Provided is a portable grill device including at least one substantially vertical, flat heat source, at least one support for food to be grilled that is arranged in front of the heat source, at least one drive unit for rotating the at least one support for food to be grilled about a substantially vertical axis of rotation, and a power supply for supplying the drive unit with the power required for the operation thereof. The portable grill device includes at least one adjustment unit which is designed to steplessly adjust a spacing between the at least one heat source and the at least one support for food to be grilled, during operation of the grill device.

Example dual-burner assemblies for cookboxes of gas grills are disclosed. An example dual-burner assembly includes a first burner tube and a second burner tube. The first burner tube has a first maximum heat output. The second burner tube has a second maximum heat output. The second burner tube is spaced apart from the first burner tube by a distance of no more than 0.750 inches. The second maximum heat output is less than the first maximum heat output.

A cooking apparatus, including a body defining an interior cooking chamber and a combustion chamber coupled to the body. The combustion chamber is arranged to heat the cooking chamber, and includes a fuel supply port and an air supply port separate from the fuel supply port. A fuel supply assembly is coupled to the body, and includes a fuel supply reservoir arranged to provide fuel to the fuel supply port. An air supply assembly is coupled to the body, and includes an air moving member arranged to move air towards the air supply port. A baffle is within the combustion chamber separating a combustion zone from the air supply port.

The present technology provides a multi-purpose cooking apparatus that provides simultaneous smokeless grilling for food products and air frying for food products utilizing the same fan and heating elements. A lower portion of the apparatus includes an enclosed air fryer cooking chamber with a closable door. The air fryer cooking chamber is heated with heating elements and a fan for blowing heated air through the cooking chamber. The upper portion of the apparatus utilizes the same upper heating elements as the air fryer chamber and includes a grilling surface, such as a grilling plate, in an enclosed interior cooking environment. The fan pulls air from the upper portion, filters smoke from the air, and returns the air to the lower portion of the apparatus. The heated, smokeless, circulated air from the fan is used to air fry in the lower portion.

A utensil for cleaning a cooking surface has cleaning head affixed to a distal end of an elongate handle. The head has a base and a porous cover. Submerging the head in a liquid enables the liquid to flow through the porous cover and perforations in the base into chambers within the base. Applying the head having the liquid-filled chambers against the cooking surface enables the liquid to flow from the chambers and through the perforations and continuously dampen the porous cover.

Pests such as rodents commonly enter outdoor cooking grills. Outdoor grills are a source of food and shelter for pests. The filth associated with pests can not only contaminate grill surfaces and threaten the health and safety of grill cooking, it can also affect the enjoyment of eating food from an outdoor grill. Conventional grill covers do not solve this problem. The device addressed in this application provides a simple solution for the problem. The device attaches to the bottom edge of the typical grill cover and blocks access into the grill by pests.

A motor-actuated actuated-vent-valve is configured to operatively couple to a vent port of a solid-fueled cooker. The vent port is in series with both a flow of air into a combustion region of the cooker, and a flow of resulting combustion gases from the cooker, the flow of air being responsive to a position of the actuated-vent-valve. A first controller adapted to receive a sensed-temperature signal responsive to a temperature within a cooking region of the cooker, and operatively coupled to an externally-located actuator motor of the motor-actuated actuated-vent-valve, provides for automatically electronically controlling the position of the actuated-vent-valve to a continuum of positions within a range of the positions, thereby substantially regulating the first temperature within the cooking region of the solid-fueled cooker to a user-defined temperature level responsive to the sensed-temperature signal by controlling an exclusively-naturally-occurring flow of air into the combustion region of the cooker.

A wireless temperature-measurement system comprising (a) one or more temperature probes each including one or more energy-storage capacitors which supply the electrical energy for operation of the probe(s) and (b) a probe-charging station having circuitry configured to supply electric charge to the energy-storage capacitors prior to the temperature probes being positioned to measure temperature.

Provided is a canopy cover for a roller grill assembly that works in conjunction with a roller grill food separating device. The canopy includes a pair of support brackets that contact the sidewalls of the roller grill to support the canopy thereon. The canopy support brackets include cutouts for positioning a food separating device on the grill assembly. The configuration of the cutouts allows the food separating device support brackets to rest between the ends of the canopy support brackets and on the roller grill. The canopy further includes a pair of canopy header brackets for supporting a header graphic custom sign positioned above the roller grill. The canopy provides a sanitary cover for a roller grill and a food separating device that permits segregation of food products on the grill surface, protects the food from contaminants, and provides support for an advertising sign.

The invention claims a scraping tool for facilitating the effective cleaning of hot or cold grill grates utilizing a 304 stainless-steel, double-sided, elliptical-slotted blade head which is removable and replaceable. One side of the blade head having six elliptical-shaped slots cleaning the right side, top and underside right bottom of the grill grate rods and when the blade head is rotated 180 degrees to the opposite side, the six elliptical-shaped slots, cleans the left side, top and underside left bottom of the grill grate rods, effectively cleaning all six rods without having to remove the grill grate to clean the underside. The long handle/shaft has a shape and texture to safely and comfortably fit the hand while cleaning hot or cold grill grate rods.
