Abstract: A mobile kitchen comprises a housing disposed atop one or more wheel axles and a plurality of appliances disposed within the housing. Each appliance is heated by combustion of a distillate fuel. One or more air channels are disposed about each of the appliances, such that each air channel substantially isolates excess heat from combustion of the distillate fuel from a workspace within the housing. One or more first air blowers are associated with the air channels, and each is adapted to force air through the air channels and vent the excess heat to the exterior of the housing. One or more second air blowers are coupled to the housing, and each second air blower is adapted to vent a predetermined volume of air from within the workspace at least once per minute.

Abstract: A convection oven is disclosed. The convection oven includes an indirect heating chamber and a housing forming both an oven chamber and a circulation path between the oven chamber and the indirect heating chamber. An air circulator is adapted to circulate air through the circulation path. A fuel burner is adapted to generate heat, and heat from the fuel burner is transferred to the indirect heating chamber through a heat exchange interface.
Abstract: A griddle cooking system is disclosed. A heating block includes a heat plenum and a plurality of heat release chambers fluidically coupled to the heat plenum. Each of the heat release chambers includes a chamber opening onto a first side of the heating block. A griddle is disposed opposite the first side of the heating block and includes a cooking surface opposite an under surface. A heat distributor is disposed between the under surface and the heating block. The heat distributor includes a plurality of heat diffusers, each being disposed over one of the chamber openings, a plurality of heat deflectors disposed about each heat diffuser, each heat deflector being positioned at an angle relative to the under surface, and an exhaust port.
