A portable, collapsible holder for a cooking container has a threaded collar that screws onto the neck of a chafing dish fuel container. Three panels are each rotatably connected to the collar with an offset hinge. The panels rotate between a first collapsed position in which the panels contact a top surface of the collar and a second position in which the panels are in a deployed position at an angle of about 105 to 155 degrees outward from the top surface. Rotation stops on the panel and collar limit the rotation.

There is described a portable oven, such as a wood-fired oven. The oven comprises a housing and a cooking surface arranged within the housing. The housing comprises a skirt extending below the cooking surface such as to raise the cooking surface from the bottom edge of the oven. There is also provided a method for making a portable oven.

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.

In one aspect, a stove can include a first cover including a cavity, and a second cover including a cavity. The stove can include a main portion including a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion can define a first opening and the second end portion define a second opening. In a stowed configuration, the first end portion of the main portion can be disposed in the cavity of the first cover and the second end portion of the main portion can be disposed in the cavity of the second cover. In a deployed configuration, the second cover can be arranged so that the cavity of the second cover is facing in a downward direction away from the main portion.

A stockpot has an outer pot and an inner pot. The outer pot has an outer pot body and an insulating pot bottom. The insulating pot bottom is connected to the outer pot body and has a connecting base, a flame guiding block, and multiple insulating mounts. The flame guiding block is mounted on the connecting base. The insulating mounts are mounted on the connecting base around the flame guiding block. The inner pot is mounted in the outer pot and has an inner pot body, two handles, and an inner pot bottom. The inner pot body is mounted in the outer pot body and has an abutting ring abutting a top of the outer pot body. The handles are securely connected to the abutting ring. The inner pot bottom is securely connected to the inner pot body above the insulating pot bottom of the outer pot.

A collapsible and portable fireplace apparatus is described herein that includes a housing that is expanded and opens to create an open space for forming a fire, the housing being supported by a lightweight base wire frame assembly that also maintains the housing in an expanded state while in use. Once the base wire frame assembly is removed, the fireplace easily folds or collapses at a number of pivot points for ease of storage and transport along with the wire frame assembly. For improved operability a shelf grate is provided within the open space of the housing to support the fuel above a base panel to allow air to circulate under the burning fuel.

The present invention relates to forced air cooking stoves, in particular, to efficient cooking stoves for use by the military, those undertaking general camping or other outdoor leisure pursuits, or by larger groups of people for entertaining or humanitarian purposes. The cooking stoves include a fan to aid combustion, and a collar to focus the exhaust gasses onto the cooking vessel. They are designed to make efficient use of any type of fuel, including biomass such as wood, and solid fuel blocks. They are also designed to minimise the soot deposited on the cooking vessel.

A method for making wood-fired pizzas at a customer designated location for an event comprises assembling a portable wood stove at the location, setting up a customized pizza assembly station adjacent the assembled stove and then individually making TO ORDER pizza pies for rapidly baking in that wood fired stove. After everyone's had their fill, the stove can be cooled, disassembled and carted off to its next event location for customized wood-fired pizza making for that event's attendees.

A portable and collapsible stove and lantern allowing clean combustion of biomass fuels found in the natural environment comprises a top member, a transparent member, a support member having an orifice and a plurality of windows, a chamber having a plurality of top and bottom openings and a mesh to support biomass fuels, and a main body having an insulation member, a reflecting member and a plurality of middle openings. When used, the transparent member is disposed within the support member that is disposed on top of the chamber which is then disposed within the main body, and the top member is disposed on top of the support member. Air drawn into the main body by the plurality of middle openings is further drawn into the chamber by the pluralities of top and bottom openings, mixed with fuels for combustion, producing flame into the support member through the orifice.

A heating device having a burn chamber that includes at least one opening, a conduction chamber adjacent to the burn chamber and including at least one aperture, a heat manifold including a first port and a second port, and at least one source vent extending between and coupling the first port of the heat manifold to the at least one opening of the burn chamber, and at least one exhaust vent, protruding from a surface of the heat manifold and extending between and coupling the second port of the heat manifold to the at least one aperture of the conduction chamber.
