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 sealed chimney damper is provided for preventing flow of air between an interior and exterior of a structure through a chimney. The sealed damper includes a damper body having an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture; an upper flange formed around the outlet aperture of the damper body; a valve plate hingedly secured to the damper body adjacent the outlet aperture, the valve plate sized to substantially cover the outlet aperture when the valve plate is in a closed position; and a gasket secured to the upper flange of the damper body and surrounding the outlet aperture, wherein the gasket is positioned between the valve plate and damper body when the valve plate is in a closed position.

A portable campfire device. The device has the capability of maintaining a biomass fire in a firepot without the constant attendance that a campfire requires.

A catalytic cookstove, for use in cooking, heating, and lighting, is disclosed for reducing particulate matter and carbon monoxide emissions. A non-platinum group metal catalyst promotes oxidation of particulate matter and carbon monoxide to produce carbon dioxide. Additionally, a passive damper automatically adjusts the fuel-to-air ratio based upon the size of fuel fed to the stove to ensure catalyst light off.

A fireplace system can comprise a first safety barrier and a second safety barrier disposed across a firebox opening and defining an interbarrier space. A fireplace system can also comprise a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the interbarrier space. The interbarrier space and heat exchanger may further be in fluid communication with ambient air. Operation of the fireplace system may produce natural convection through the interbarrier space, resulting in cooling of the safety barrier and the fireplace system.

An actuated vent valve external of, and in series with a vent port of, a solid-fueled cooker is automatically controlled by controlling a flow of air into a combustion region of the solid-fueled cooker so as to substantially regulate a first temperature within a cooking region of a solid-fueled cooker to a user-defined temperature level responsive to a first temperature signal measured within the cooking region of the solid-fueled cooker.

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.
