Abstract
A grill and a burner assembly therefor. The burner assembly utilizes a V-shaped firebox having a V-shaped combustion chamber containment wall, which defines a combustion chamber of significantly reduced volume. The burner assembly can also have a V-shaped outer insulating wall which is positioned outside of the combustion chamber containment wall such that an insulating gap is formed between the inner V-shaped wall and the outer V-shaped wall. A burner element preferably extends longitudinally within the combustion chamber of the firebox above the bottom of the V-shaped combustion chamber containment wall.
Claims25
A grill comprising:
- a housing having an interior wall which surrounds an interior of said housing and
- a plurality of substantially parallel adjacent burner assemblies in said interior of said housing wherein each of said burner assemblies comprises:
- (a) a firebox comprising a longitudinally extending combustion chamber containment wall which is positioned within and different from said interior wall of said housing and which defines a combustion chamber therein, said combustion chamber containment wall having a substantially V-shaped cross-section, said combustion chamber containment wall having an upper discharge opening, and said combustion chamber containment wall further comprising:
- a longitudinally extending bottom spaced above and different from an interior bottom of said housing,
- a longitudinally extending left side, and
- a longitudinally extending right side,
- wherein, as viewed in said substantially V-shaped cross-section of said combustion chamber containment wall, said left and said right sides extend upwardly from said bottom of said combustion chamber containment wall to said upper discharge opening, said left and said right sides also diverge outwardly from, or proximately from, said bottom of said combustion chamber containment wall to, or proximately to, said upper discharge opening of said combustion chamber containment wall, and said left and said right sides have lower ends at said bottom of said combustion chamber containment wall which are located at a shared point or are not more than ½ inch apart and
- (b) a burner element extending longitudinally in said combustion chamber above said longitudinally extending bottom of said combustion chamber containment wall and above said lower ends of said left and said right sides, said burner element having one or more discharge ports for delivering a fuel or a fuel air mixture into said combustion chamber.
