Publication number: 20180296033Abstract: A radiant tray system may be positioned between a burner and a grate of a cooking device. The system may include ceramic tiles and a housing having generally planar walls configured to house the tiles therebetween. The walls receive and grasp tiles between corresponding tile slots through each of the walls and thereby stably position the tile within the tile slots. The walls may also include vent ports for promoting flow of combustion gases through the housing. The housing may be symmetrical with respect to a common reference plane disposed between the walls to support selectively invertable use of the housing. Inversion of the housing after use in one orientation allows drippings to be pyrolized during continued use in the inverted orientation. The pyrolized drippings are readily scrapped or brushed from the walls and tiles.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2018Publication date: October 18, 2018Applicant: Hestan Commercial CorporationInventors: Hans F.
