The present invention discloses a portable cooking stove comprising a base portion adapted to hold a heating means, and a removable top member for supporting a cooking implement, characterised in that the base portion comprises a support member for supporting the top member, the support member comprising a plurality of leaves, the intended lower edge of each vane being pivotally connected to the circumference of the base portion such that, in use, the leaves will extend upwardly from the base portion in order to support the top member, and when not in use, the intended upper edge of the leaves are pivoted towards the centre of the base portion.

A grill including an upper shell and a lower shell is provided. The lower shell defines an opening there-through, and the upper shell and the lower shell together define a cooking chamber. A pellet burner is adapted to fit in the opening in the lower shell. The pellet burner includes an air duct having a first end and a second end. The first end is positioned outside of the lower shell and the second end is positioned inside of the lower shell when the pellet burner is fitted in the opening in the lower shell. The pellet burner includes a fan positioned to blow air through the air duct and through the second end of the air duct, and a pellet box configured to hold a plurality of pellets. An auger moves the pellets to a position adjacent the second end of the air duct that contains a hot rod.

Described herein are portable cooking assemblies, including a portable cooking assembly that may include: a first container having a first sidewall and an opening; a stove disposed in the first container, the stove may include: a second sidewall having an exhaust aperture and an air intake aperture; and a base coupled to the second sidewall; wherein fuel may be capable of being burned within the stove; and a lid coupled to the first sidewall of the first container and covering the opening and the stove.

A cooking apparatus may include a cooking chamber at least partially defining an interior volume and a substantially open upper portion. The cooking chamber may include a side wall at least partially defining a lower portion of the cooking chamber. The cooking apparatus may also include a lid configured to substantially close the upper portion of the cooking chamber. The cooking apparatus may further include a heating module configured to be coupled to, and removed from, at least one of the side wall or the lower portion of the cooking chamber. The heating module may be configured to provide a source of heat for the cooking apparatus, and, in some examples, the heating module may be configured to generate heat using at least one of a flammable gas, charcoal, pellets, or wood.

A gas collapsible stove includes an expandable combustion chamber formed from nested annular rings that can collapse to about the height of a single ring and expand into a combustion chamber for burning combustible materials. Ventilation holes at the bottom of the combustion chamber provide airflow into the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is frustoconical and narrows at the top which increases air flow into the combustion chamber via the Venturi effect. Combustible fuels can be added and ignited in the combustion chamber and cookware containing food can be placed onto an associated top plate suspending the combustion chamber. A gas head with a plurality of gas apertures can be inserted through a bottom plate secured to the bottommost annular ring to allow a combustible gas to be used as a combustible fuel in the combustion chamber.

A duel-fuel fireplace apparatus is described. In one example, an apparatus includes an enclosure having a door disposed thereon and a wood-burning compartment disposed within the enclosure. The wood-burning compartment has an insulated housing configured to support temperatures associated with burning of wood within the wood-burning compartment. A gas-burning compartment is also disposed within the enclosure and has a gas burner disposed therein. A mechanism including a motor is configured to cause movement between a first mode in which the wood-burning compartment is viewable through the door and a second mode in which the gas-burning compartment is viewable through the door.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for providing a gas burner adapter in a wood fire pit, comprising: a burner; a connector removably connected to a bummer configured to transit through a narrow opening at the bottom of a wood fire pit; and a connection to a gas source.
