Abstract
A portable, gas fired Wok stove adapted particularly for outdoor cooking includes a vertically mounted outer cylinder. A heating chamber is suspended within the interior of the outer cylinder. One end of the heating chamber is open. A burner is carried in the other end of the heating chamber in substantial alignment with the heating chamber open end. A fuel system is carried in the interior of the outer cylinder nestled underneath the heating chamber. The Wok is supported in confronting alignment with the heating chamber open end such that the flow of high temperature gas exiting therethrough impinges on the Wok bottom evenly heating same. The outer cylinder and internally carried heating chamber coact to make the stove relatively insensitive to wind.
Claims18
A portable, gas fired stove adapted particularly for heating a Wok including a vertically mounted outer cylinder having the upper end open, an annular collar adapted to detachably mount on the open end of said outer cylinder, said collar being formed with a relatively large aperture, a heating chamber generally of cylindrical shape and positioned within the interior of said outer cylinder, said heating chamber having one end open, the open end of said heating chamber being sized substantially complementary to said collar aperture and substantially axially aligned therewith, said heating chamber being detachably carried by said collar in such manner as to depend into the interior of said outer cylinder with the open end of said heating chamber being substantially in the plane of said collar, burner means mounted in said heating chamber such that the last-mentioned means is spaced from said collar aperture and substantially axially aligned therewith, and means for supporting the Wok substantially in alignment with said collar aperture and spaced therefrom whereby the high temperature gas exiting therethrough evenly heats the Wok bottom.
A portable, gas fired stove adapted particularly for Wok cooking including in combination an outer shield generally of cylindrical shape and mounted vertically, the upper end of said shield being open, an annular collar formed with a central aperture and adaped to mount on the open end of said shield, said collar aperture being defined by an annular lip, a heating chamber generally cylindrical in shape and having one end open, said heating chamber adapted to detachably mount on said collar such that the peripheral region of said heating chamber defining said open end thereof is caused to react on said aperture-defining lip thereby to orient said heating chamber depending into the interior of said shield, burner means carried in the other end of said heating chamber thereby to space said burner means from said collar aperture, and means for supporting the Wok such that the Wok bottom confronts said collar aperture and is spaced therefrom whereby the flow of high temperature gas egressing said collar aperture impinges on the Wok bottom to evenly heat same.
