Abstract: The present invention provides a dome cover for a outdoor heater that is made up of a plurality of sides. Each side has at least three edges, a first edge is a finished edge, a second edge includes at least a first complementary fastener portion and a third edge includes at least a second complementary fastener portion. The first and second complementary fastener portions are configured and arranged to fit together to removably attach adjacent pairs of sides to form a generally pyramidal shape. At least two edges on each of the sides are elevated at an angle above the plane formed by the base to form the generally pyramidal shape. A cap is configured and arranged to hold the sides at the preferred angle. A locking plate is designed to cooperate with the cap to capture the sides between them.

Abstract: A stand for storing an LP gas tank and for supporting a barbeque grill having a bowl includes a leg assembly having a plurality of legs and a tank platform that is in registry with a positioning ring for receiving the LP gas tank. A body has a base attached to the leg assembly and a top opposite the base. The body is configured for substantially surrounding the LP gas tank. The positioning ring is formed by a reinforced edge at the base and is configured for engaging the LP tank. A bowl support has a top surface, an outer rim, a depending lip and a plurality of ridges. Each of the ridges runs from the outer rim to the depending lip, the outer rim being configured to engage the top of the body. The top surface also has a bowl cavity configured for receiving the bowl.

Abstract: An insect trap apparatus includes a trap housing having at least one inlet and at least one outlet. A source of suction is located within the housing and is in fluid communication with the inlet for drawing insects through the inlet. Carbon dioxide gas is disposed in the housing and includes a combustion chamber with a chamber outlet. An exhaust system is connected to the CO2 gas source for directing a flow of CO2 from the gas source to the at least one outlet. Insects are caught in a trap cup that is connected to the housing and disposed between the inlet and the source of suction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved barbecue kettle leg support featuring a body that is contoured to fit the curved shape of a barbecue kettle bowl and to receive an end of a leg with a locking formation. Fastener bores are configured for mounting the leg support to the bowl. Preferably, the leg support is mounted midway between the top and bottom of the bowl for increased stability. A keyed bore enables assembly of the leg with the locking formation. The locking formation utilizes a pin which is attached to a bias spring to prevent unwanted detachment of the leg from the leg support. The locking formation is configured to allow assembly and disassembly to be performed without the use of tools.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dome guard for a dome cover having an inside surface, an outside surface and a rim. The dome guard includes a heat resistant grid, at least one standoff for holding the dome guard a first predetermined distance from the dome cover, and a clip for engaging the inside rim of the dome cover. Contact of human skin with the rim of the dome is limited by the clip, which holds the dome guard a second predetermined distance from the inside rim of the dome.

Abstract: A dome cover for an outdoor heater is provided that is made up of a plurality of sides that easily assemble to form the cover. Each of the sides has at least three edges, at least one of which is a finished edge. The sides are configured and arranged for being connected to form a generally raised shape, where the sides are elevated at an angle above a plane formed by the finished edges of the assembled dome cover. A cap is configured and arranged to hold the sides at the angle. All of the sides are held in place by a locking plate that cooperates with the cap to capture the sides therebetween. A fastener holds the dome cover together. This construction makes the dome cover easily assembled by the user without the need for tools.

Abstract: A portable fireplace assembly that rests upon a substrate includes a base for supporting and burning combustible material. A support frame is sized and configured to support the base, and includes one or more frame members. One or more vertical supports are provided to support the base in a vertical displacement from the substrate and include one or more generally vertical struts securable to the frame. The fireplace has one or more screen segments, being sized and configured to mount on the supports, preferably with a tab and slot mechanism. When mounted on the supports, the one or more screen segments form a cage, and are configured to surround the combustible material when the cage is formed. A lid is sized and configured to cover the cage.

Abstract: A cart configured for receiving a kettle-type barbecue having a lid and a kettle portion, the cart including a lower bracket having at least three corners, each corner having a first female frusto-conical section shape and being configured to receive and securely hold a corner post having a male frusto-conical section shape. An upper bracket has at least three corners, each corner having a second female frusto-conical section shape and being configured to receive and securely hold a corner post having a male frusto-conical section shape. Also provided are a plurality of corner posts having a plurality of spaced annular grooves, and a plurality of male frusto-conical members configured for engaging the grooves and being disposed at a selected position on the corresponding corner post for engaging the female frusto-conical shapes on the corners. A kettle bracket is associated with the upper bracket and is configured for receiving the kettle portion of the barbecue in a frictional relationship.
