Abstract: A one-piece hood for a gas grill is formed from a single sheet of steel and comprises at least a front wall, a back wall, opposing side walls, and a top wall. Each of the opposing side walls further includes an indented central portion that has a substantially uniform depth and a perimeter internally adjacent to the side wall perimeter. The indented central portions increase the structural strength of the hood so as to better resist warping due to heating. A sloped wall can be formed between the top wall and the front wall.

Abstract: The present invention is to a method and apparatus for merchandising charcoal products in a box dimensioned for display on a store shelf. The box has a handle and preferably includes a merchandising window. Wood chip samples, such as hickory chips or mesquite chips, can be packaged with the tote box and the presence of the sample is preferably made known to consumers via the merchandising window. The tote box handle and size allows for easier consumer handling and the box form allows improved retail and consumer storage. Additionally, since boxes are inherently more stable than bags and are less prone to tipping over, consumers benefit from reduce spillage from opened containers. The box size combined with the merchandising window and wood chip sample provides retailers with improved marketing of charcoal products.

Abstract: A mix and match chair having a plurality of legs and removable chair components such as seats, backrests, footrests, and armrests. The mix and match chair comprises a chair frame having a backrest portion and a seat portion. Attached to the backrest and seat portion is a backrest pan and a seat pan, respectively. The pans have holes and at least one raised locator area. The seat and backrest have arcuate shaped apertures and a cutout. The cutouts mate with the raised locator area of the pans. Thus, the locator areas provide a mechanism for precise placement of the chair component and for the firm attachment of the chair component to the chair frame. Extending through the arcuate shaped apertures and the holes are fasteners. Other chair components are provided with the same mechanism for attaching to the chair frame.
