Abstract: An electronic control for a grill, providing enhanced functionality and safety features. A hydrocarbon detector system provides an intermittently operated electro-optic device emitting photons at a wavelength which selective interacts with hydrocarbon as compared to air, associated with a detector for detecting the selective interaction and an alarm monitor for detecting an alarm state. A food temperature sensor is employed to proportionately control combustible fuel flow rate, to thereby control a food temperature profile. A communications network interface is provided to allow remote control and monitoring.

Abstract: A flexible environmental protective cover for a compressed gas transport tank, having a cylindrical body, an upwardly extending valve, and a valve protection structure having a handle opening, the cover comprising a generally cylindrical drape portion; an upwardly extending enveloping portion, adapted to surround the upper valve protection structure of the tank and having an opening corresponding the handle opening, contiguous with the cylindrical drape portion; and an upper portion, inside the upwardly extending enveloping portion, having an aperture corresponding to a location of the upwardly extending valve, and allowing the valve to extend therethrough. The cover may include a business card holder flap, as well as an optional sensor system for determining liquid level in the tank and hazardous environmental gas levels.
