Abstract
Example dual-burner assemblies for cookboxes of gas grills are disclosed. An example dual-burner assembly includes a first burner tube and a second burner tube. The first burner tube has a first maximum heat output. The second burner tube has a second maximum heat output. The second burner tube is spaced apart from the first burner tube by a distance of no more than 0.750 inches. The second maximum heat output is less than the first maximum heat output.
Claims23
A dual-burner assembly for a cookbox of a gas grill, the dual-burner assembly comprising:
- a first burner tube having a first maximum heat output, the first burner tube defining a first body, the first body defining a first longitudinal axis between a first end of the first body and a second end of the first body opposite the first end, the first end of the first body to couple to a first wall of the cookbox and the second end of the first body to couple to a second wall of the cookbox opposite the first wall;
- and
- a second burner tube having a second maximum heat output, the second burner tube defining a second body that is separate from the first body, the second body defining a second longitudinal axis between a third end of the second body and a fourth end of the second body opposite the third end, the third end of the second body to couple to the first wall of the cookbox and the fourth end of the second body to couple to the second wall of the cookbox opposite the first wall, the first body of the first burner tube spaced apart from the second body of the second burner tube by a distance of no more than 0.750 inches, the second maximum heat output being less than the first maximum heat output.
A dual-burner assembly for a cookbox of a gas grill, the dual-burner assembly comprising:
- a first burner tube having a first maximum heat output;
- and
- a second burner tube having a second maximum heat output, the second burner tube spaced apart from the first burner tube by a distance of no more than 0.750 inches, the second maximum heat output being less than the first maximum heat output, the dual-burner assembly has a width measured across the first burner tube and the second burner tube, the width of the dual-burner assembly being no more than 2.0 inches, the dual-burner assembly configured to be positioned below a grease deflection bar, the grease deflection bar having a width greater than the width of the dual-burner assembly, and wherein the first burner tube includes ports configured to emit flames from the first burner tube, the second burner tube includes ports configured to emit flames from the second burner tube, and the grease deflection bar is configured to cover the ports of the first burner tube and the ports of the second burner tube.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a cookbox of a gas grill;
- a dual-burner assembly coupled to the cookbox, the dual-burner assembly including:
- a first burner tube having a first maximum heat output;
- and
- a second burner tube having a second maximum heat output, the first burner tube and the second burner tube are positioned in a side-by-side parallel arrangement relative to one another, the second burner tube spaced apart from the first burner tube by a distance of no more than 0.750 inches, the second maximum heat output being less than the first maximum heat output.
