third flame holes. Flames burn in the main body, the horizontal portions, and the inclined portions.

A device includes a chamber, a lid, heating elements, a base, and a controller. The chamber is a structure containing a inner cavity, the base is below the chamber, and the heating elements are between a lower surface of the chamber and the base. Cooling fins are in the inner cavity connected to a lower surface of the inner cavity and are close to the heating elements. Channels for liquid circulation are provided between fins and between the fins and an inner wall of the chamber. The lid is above the chamber and seals the inner cavity so that the inner cavity is closed. Gas outlet ports are on the lid. Due to the cooling fins, when the heating elements heat liquid fuel in the inner cavity, the liquid fuel is heated uniformly, and the gasification process is stable and controllable, avoiding explosive boiling of the liquid fuel.

In an aspect, data characterizing an instruction for an activation of an igniter and an operating mode of a smoke generator that includes the igniter can be received. A first amount of energy required for an ignition of a fuel source by the igniter can be determined based on the operating mode characterized by the received data. The igniter can be caused to activate based on the received data. A second amount of energy, output by the igniter over a period of time during which the igniter is activated, can be determined. A determination of whether the second amount of energy exceeds the first amount of energy can be made. The igniter can be caused to deactivate in response to a determination that the second amount of energy exceeds the first amount of energy. Related systems, apparatus, techniques, and articles are also described.

A method for controlling a cooking device includes detecting a temperature of a door on the cooking device, comparing the detected temperature with a predetermined warning and/or reference temperature, generating a predetermined warning if the detected temperature is equal to or higher than the predetermined warning and/or reference temperature, and outputting the predetermined warning.
