Abstract
A recreational vehicle having a kitchen area with a stove. The stove includes a stove top surface with an opening in the stove top surface. A burner assembly extends through the opening in the stove top surface. The burner assembly includes a flammable gas supply post and a sparker configured to ignite flammable gas exiting the flammable gas supply post. A gap area extends between a peripheral edge of the opening and an outer periphery of the burner assembly. A metal burner shield is positioned to cover the gap area, with the metal burner shield including a hole for accepting the at least one burner assembly through the hole. The metal burner shield prevents viewing of internal components of the stove through the gap area and reflects heat from the at least one burner assembly upward.

A recreational vehicle comprising:
- a movable body having at least one wheel for moving the recreational vehicle;
- the movable body including a kitchen area having a stove;
- the stove including a stove top surface with at least one opening in the stove top surface;
- at least one burner assembly, each at least one burner assembly extending through one of the at least one opening in the stove top surface, each at least one burner assembly including a flammable gas supply post and a sparker configured to ignite flammable gas exiting the flammable gas supply post;
- a gap area extending between a peripheral edge of each of the at least one opening and an outer periphery of the at least one burner assembly;
- and
- a metal burner shield positioned to cover the gap area, the metal burner shield including a hole for accepting the at least one burner assembly through the hole;
- wherein the metal burner shield prevents viewing of internal components of the stove through the gap area and reflects heat from the at least one burner assembly upward;
- and
- wherein the hole has a tear drop shape including a globular form at one side with the flammable gas supply post extending therethrough and tapering to a point having the sparker extending therethrough.
A stove for a recreational vehicle, the stove comprising:
- a stove top surface with a circular opening in the stove top surface;
- a burner assembly extending through the circular opening in the stove top surface, the burner assembly including a flammable gas supply post and a sparker located adjacent to the flammable gas supply post and configured to ignite flammable gas exiting the flammable gas supply post;
- a gap area extending between a peripheral edge of the circular opening and an outer periphery of the burner assembly;
- and
- a metal burner shield positioned to cover the gap area, the metal burner shield including a hole for accepting the burner assembly through the hole;
- wherein the metal burner shield prevents viewing of internal components of the stove through the gap area and reflects heat from the burner assembly upward;
- and
- wherein the burner assembly includes a top plate magnetically coupled to a top of the flammable gas supply post.
A method of adding a burner shield to a stove of a recreational vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing the recreational vehicle with a kitchen area having a stove;
- providing the stove with a stove top surface having a circular opening in the stove top surface and a burner assembly extending through the circular opening in the stove top surface, with the burner assembly including a flammable gas supply post and a sparker configured to ignite flammable gas exiting the flammable gas supply post;
- providing a gap area extending between a peripheral edge of the circular opening and an outer periphery of the burner assembly;
- providing a metal burner shield having a hole;
- inserting the burner assembly through the hole in the metal burner shield;
- and
- covering the gap area with the metal burner shield to prevent viewing of internal components of the stove through the gap area;
- wherein the burner assembly includes a top plate magnetically coupled to a top of the flammable gas supply post.
