Abstract
A modular outdoor fireplace and brick oven system is configured to be easily transportable and assembled. The modular system has a chimney unit and at least one modular unit. The modular unit may be one of an oven unit and a fireplace unit. The chimney unit and at least one modular unit are uniquely aligned using a plurality of alignment means. The alignment means are disposed between the assembled units on a top surface and a bottom surface of each modular unit and the chimney unit. The modular units are designed to allow airflow from each modular unit to reach the chimney unit. The modular units may further have lifting holes designed to easily move the modular units or assembled system with a forklift, lifting straps, and slings.
Claims20
A modular system, comprising:
- a first modular unit including a main body with a top surface, the top surface having first alignment means, wherein the first modular unit is at least one of a fireplace unit and an oven unit;
- and
- a chimney unit disposed atop the first modular unit, the chimney unit having a bottom surface with second alignment means, the first alignment means of the first modular unit cooperating with the second alignment means of the chimney unit and holding the chimney unit in a predetermined aligned position relative to the first modular unit.
ular system of claim 6, wherein the first distance is about ⅜″.
A modular system kit comprising:
- a first modular unit including a main body with a top surface, the top surface having first alignment means, wherein the first modular unit is at least one of a fireplace unit and an oven unit;
- and
- a chimney unit configured to be disposed atop the first modular unit, the chimney unit having a bottom surface with second alignment means, the first alignment means of the first modular unit configured for cooperating with the second alignment means of the chimney unit and holding the chimney unit in a predetermined aligned position relative to the first modular unit.
A method of forming a modular system, comprising:
- providing a first modular unit including a main body with a top surface, the top surface having first alignment means, wherein the first modular unit is at least one of a fireplace unit and an oven unit;
- providing a chimney unit configured to be disposed atop the first modular unit, the chimney unit having a top surface with a chimney vent formed therethrough, and a bottom surface with second alignment means, the first alignment means of the first modular unit configured for cooperating with the second alignment means of the chimney unit and configured for holding the chimney unit in a predetermined aligned position relative to the first modular unit;
- applying a backerboard to the top surface of the chimney unit;
- aligning the first alignment means of the first modular unit with the second alignment means of the chimney unit;
- and
- disposing the chimney unit on the top surface of the modular unit in the predetermined aligned position, whereby the first alignment means of the first modular unit cooperate with the second alignment means of the chimney unit, thereby forming the modular system.
