  • Patent number: 10327588
    Abstract: Embodiments of a griddle system, device, and method configured to manage unwanted food byproducts. The griddle system includes a griddle having an upper side and an underside. The upper side includes a flat cooking surface and a splash guard, the flat cooking surface having a rectangular shape extending to a rear end, a front end, a left end and a right end. The splash guard extends along a periphery of the upper side of the griddle, the upper side including a trough. The trough extends laterally from the rear end of the cooking surface and extends longitudinally along a length of the rear end of the cooking surface such that the trough defines an elongated through hole therein.

  • Patent number: 10327589
    Abstract: Embodiments of a griddle of the type for an outdoor cooking station is provided herein. The griddle includes a flat cooking surface with a splash guard extending along a periphery of the flat cooking surface. The flat cooking surface defines a trough positioned adjacent a rear end of the cooking surface such that the trough includes a sloping surface extending downward toward a rear opening defined in the splash guard along and adjacent the rear end of the flat cooking surface. With this arrangement, as a user cooks food on the griddle, unwanted grease may be pushed to the rear of the griddle and into the trough so that the grease funnels down the sloped surface and through the rear opening and into a grease container centered below the rear opening.

  • Publication number: 20190128538
    Abstract: Embodiments of a wind guard system for blocking a cross-wind from flowing through a gap defined between a griddle and a cooking station. The wind guard system includes multiple wind guard members each having a shield portion and a hook portion, the hook portion extending from an upper end portion of the shield portion. The hook portion is sized and configured to be positioned to removably hang over a top edge of upstanding walls of the griddle member so that a height of the shield portion extends downward to cover the gap defined between an underside of the griddle member and the upper side of the cooking station to at least partially prevent wind from moving through the gap.

  • Publication number: 20180220845
    Abstract: A side shelf system configured to couple to a portable cooking station. The side shelf system includes a side shelf and a cutting board. The side shelf includes an upper surface that defines a rectangular opening therein. The side shelf includes at least two extensions that extend from the opening, each extension having a ledge. The cutting board is sized to be positioned in the rectangular opening, the cutting board having an upward facing surface with a through hole defined therein. The cutting board includes a depth such that, upon positioning the cutting board over the ledge, the upward facing surface of the cutting board is substantially flush with the upper surface of the side shelf.

  • Publication number: 20180199758
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for baking a food product in a portable baking oven. The baking oven includes a main body, lower and upper stones, a heat shield suspending the upper stone above the lower stone, and a heat element emanating heat upward to a rotating flat panel having the lower stone thereon. Convection heat from the heat element moves upward from below the rotating flat panel and past a periphery of the flat panel, channeled by the heat shield to the upper stone, to move along the upper stone, and then down along the heat shield, on the opposite side. With this arrangement, the heat element heats the upper and lower stones with convection heat moving between the lower and upper stones in a side-to-side manner.

  • Publication number: 20170332839
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for maintaining convection heat within a heating region of a griddle and channeling the convection heat therefrom. The griddle includes a ribbing structure along its underside surface in a configuration that cooperates with the burners of a cooking station. Such ribbing structure allows a user to control the convective heating of the griddle as desired and channels the convective heat to a single side of the griddle, away from the user.

  • Patent number: 6817968
    Abstract: An exercise machine includes a longitudinal rail for slidably supporting a carriage assembly together with the weight of a user. The longitudinal rail is supported at an elevation above a support surface by a fore support structure positioned at the fore end of the rail and by an aft support structure positioned at the aft end of the rail. A carriage assembly slidably engages the rail structure and supports the weight of a user on the rail structure. The carriage assembly includes roller wheels for rolling engagement with the rail. A lever is pivotally connected to the rail and enables a user to operate the exercise machine. The lever has a hand grip assembly at one end and a foot grip assembly at the other end. A resistance structure is connected to and positioned between the fore end of the rail and the carriage assembly and provides resistance to translational movement of the carriage assembly and pivotal movement of the lever.
