Embodiments of a wind guard system for blocking a cross-wind from flowing through a gap defined between a griddle and a cooking station. The wind guard system includes multiple wind guard members each having a shield portion and a hook portion, the hook portion extending from an upper end portion of the shield portion. The hook portion is sized and configured to be positioned to removably hang over a top edge of upstanding walls of the griddle member so that a height of the shield portion extends downward to cover the gap defined between an underside of the griddle member and the upper side of the cooking station to at least partially prevent wind from moving through the gap.

A burner assembly shielding device for preventing blowout of a flame generated by the burner assembly includes a tube that is sized and shaped complementarily to a perimeter of a well of a burner assembly. A lower end of the tube is configured to insert into the well so that an upper end of the tube is fixedly positioned proximate to an upper plane that is defined by an upper limit of a grate of the burner assembly. A wall of the tube is configured to shield a flame that is generated by the burner assembly from wind to prevent the flame from being extinguished.

A covering member intended to be connected to a mini-oven, includes one or more connectors. The covering member is constructed and arranged to form at least a portion of the mini-oven door or to be placed between the cooking cavity and the mini-oven door when the door is closed, so as to limit access to the cooking cavity through the opening of the mini-oven. The covering member may reduce the quantity of heat energy lost from the cooking cavity when the mini-oven door is open, such that it improves the performance of the mini-oven and reduces cooking times.

The removable apparatus includes an outer wall and improved inner hollow shell which are both positioned on the cooktop of a gas stove to surround an upper section of a burner, where the outer wall surrounds the hollow shell. The improved inner hollow shell is a closed preferably circular hollow member having a larger section connected to a smaller section thereby forming a valley of space to retain dripping liquid substance in cooking. A plurality of openings penetrate through the larger section, wherein more openings are located to its low part. The outer wall has multiple openings which evenly penetrate therethrough. Many extensions projecting upwardly are spaced apart onto a top edge of the outer wall to support a cooking utensil. The apparatus is served as a flame heat transfer regulator for achieving high heating efficiency in cooking and a liquid substance retainer for easily maintaining the cooktop clean.

A collapsible windshield includes arched plates connected to one another by pivot assemblies so that the arched plates can be pivoted relative to one another between an extended position and a collapsed position. Each of the arched plates includes a concave face and a convex face. Only a portion of the convex face of each of the arched plates is placed against a portion of the concave face of another one of the arched plates when the collapsible windshield is in the extended position. The entire convex face of each of the arched plates is placed against the entire concave face of another one of the arched plates when the collapsible windshield is in the collapsed position. A group of the arched plates is directed in a direction. An alternate group of the arched plates is directed in an opposite direction when the collapsible windshield is in the collapsed position.

An enclosure for a range hood. The enclosure has side curtains depending from the sides of the range hood and a front curtain depending from the front of the range hood, all of which extend downward to the range. A first horizontal row of permanent magnets is formed at a lower edge of the front curtain, the front curtain being coupled to the front side of the range hood by a T shaped member having a hook portion for attaching to the front side of the range hood and a second horizontal row of permanent magnets oriented away from the range hood. The two horizontal rows of magnets are configured to couple together to support the front curtain in an elevated position. The curtains of the enclosure are configured to fully enclose the range and range hood.
