Abstract

13,145. Harris, A. E. June 27. Gas &c. grilling and cooking stoves. -Grilling or co king apparatus is provided with a pair, or series cf ptirs, of radiating- plates heated by gas, electricity, &c., so that meat &c. supported between the plates is cooked on both sides at once. Apparatus with two cooking-spaces is shown in vertical section in Fig. 5. Perforated radiating-plates f are heated by gas burners h and enclosed in a casing a. Air is supplied to the burners h through apertures a', a<2> in the casing and plates f respectively. The top of the casing is provided with dampers d, and also with apertures for thermometers (not shown). Removable front portions of the casing (not shown) are provided with air inlets at the bottoms, and are attached to wirework plates or grills i pivoted and clipped together. Drip trays k are separate from, or attached to, the removable fronts. In a modification, the burners and radiating-plates are rendered adjustable by screwthreading the gas-supply pipes and providing rotating nuts held against longitudinal movement. In another modification, shown in Fig. 7, the sides of the casing a and the plates f and burners hare adapted to be turned into the horizontal position, to form a hot-plate for boiling &c., as shown in dotted lines, by mounting the gas-supply pipes in bearings o. In some cases, the cooking chamber is elongated and the food traversed, a suitable arrangement consisting of two concentric radiating- plates and an annular rotating table for carrying a series of trays and grills between the plates. Incombustible incandescent fuel may be used in the burner compartments, or combustible fuel may be used, in which case two or more fuel compartments are arranged to be closed together to appear as a single fire when not required for cooking. Liquid fuel is mentioned in the Provisional Specification.
