Abstract: A deployable grill including a support frame having a support member operable between a stowed position and a deployed position. First and second brackets outwardly extend from the support member and are spaced-apart from one another to define a receiving area therebetween. A heating element is disposed on the support member adjacent to the receiving area. At least one spit rod is received in the receiving area.

Abstract: A burner assembly includes a spreader and a burner cap coupled to the spreader. The burner cap includes a sheet metal base bounded by a peripheral lip and a sheet metal top extending over the sheet metal base to define a gap and having a peripheral rim that wraps about at least a portion of the peripheral lip. The sheet metal base defines at least one port configured to allow air to flow into and out of the gap.

Abstract: A composite structure (12) that includes a first layer that includes a membrane (16) having a first melting point and a plurality of structural elements and a second layer that includes a thermoplastic material (32) having a second melting point that is lower than the first melting point, wherein at least a portion of the thermoplastic material (34) is at least one partially melted to flow around at least one structural element of the plurality of structural elements of the membrane (16) prior to resolidification to attach the first layer (16) to the second layer (32). The membrane (16) can be oleophobic or oleophilic and preferably includes expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. The thermoplastic material (32) can be of virtually any type and can be either hydrophobic or hydrophilic.
