Abstract: A barbecue device to prolong fuel burning comprising a plurality of vertical walls that are cut from an elongate strip such that they provide fuel containment and air openings without removing or discarding any material needed to provide said air openings for the fuel.

Abstract: A wood-burning stove includes side-walls joined together in an airtight manner to form a firebox and a heat chamber there above. The firebox in this wood-burning stove is a drawer on rollers/sliders and pulls out for ease of placing fuel exactly where the operator wants it and severely decreases the risk of injury or burning. This is accomplished by not having to place the fuel into the enclosed cavity of the wood-burning stove increasing risk of injury and decreasing the accuracy of where you would like to place the fuel in the firebox. In addition there are knobs that control the airflow into the firebox that controls the combustion giving the operator control over the temperature in the firebox and allows the fuel to burn more efficiently.

Abstract: Provided is a cooking grate for improving cooking performance on an outdoor cooking grill. The cooking grate has a metallic plate, configured to be placed over a heat source in the outdoor cooking grill, where the metallic plate has a plurality of perforation holes. The cooking grate further includes a plurality of cooking surface ribs, configured to support food during cooking and positioned above the metallic plate. Also provided are methods of providing an improved cooking grate for an outdoor cooking grill including the steps of: perforating a metallic plate, configured to be positioned above a heat source on the outdoor cooking grill; forming a plurality of cooking surface ribs, configured to receive food to be cooked thereon.

Abstract: An accessory for a barbecue includes a plurality of frames which are arranged in vertically spaced apart relationship and form an array having an outer perimeter and a central cavity. The array is placed on the solid fuel support of the barbecue, and solid fuel such as charcoal is placed around the outer perimeter of the array. The accessory has a base upon which a container is placed to collect juices from the cooking food.

Abstract: A fire grate assembly for stoker incinerators. A plurality of stationary and movable grate members are alternately arranged in the assembly. The assembly also has a preventing member, such as a liner plate, which is detachably mounted to an end of each of the movable grate members for preventing the stationary grate members and the movable grate members from directly contacting each other, while allowing the movable grate members to be linearly movable relative to the stationary grate members. The preventing member is replaceable and can have a countersunk hole, thus being adapted for bolting the end of each of the movable grate members.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for use as a grate clip on a traveling stoker grate assembly in a furnace or incinerator. The grate clip apparatus includes a sloping profile along a significant portion of its underside so as to prevent the build-up of ash, fuel and metallic deposits on the grate clip as it traverses a return loop.

Abstract: Freestanding fireplace grates of different lengths are assembled from a kit that has a set of U-shaped bars of the same size and shape and a set of nuts and bolts. The assembled grates have a center module interfitted between two side modules. The modules are formed of the U-shaped bars.

Abstract: The invention concerns a grate bar for a grate tumbler of a tumbler grate of a trash incineration installation or similar combustion facility with a base rod showing an outer rod surface and an inner rod surface, as well as side surfaces, a head surface and a foot surface, the cross-section form being T-shaped with a cross rod (15). The invention also concerns a grate tumbler for the tumbler grate of a trash incineration installation or the like with a hollow shaft and a cylindrical carrier construction, with grate-bar carriers resting upon the carrier construction and grate bars mounted upon the carriers, while the grate bars are mounted upon the grate bar carriers (8) in such fashion that the slit (25) between adjacent grate bars (11) is no greater than 1 mm in width on the combustion-chamber side.

Abstract: A furnace for burning dry or wet wood waste products such as hogged bark and the like is provided with a grating therein comprised of aligned rows of bricks resting on supporting cross beams, with at least some of the rows of bricks maintained a uniform distance from other rows of bricks by spacers disposed between such spaced-apart rows of bricks. The furnace is charged by turbulent air entering both above and below the grating, with a select portion of such air being pre-heated. A temperature gradient is established between an area immediately beneath the grating and the area above the grating in the range of 2200.degree. F. and can be controlled by selected initial placement of the bricks and spacers to achieve an optimum cross sectional area for flow of heated, turbulent air through the grating to produce a temperature for efficient heating, drying and burning of wood waste products in an essentially pollution-free manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to air-cooled grate bars, in particular for mechanically conveying mechanical grates such as pivot step grates, comprising a cap of U-shape which is provided over the respective grate bar and is in particular welded on and which forms with the grate bar disposed therebelow passages extending longitudinally of the grate bar, the cap being led at the bearing-side end of the grate bar up to shortly before the curvature end and the cap and thus the passages being in each case sealed at the end face at the curved cap end.

Abstract: Grate bars for the support of floor plates over which combustible material is advanced through a combustion furnace, in which the grate bars are in the form of elongate members arranged in side-by-side relation with alternate bars being movable endwise with means for vertical movement relative to adjacent stationary bars to define walking beams for advancement of the material through the furnace, in which the grate bars are formed of the three elongated rod-like members in triangular arrangement and interconnected by longitudinally spaced bulkheads which support the floor plates.
