  • Patent number: 6012382
    Abstract: A flame disk for even heat distribution when using an external flame such as in a smoker grill assembly, and which prevents internal food drippings from escaping through the disk. The disk design enhances the heat efficiency, and safeguards against drippings or ashes falling through to the burner or ground. The disk design offers better performance when cooking. The holes in the disk are raised, and has attached legs strategically placed over the holes to deter drippings or ashes from falling through. The legs also support and lift the disk on its cooking base.
