Abstract: A cooking device including a housing assembly, device components, and a lower door. The housing assembly defines a cooking volume configured to receive a cooking structure on which foodstuffs are placed. The housing assembly includes a fixed bottom portion having rear portion that includes lower, rear curve. At least a subset of the device components is positioned in a lower portion of the cooking volume located below the cooking structure. The lower door is movably coupled to the fixed bottom portion of the housing assembly and is positionable in an open position in which the subset of the device components is accessible. In a closed position, the lower portion of the cooking volume is substantially sealed. The lower door include a front lower curve that is substantially similar to the lower, rear curve.

Abstract: In one example, a watercraft includes a hull in the form of a unitary, single-piece structure that is substantially hollow, and made of plastic. A grip is provided that is integral with the hull and includes a recess that is formed in a skin of the hull and is integral with the hull, and the grip also includes an undercut that is formed in the skin of the hull proximate an edge of the recess. The undercut is integral with the hull and communicates with the recess.
Abstract: A foot assembly includes a block retainer and a non-skid block. The block retainer is configured to be positioned at least proximate to an edge between a bottom surface and a side surface of a structure. The block retainer includes a planar portion, an angled portion, and a front surface. The planar portion has an interior surface configured to contact the bottom surface. The angled portion is diposed at an angle from the planar portion and includes an interior surface configured to contact an angled contact surface of the structure. The front surface includes a first dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF). The non-skid block is connected to the planar portion and includes an exterior portion extending from the front surface away from the structure and includes a second DCOF greater than the first DCOF.

Abstract: An embodiment includes a leg height adjustment mechanism that includes a first and second latch arms, a first and second retractors, and an activator. The latch arms each include an engagement structure. The retractors each include a sloped surface and a receiving structure. The receiving structure is engaged with one of the engagement structures of the first or the second latch arms. The first latch arm extends in a first lateral direction and the second latch arm extends a second lateral direction. The second retractor is separated from the first retractor in a second lateral direction that is opposite the first lateral direction. The activator includes angled lower surfaces that are positioned outwardly relative to the sloped surfaces.

Abstract: A cooking device includes a housing assembly, a first heat source, a second heat source, a first heat control system, and a second heat control system. The housing assembly defines two cooking volumes adjacent to one another. A first cooking volume has a first portion of the cooking structure and a second cooking volume has a second portion of the cooking structure. The first heat source is disposed in the first cooking volume and provides thermal energy directly to the first portion of the cooking structure. The second heat source is disposed in the second cooking volume and occluded from the second portion of the cooking structure to provide thermal energy indirectly to the second portion of the cooking structure.

Abstract: A folding chair may include a frame that is configured to transition the folding chair between use and storage positions. A seat base may be pivotally coupled thereto at a first particular length from a front end and a receiving portion may be disposed in an upper surface. The receiving portion may include left and right lateral edges, front and rear longitudinal edges, and a depth. The padding material may be disposed in the receiving portion and may have a lateral dimension related to a distance between the front and the rear longitudinal edges, a longitudinal dimension related to a distance between the front and the rear longitudinal edges, and a thickness related to the depth. The padding layer may cover a majority of a top surface of the padding material and of the upper surface. The cover may retain the padding material and the padding layer relative to the seat base.
