Abstract: A grill or BBQ appliance that is generally intended for outdoor use has a pivoting hood disposed in hinged connection with a grill body, both of which are raised above a firebox that receives a food support grate including a set of food support modules. A gas burner assembly including a set of modular trellis burners may be positioned along the lower end of the firebox. A set of radiant tray modules may be correspondingly positioned between food support modules and burners. Branches of burner trellises may be spaced apart in distances corresponding to locations of an array of tiles grasped by the radiant tile module.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a rack includes a pair of spaced apart inverted U shaped brackets. Each bracket has a top portion coupled in-between a rear leg and a front leg and forming a gap in-between the rear leg and the front leg. The top portion, the rear leg, and front leg of each bracket are disposed in a first plane. The rack further includes one or more horizontal coupling members coupled in-between the pair of brackets. The horizontal coupling members and the front leg of each bracket are disposed in a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane. The rack also includes one or more first horizontal supporting members coupled to and extending outward from a first bracket of the pair of brackets. The first horizontal supporting members are disposed in a third plane that is orthogonal to the first and second planes.

Abstract: A grill or BBQ appliance that is generally intended for outdoor use has a pivoting hood disposed in hinged connection with a grill body, both of which are raised above a firebox that receives a food support grate. The hood may include various double wall configurations or cavities configured to protect wiring or electrical components such as lights or sensors.

Abstract: A grill or BBQ appliance that is generally intended for outdoor use has a pivoting hood disposed in hinged connection with a grill body, both of which are raised above a firebox that receives a food support grate. The hood may include overhanging lights configured to provide optimal lighting through a range of hood positions.

Abstract: A radiant tray system may be positioned between a burner and a grate of a cooking device. The system may include ceramic tiles and a housing having generally planar walls configured to house the tiles therebetween. The walls receive and grasp tiles between corresponding tile slots through each of the walls and thereby stably position the tile within the tile slots. The walls may also include vent ports for promoting flow of combustion gases through the housing. The housing may be symmetrical with respect to a common reference plane disposed between the walls to support selectively invertable use of the housing. Inversion of the housing after use in one orientation allows drippings to be pyrolized during continued use in the inverted orientation. The pyrolized drippings are readily scrapped or brushed from the walls and tiles.

Abstract: A door for a towel dispensing cabinet may be pivotable over an opening of a cavity. Frameworks may extend from a face of the door and define slots for stably receiving ends of a spindle assembly onto which a towel roll may be mounted. The frameworks may also include channels through which a shaft connecting the ends of the spindle assembly may be received to allow the spindle assembly to be received deeper into the slots. Towels may be dispensed from spindle assembly when stably received within the frameworks when the door is open. The door may be closed to position the spindle assembly within the cavity and seal the opening. The spindle assembly may also be removed from the frameworks for separate use when the door is open.
