Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the metered removal of a fine to coarse-grained solid matter or a solid matter mixture from a storage container, comprising a device for forming a fluidized bed in the discharge region or in a metering chamber of the metering container, wherein fluidization that is as optimal as possible is to be created in the lower region of such a receiving or metering container while avoiding any additional systems, mechanical elements, or extensive installations. This is achieved according to the method in that a gas is additionally introduced in the region of the metering chamber bottom for forming a fluidized bed that loosens the solid matter, and a gas is introduced via swirl nozzles for bringing about the rotation of the fluidized bed.

Abstract: An apparatus preferably holds a bag or charcoal briquettes that are useful for filling and heating a barbecue grill. More specifically, the apparatus holds and/or stores a bag of charcoal and is useful for maintaining charcoal briquettes contained therein dry and for easily dispensing the same upon use. The apparatus may be made from a flexible, watertight material and includes a lid over a top opening for easily dispensing the charcoal briquettes therefrom.

Abstract: A stackable charcoal starter for use in lighting charcoal comprises a base having a continuous wall extending upward therefrom, the wall having a plurality of air inlet openings near its lower end and an opening at its upper end. In a preferred embodiment, the wall extends frusto-conically from a larger upper end to a smaller lower end. A handle assembly located near an upper end of the wall has a first section extending outward from the wall and a second section extending downward from the first section. A shield for protecting a user's hands from the hot surface of the wall extends downward from the first section between the wall and the second section. The first section comprises an aperture of a size sufficient to receive a handle assembly and heat shield of an identical charcoal starter with the result that identical charcoal starters can be stacked on top of one another in close relation.

Abstract: A storage and dispensing cart for receiving, storing, and dispensing charcoal briquettes includes a storage bin member, a storage compartment member and a screening assembly. The screening assembly is disposed within the storage bin member at a lower end to provide a continuous screening of the charcoal dust and small particles, or fines, that are developed when the charcoal briquettes move against each other during filling of the storage bin member or when the briquettes are dispensed. The screening assembly is comprised of a screen mesh that allows the fines and dust to fall to a lower collection chute that gathers and directs the fines and dust into a collection pan that forms a collection repository. The collection pan is removable from the cart so the fines and dusts can be discarded without removing all of the briquettes from the storage bin member.

Abstract: A charcoal dispensing system for storing and dispensing charcoal. The charcoal dispensing system includes a bin member being designed for receiving and storing charcoal. A dispensing assembly is coupled to the bin member. The dispensing assembly is designed for permitting charcoal to be dispensed from the bin member when the dispensing assembly is actuated by the user. A receiving member is selectively coupled to the bin member. The receiving member is in communication with the dispensing assembly whereby the receiving member is designed for receiving the charcoal dispensed by the dispensing assembly. The receiving member is designed for being carried by the user to dispense the charcoal into the grill.

Abstract: A plastic bucket includes at least one undercut adjacent an upper end of the bucket defined by a bucket wall which extends upwardly and inwardly along a diagonal path. An annular, vertical section may be provided at the upper end of the diagonal path. Above the vertical section, the bucket wall extends radially outwardly to create an annular, horizontal flange.

Abstract: A portable, stackable, all-in-one, combustible fuel package composed of a carton without internal structure and containing a fire starting material and charcoal or other combustible material, a one-piece carton blank for forming the carton, and methods of assembling and using the carton and its components to provide a heat source are provided. The carton blank is a simple design for easy assembly of the carton. The container maintains the firestarter separate from the charcoal material and allows direct access to the firestarter for its removal from the container. The carton includes selectively deployable legs structured to raise the carton off of a surface sufficient for placement of the firestarter under the carton and allow air flow to the base of the container to maintain the burning of the firestarter and charcoal material inside the container.

Abstract: A reusable molded plastic container, FIG. 2, which is conveniently shaped for storage and transportation of materials used with a charcoal dependent cooker such as a barbecue, smoker or grill. The container has cover 17f, 17b and 25 which open and close and protect its contents from external elements such as moisture. It also has a handle 20 for carrying and holding while pouring the contents, along with the rear leg 31b which is shaped for gripping while pouring. The container has multiple compartments for containing materials used with out door cooking and these compartments are conformed to resist external elements which may effect the usefulness of the contents. This container is also fitted with latch/lock mechanisms 16f-15f, 16b-15b, 29-26, which hold the covers closed and can be locked by the user if chosen.

Abstract: Paper container device consists of a cuboid container body with a round hole made of aluminium foil paper and a sucking pipette having an extending portion with a sharp end. The round hole is disposed at the uppermost middle portion of the right side of the container body. The upper right folded triangle portion on the upper side is folded down and glued to the surface of the right side. the pipette is partly glued between the right folded triangle portion and the surface of the right side. The pipette together with the triangle portion can be torn apart and its sharp end can pierce through the aluminium foil into the container body for sucking out the drink in it.

Abstract: The invention presented herein consists of an ash receptacle having an internal storage chamber for holding fireplace ashes or the like. A first hingeable door is provided through which ashes can be deposited and a second door is available through which the ashes are removed. An internal baffle is positioned within the housing to prevent dust from escaping through the first door as ashes are being deposited and a slanted rear wall allows the ashes to slide towards the storage chamber.

Abstract: A sheet-metal constructed container to facilitate the removal and disposal of ashes from solid fuel burning stoves and heaters, thereby eliminating dust and spilled ashes.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a coal and ash caddy defined by a container having a plunger plate disposed therewithin having a contour complimental to the inner configuration of the container, a plunger rod connected to the plate extending outwardly through the container terminating in a handle, and a support framework fastened to the container connected to a door on one open end of the caddy so that manipulation of the support frame will cause the door to open and manipulation of the plunger handle will cause the plunger plate to eject a quantity of fuel to be ejected from the container. Similarly, the device can be manipulated to allow the introduction of ashes from a stove or the like whereby the ashes can be removed from the building within which the stove is provided without desiminating ashes in the environment.
