Removable Grill Oven with Perforated Diffuser for Heat Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Consumer ovens are unable to achieve high temperatures like commercial ovens, and existing outdoor grill solutions lack efficient heat control and uniformity, leading to uneven cooking.
Innovation Solution
A removable oven with a high-temperature housing and adjustable components, including a perforated diffuser pan and chimney, allows for precise control of heat flow and temperature distribution using a sliding shutter and adjustable stands, enabling even cooking on a grill.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If a baffle is used to control heat in the cooking chamber, then heat direction is improved, but heat control efficiency deteriorates due to always open chamber
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the baffle component from the cooking chamber and relocates it to the chimney structure. This allows the baffle to control heat direction in the upper chamber without interfering with the lower cooking chamber's heat retention, resolving the contradiction between heat direction control and heat retention efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The chimney acts as an intermediary structure that mediates between the heat source and the upper cooking chamber. By placing the baffle in the chimney, it controls heat flow to the upper chamber independently from the lower chamber, allowing simultaneous optimization of both heat direction and retention
2Ease of operation
If the cooking chamber is always open for easy food access, then ease of operation is improved, but heat field consistency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the cooking chamber into two distinct zones: a lower open cooking chamber for food placement and an upper enclosed chamber for heat distribution. This segmentation allows the lower chamber to remain accessible while the upper chamber maintains consistent heat field through enclosure and baffle control
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides efficient, cost-effective, and skill-free operation of a grill oven that can achieve high temperatures with controlled heat distribution, ensuring even cooking without overheating the cooking surface.
Implementation Method 1
A sliding shutter fixed adjacent to the perforated diffuser pan allows a user to block or alter the flow of heated air through the perforated diffuser pan
Implementation Method 2
A chimney connected to the cooking chamber further controls the heat within the cooking chamber
Implementation Method 3
The cooking plate can be variably positioned above the perforated diffuser pan by at least one adjustable stand thereby altering the distance between the pan

AI summary
A removable oven for use on a cooking grill including a cooking chamber formed in a high temperature housing with an open bottom. The open bottom of the high temperature housing fits over a cooking plate positioned over a shutterable perforated diffuser place on the grill. A segmented chimney connected to the cooking chamber further controls the heat in the cooking chamber.
