Abstract
A barbecue arrangement comprising a barbecue body having a cooking volume, one or more burners positioned to provide heat to the cooking volume; a gas source adapted to supply a gas to the one or more burners, and one or more control means to control the flow of gas from the gas source to the one or more burners producing a flame when the gas is ignited; a flame detection assembly, the flame detection assembly adapted to sense the flame from the one or more burners and a control means adapted to shut off the gas flow to the one or more burners if the flame is not detected within a pre-determined period of time.
Claims8
A barbecue arrangement, comprising:
- a barbecue body having a cooking surface, one or more burners positioned below the cooking surface, and one or more control knobs;
- a gas source adapted to supply a gas to the one or more burners, wherein the one or more control knobs are adapted to control the supply of the gas from the gas source;
- a flame detection assembly comprising:
- a power source;
- an ignition system, wherein the ignition system includes an on/off button in connection with the power source and an electrode ignition rod, wherein the electrode ignition rod is placed in a path of gas flow from the gas source;
- a flame sensor arrangement adapted to sense a flame within a flame location within the one or more burners;
- a microcontroller and a valve arrangement, wherein the microcontroller and the valve arrangement are in communication with the power source, the flame sensor arrangement and the ignition system;
- wherein the microcontroller and the valve arrangement are adapted to cause the valve arrangement to close and prevent supply of the gas flow when the ignition system is in an on position and no flame is detected;
- and
- a flame rollout cut off switch in communication with the microcontroller and the valve arrangement, which is adapted to cause the valve arrangement to close and prevent supply of the gas flow when the ignition system is in an on position and a flame is detected outside the barbecue body.
