Abstract: An improved gas cooker of the type having a housing, a burner supported in the housing, and a fixture for supplying gas to the burner, the gas burner having a plurality of apertures through which gas can be emitted for combustion in the form of a flame. The improvement comprises a thermal deflective body which is positioned apart from the burner and in the vicinity of the apertures so that the heat is deflected in a direction toward the object to be heated. Also provided is a dual purpose container which has dimensions selected so that the housing and burner can fit therein to be transported, and conversely so that said container can be positioned in the vicinity of the burner when the gas cooker is operative.

Abstract: An improved table top grill which includes a modular fire grate configuration for holding heat retention material in a predetermined area, the fire grate configuration being easily removeable from the grill. Two sets of fire grate modules are provided along with a heating grate so that a dual-purpose grill is obtained, wherein both a grilling operation and a pot or pan cooking operation can be conducted simultaneously.

Abstract: The invention provides a plural chamber gas burner for a cooking grill. The burner has an inside space between a top and a bottom. Divider walls divide the inside space into a breather space between two independently operable gas chambers. Breather apertures in the bottom of the burner provide communication between the breather space and the outside of the burner. Ignition apertures are provided in the divider walls near burner apertures in the gas chambers so that gas from an already operating gas chamber will ignite gas of another gas chamber.
