Abstract
A manifold for a grill may include a first and a second arm. The first arm is configured to be positioned on a first side of a grilling area of the grill and the second arm is configured to be positioned on a second side of the grilling area of the grill that is opposite to the first side of the grilling area. The first arm is configured to receive heat originating from a heat source of the grill and to provide an air flow for the heat through an interior passageway of the first arm and out of a plurality of apertures of the first arm. The second arm is configured to receive heat originating from the heat source of the grill and provide an air flow for the heat through an interior passageway of the second arm and out of the plurality of apertures of the second arm.

A manifold for a grill comprising:
- a base defining an interior passageway, the base comprising a first open end, a second open end, and a third open end, each of which are in communication with the interior passageway of the base;
- a first arm defining an interior passageway and a plurality of apertures on a side of the first arm that are in communication with the interior passageway of the first arm, wherein the first arm is connected to the first open end of the base such that the interior passageway of the first arm is in communication with the interior passageway of the base;
- and
- a second arm defining an interior passageway and defining a plurality of apertures on a side of the second arm that are in communication with the interior passageway of the second arm, wherein the second arm is connected to the second open end of the base such that the interior passageway of the second arm is in communication with the interior passageway of the base;
- wherein the manifold is configured such that at least the first arm and the second arm are positioned below a cooking surface of the grill;
