Abstract:
1. A radiant heat deflector assembly for radiating heat on a surface, said assembly comprising: (a) a radiant heat source radiating direct emissions; and (b) at least one radiant heat deflector spaced from the heat source; and (c) wherein said heat source is so positioned and configured to include radiating direct emissions onto said deflector, said deflector being so positioned, configured and sized as to reflect radiant emissions onto a surface thereby heating the surface; (d) characterized in that said heat source includes an emitter for producing the radiant emissions as direct radiant emissions, the emitter adapted to produce useful emissions from a top surface and a bottom surface of the emitter, the heat source further including vertically underneath said bottom surface, a burner for producing a flame for heating the emitter located above the flame, and (e) wherein the top surface is one side of the emitter and the bottom surface is the other side of the emitter such that the top surface is oriented to radiate useful emissions towards the deflector and the bottom surface is oriented to radiate useful emissions directly toward the surface to be heated.
