Abstract: The apparatus is a porous barbeque grill grate. The apparatus incorporates slats that have two sides which hold together porous ceramic plates. The plates can be segmented in some embodiments. The slats are then configured next to one another in some angled differential. The configured slats are then incorporated onto a front and back plates to secure the apparatus unto a gas grill at some distance away from the grill's burner. The segmented porous barbeque grill grate provides for a steady thermal environment, distributing heat evenly, providing a steady flow of oxygen and allowing fuel to uniformly burn and allow flavor and aroma to rise up and be infused with the food that is being grilled or cooked.

Abstract: One feature pertains to an illuminating panel. The illuminating panel may include a pane stack having a perimeter and a perimeter light source having a plurality of light sources positioned outside of the pane stack and around the perimeter of the pane stack. The perimeter light source may be adapted to provide light to the pane stack through side surfaces of the pane stack. The illuminating panel also includes a housing that houses the pane stack and the perimeter light source. A control unit, which may be remote controlled, may also communicatively couple to the perimeter light source and provide power and communication signals to the perimeter light source that changes at least one of a color, brightness, blinking pattern, and/or special effects of the perimeter light source.
