Abstract
A portable heating device is provided that generally consists of an upper housing having a plurality of openings that allow heat to escape from a coiled infrared heating tube that generates radiant heat. The portable heating device also includes an upper surface with an opening that produces a visible flame and conductive heat. The upper surface is also associated with a flame burner that feeds a cooking surface.
Claims18
A portable heating device comprising:
- a tube heater comprised of a curled heating tube having a first end accommodating a burner system and a second end, the curled heating tube defining an inner extent of the tube heater;
- a reflector positioned within the inner extent of the tube heater;
- a flame burner positioned above the tube heater;
- wherein the burner system comprises a venturi with a gas jet at one end and a mesh burner at the other end, wherein fuel exiting the gas jet is accelerated through the venturi, thereby pulling in air through at least one opening in the burner system that is mixed with the fuel to create a fuel/air mixture that is ignited by the mesh burner;
- and
- wherein the mesh burner is comprised of six perforated layers, wherein each layer is rotated 15° from its neighboring layer to create a non-linear path through the mesh burner.
