Abstract
An appliance includes a chassis, a griddle body coupled to the chassis, a burner assembly coupled to the chassis, and a sensor coupled to the chassis. The burner assembly is positioned below the griddle body and is spaced away from the griddle body. The burner assembly includes a burner tube coupled to the chassis and a burner body coupled to the burner tube. The burner body has a burner body first end and a burner body second end. The burner body defines an burner aperture positioned between the burner body first end and the burner body second end. The sensor extends axially through the burner aperture such that a distal end of the sensor is positioned proximate the griddle body.
