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.
Claims19
A side shelf system configured to be associated with a waste bag, the side shelf system for coupling to a frame structure a portable outdoor cooking station, the side shelf system comprising:
- a side shelf configured to be coupled to the cooking station, the side shelf including an upper flat surface that defines a rectangular opening therein, the rectangular opening defining four sides, the four sides including at least two extensions that extend downward from the rectangular opening, the at least two extensions having a ledge at a lower end of the at least two extensions, the ledge extending inward relative to the rectangular opening;
- a cutting board sized and configured to be positioned in the rectangular opening, the cutting board having an upward facing surface with a through hole defined therein, the through hole being surrounded by the cutting board, the cutting board having 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 flat surface of the side shelf;
- and
- multiple hook structures configured to be operatively coupled to the frame structure of the portable outdoor cooking station and extending below the side shelf, the multiple hook structures sized and configured to hold the waste bag directly below the through hole of the cutting board such that the through hole is sized and positioned for receiving waste to be passed therethrough so that the waste falls into the waste bag held by the hook structures.
A portable outdoor cooking station for managing waste with a waste bag associated therewith, the portable outdoor cooking station comprising:
- a main body with a frame structure, the main body configured to hold heating element structure therewith, the main body having at least two wheels at a base of the main body to facilitate portability of the main body;
- and
- a side shelf system including:
- a side shelf configured to be coupled to the frame structure of the main body, the side shelf including an upper flat surface that defines a rectangular opening therein, the rectangular opening defining four sides, the four sides including at least two extensions that extend downward from the rectangular opening, the at least two extensions having a ledge at a lower end of the at least two extensions, the ledge extending inward relative to the rectangular opening;
- a cutting board sized and configured to be positioned in the rectangular opening, the cutting board having an upward facing surface with a through hole defined therein, the through hole being surrounded by the cutting board, the cutting board having 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 flat surface of the side shelf;
- and
- multiple hook structures operatively coupled to the frame structure and extending below the side shelf, the multiple hook structures sized and configured to hold the waste bag directly below the through hole of the cutting board such that the through hole is sized and positioned for receiving waste to be passed therethrough so that the waste falls into the waste bag held by the hook structures.
A portable outdoor cooking station for managing waste with a waste bag associated therewith, the portable outdoor cooking station comprising:
- a main body with a frame structure, the main body having a front panel with oppositely positioned first and second panels positioned over the frame structure, the main body having at least two legs with a wheel at an end thereof to facilitate portability of the main body, the front panel having one or more knobs disposed thereon for controlling one or more heating elements within the main body;
- and
- a side shelf system including:
- a side shelf configured to be coupled adjacent the first panel of the main body, the side shelf including an upper flat surface that defines a rectangular opening therein, the rectangular opening defining four sides, the four sides including at least two extensions that extend downward from the rectangular opening, the at least two extensions having a ledge at a lower end of the at least two extensions, the ledge extending inward relative to the rectangular opening;
- a cutting board sized and configured to be positioned in the rectangular opening, the cutting board having an upward facing surface with a through hole defined therein, the through hole being surrounded by the cutting board, the cutting board having 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 flat surface of the side shelf;
- and
- multiple hook structures operatively coupled to the frame structure and extending below the side shelf, the multiple hook structures sized and configured to hold the waste bag directly below the through hole of the cutting board such that the through hole is sized and positioned for receiving waste to be passed therethrough so that the waste falls into the waste bag held by the hook structures.
