Systems and methods for providing a convertible fire pit, grill, griddle, smoker and table apparatus are provided. The apparatus is configured such that a user can readily, easily, and safely convert the apparatus between a fire pit, a grill, and a smoker without tools. The apparatus may include a bowl, a grill frame support, e.g., a ring, positionable about the bowl, a shelf attachable to the grill frame support, a grate positionable within the bowl, and a grill frame positionable about grill frame support. The grill frame may be configured to rotate about the bearings within the grill frame support. The apparatus may also include interchangeable grill components positionable about the grill frame and a hood disposed above the grill frame.

A modular outdoor fireplace and brick oven system is configured to be easily transportable and assembled. The modular system has a chimney unit and at least one modular unit. The modular unit may be one of an oven unit and a fireplace unit. The chimney unit and at least one modular unit are uniquely aligned using a plurality of alignment means. The alignment means are disposed between the assembled units on a top surface and a bottom surface of each modular unit and the chimney unit. The modular units are designed to allow airflow from each modular unit to reach the chimney unit. The modular units may further have lifting holes designed to easily move the modular units or assembled system with a forklift, lifting straps, and slings.

A fireplace system can comprise a firebox and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may be in fluid communication with ambient air and may comprise an inlet configured to draw air into the front of the heat exchanger. Operation of a fireplace system comprising a heat exchanger may produce airflow through the heat exchanger by natural convection. The airflow through the heat exchanger may reduce heat transmission from the firebox and the fireplace system.

A universal device for the automation of solid fuel barbecues and ovens is provided that includes an automated draft butterfly-type valve housed in a chimney module. The chimney module can be installed at the smoke exhaust of the oven or barbecue over which control is intended. An electronic board is housed in a control module linked to a motor. The motor rotates the butterfly-type valve that in turn drives the exit of the gas flow via an exit signal that supplies the butterfly-type valve. The electronic board is in connection with at least a room temperature probe located within the chamber of the oven or barbecue. The control module has a control means and a power supply. A solid fuel barbeque can be fitted with the universal device.

A cooking appliance is disclosed including a burner assembly that effectively and efficiently combusts fuel and directs the resulting smoke from a burn pot of the burner assembly to a cook chamber of a cooking appliance. The burner assembly may include a series of openings and curved faces that provide airflow to push smoke from the burn pot to the cook chamber and provide more turbulence and better heat and smoke circulation in the smoker. The burn pot may define one or more vents and include a one or more curved or shrouded surfaces. The burner assembly may include one or more deflector plates configured to direct the flow of smoke from the burn pot to the cook chamber.
