A method of operating and controlling a grill includes the steps of activating a master control to connect a heat control system of the grill with an external source of energy, and determining whether an element or burner control is an “on” position. If the determination confirms that an element or burner control is in an “on” position, a visual indication is provided to identify the particular element or burner control that is in the “on” position. If the determination confirms that an element or burner control is in an “on” position, activation of an associated heating element or burner is prohibited.
A control system for a fuel-burning appliance such as a wood or pellet burning stove may include a particulate matter sensor. The control system may also include an ignition system to ignite an ignition charge of ignitable fuel. A processor controls the operation of the functional components of the appliance to maintain operating conditions within pre-determined parameters.

Low profile termination cap for direct vent appliance
A termination cap for a direct vent appliance. The termination cap comprises an outer housing, an exhaust housing nested within the outer housing and a trim plate. The trim plate has an exhaust gas opening and combustion air openings and is securable to the exhaust body to allow exhaust gas to flow through the exhaust gas opening. At least a portion of the combustion air drawn through the combustion air openings is heated and exits through the top or upper portion of the trim plate to form an air wash along the wall surface within which the cap is mounted.

Apparatus for igniting a burner of a barbeque includes a housing, a mesh, an orifice, a pair of conductors and a generator. The housing defines a conduit having an inlet and an outlet spaced apart from the inlet. The mesh occludes the conduit and is positioned adjacent the outlet. The orifice is for receiving combustible gas and communicates with the inlet. The pair of conductors define a gap, the gap being positioned such that the gap is disposed in spaced relation to the mesh and the mesh is disposed intermediate the orifice and the gap. The generator is for producing a spark across the gap.

System and method to cool an exposed surface of an appliance
An appliance comprising a firebox, a first air duct and a room air chimney. During operation of the appliance heated room air adjacent to a viewing pane or the screen and heated room air from the first air duct is received within the chimney. The heated air within the chimney rises toward an open upper end causing the chimney to draw additional room air from adjacent to the viewing pane or screen.

A simulated flame mechanism comprising two or more projection surfaces and one or more flicker effects transmitting light onto the two or more projection surfaces. The projection surfaces are spaced apart and oriented relative to each other by one or more of (i) different elevations, (ii) different angular orientations in a horizontal plane, and (iii) different orientations in a vertical plane. The flicker elements generating the image of a simulated flame on the projection surfaces. The spacing and orientation of the two or more projection surfaces relative to each other creates a three-dimensional flame appearance when light from the one or more flicker effects is transmitted thereto.
