  • CONVECTION BASED COOKING APPARATUS WITH GRATE
    Publication number: 20080121118
    Abstract: A draft chimney for a convention based apparatus. The draft chimney comprises a flue at least partially defining a path of convection airflow through at least a portion of the interior of a cabinet. The flue passes convection airflow to the exterior of the cabinet.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 28, 2007
    Publication date: May 29, 2008
    Inventor: Jimmy A. Sikes

  • Convection based cooking method with flow of combined heated air and steam
    Patent number: 6143341
    Abstract: A convection based cooking apparatus with an insulating baffle to provide improved air-flow and isolation between a cooking chamber and a heating chamber. The heating chamber and the cooking chamber are positioned side by side, and separated by the insulating baffle. The insulating baffle is hollow for holding a liquid and includes an opening for emitting steam. An air passage exists between the heating chamber and the cooking chamber, in such a way that, heated air passes through the passage, flows over the insulating baffle to combine with the steam, and then into the cooking chamber. The air passage is located near the top of the heating chamber and the cooking chamber. As the air passes over the insulating baffle, the air is diffused throughout the cooking chamber and thereby uniformly distributed across a cooking surface within the cooking chamber.
