Atmospheric rotisserie burner with convection heating
First Claim
1. A device for cooking food, said device comprising:
- a cooking cavity, wherein the cavity is defined by a front wall, a back wall that opposes the front wall, two opposing side walls, a ceiling, and a floor that opposes the ceiling;
a substrate for supporting a food item, the substrate substantially enclosed by the cavity;
an air deflector panel spanning between the two opposing side walls, said air deflector panel comprising a first segment proximal to the back wall, a second segment proximal to the ceiling, and at least one angled segment that joins the first segment and the second segment;
a webbing defining a plurality of apertures positioned proximal to but medially displaced from the air deflector panel, wherein the webbing spans between the two side walls and extends from the floor, and wherein the webbing comprises a first region that is parallel to the first segment of the air deflector panel, a second region that is parallel to at least a portion of the angled segment of the air deflector panel, and;
an open flame heating element located between the air deflector panel and the webbing; and
at least one air movement device located proximal to a region in which the front wall and ceiling intersect.
