Abstract: A solid fuel cooking range is described herein. Embodiments enable the user to cook food on an upper grill while simultaneously heating a separate dish in a lower oven. In certain embodiments, heat may be applied to the oven from both the top and bottom. Heat and airflow may be controlled using a shroud which does not enclose the sides of the upper cooking area and separate end plates. Embodiments may be portable and lightweight which enables the solid fuel cooking range to be used while traveling and in emergency situations.

Abstract: A portable support stand for a small diameter satellite dish (10) supported by a mast (22), mounted for pivotal movement in a vertical plane about a lower support bracket (40). A lower support base comprises a pair of legs (54, 56) having parallel straight portions (58) and diverging extending portions (60) for supporting the stand on a horizontal surface in a free standing relation. A ballast such as a stepping stone (70) is positioned on the upper surface of legs (54, 56) generally at the junctures of straight portions (58) with diverging portions (60) to minimize any overturning of the stand. A vertical mounting bar (76) is provided alternatively for mounting the support stand on a vertical supporting surface.

Abstract: In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, an antenna pole mounting assembly for a dish antenna or the like includes an elongated base bracket, a pivot bracket, scissor arms for connecting the base and pivot brackets to one another in various offset positions, and a pole clamp ring secured to the pivot bracket in a manner that allows full rotation orientation, whereby the base bracket can be secured to a wall in other than a horizontal position with the clamp ring in the vertical.
