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 pellet grill includes a grill body, a burning chamber and a wire grid arranged in the grill body. The wire grid is arranged above the burning chamber. A pellet inlet is formed in a lateral portion of the grill body. A fire-proof partition plate is arranged between the wire grid and the burning chamber and partitions the grill body into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The burning chamber is arranged in the lower cavity. The wire grid is arranged above the upper cavity. A fire-pervious window is arranged on the fire-proof partition plate and is located above the burning chamber. An opening and closing device for controlling the fire-pervious window to be opened to realize higher temperature or closed to realize lower temperature is arranged on the fire-pervious window. An ash removal mechanism for removing ash accumulated in the burning chamber is arranged on the grill body.

Disclosed is an outdoor cooking appliance with a control mechanism for controlling a heating system to provide heat to a cooking chamber of the appliance within a more precise range in temperature. For example, fuel provided to a burn pot for combustion to reach a range of a target temperature of the cooking chamber. A heating element provides additional heat to bring the temperature of the cooking chamber closer to the target temperature.

A moisture control apparatus for a cooking chamber of a cooking device. A cooking system that can include the cooking device and the moisture control apparatus connected to the cooking chamber of the cooking device. The moisture control apparatus can include a control portion and a dispersal portion. The control portion can be located on the outside of the cooking device. The control portion can control the flow of water to the dispersal portion so as to control moisture on a food in the cooking chamber of the cooking device by providing, by the dispersal portion, a mist or fog of water particles to the cooking surface of the cooking chamber. The dispersal portion can be located inside the cooking chamber of the cooking device, and the control portion can be located outside the cooking chamber of the cooking device.

The disclosure provides a food cooking device which comprises a grill body and a rack body, where a food cooking cavity is disposed in the grill body, and the rack body is disposed in the food cooking cavity and located below food being cooked, the rack body comprises at least one net rack, the net rack comprises a plurality of bar-shaped pieces disposed spaced from each other, two adjacent bar-shaped pieces are connected by a connecting piece, one side of each of the bar-shaped pieces facing the food being cooked is formed with an oil guiding groove extending along a length direction thereof, the net rack is obliquely mounted in the food cooking cavity so that the oil guiding groove on each of the bar-shaped pieces is in an inclined state, and two ends of the oil guiding groove form a height difference.

A wire pan and interlocking top insert component are disclosed. The wire pan's top side is formed by a closed loop wire, which is connected to the parallelly placed bottom of the wire pan by inwardly sloping wires. Attached to the inwardly sloping wires are frictional clamping flanges and bent wires, which connect opposite inwardly sloping wires. The distance between the frictional clamping flanges and bent wire is substantially equal to the top insert edge wires' diameter. Thus, the top insert can be entered into the spaces between the bent wires and frictional clamping flanges, holding it in place during usage. The majority of the bent wires abut the top insert wire, besides for their central depressions which form portals. These portals are sufficiently wide, in some embodiments, to enter a finger into in order ease the process of the detachment of the top rack from the wire pan.

A grill device having at least a first gas grill unit and a second gas grill unit for cooking food is described. The grill device includes a stand which carries the grill units and is intended for placement on the ground, and a base cabinet which is housed in the stand, and a central work unit disposed at a head end of the stand. The two grill units are fastened to the stand laterally from the work unit substantially opposite one another. Each grill unit includes a grill tray having a burning unit.

The present invention discloses a grill body structure of a pellet grill, in which a first plate surface of a fixture is assembled with an end shell by first fasteners; a second plate surface of the fixture is assembled with the end shell and a side plate by second fasteners to facilitate splicing and combination of a grill body; and the first fasteners and the second fasteners are externally disposed, and a positioning groove and the fixture separate the fasteners from a heating cavity to achieve heat insulation and improve heat insulation performance in the grill body; and disposition of the fixture is beneficial to improving structural strength of a connection between the end shell and the side plate and improving stability of the structure, and the form of detachable assembly facilitates transportation and carrying.

Fire pit systems including a base pan member having a base pan member lower wall with a pan outer periphery, and one or more side walls extending upward from the base pan member lower wall and along the pan outer periphery; at least two rod members extending upward along opposite sides of the pan outer periphery; and one or more additional accessories that are attachable to and detachable from at least one of the at least two rod members, the one or more additional accessories comprising a griddle, a grill, a coffee pot, a Dutch oven, a tubular spacer, a pot holder, a horizontal bar extending between two rod members of the at least two rod members, a warming tray, or any combination thereof. Methods of making and using the fire pit systems.

A self-contained portable cooking system that prevents mess and facilitates storage and transportation. In one embodiment, a portable cooking system includes an outer container defining a chamber; and a cooking unit being configured to be entirely contained within the chamber of the outer container, the cooking unit being removable from the outer container. In one embodiment, a method of using a portable cooking system includes removing the cooking unit from the outer container, placing an open second end of a cooking column of the cooking unit on a support surface, and placing a cooking platform of the cooking unit on an open first end of the cooking column.
