Abstract:
1. A burner plate assembly comprising: a first, open-faced parallelepiped formed from wire mesh, the first open-faced parallelepiped having a first major face, four sides and an open second face that opposes the first major face, the four sides being substantially orthogonal to the major faces and having a first height dimension, which determines a first separation distance between the first and second major faces, first and second ones of the four sides being opposite each other and having a first length, third and fourth ones of the four sides being opposite each other and substantially orthogonal to the first and second sides, and having a second length, the first open-faced parallelepiped having a first parallelepiped length defined by the first length, a first parallelepiped width defined by the second length, and having a first parallelepiped height defined by the distance between the first and second major faces; a second open-faced parallelepiped formed from wire mesh, the second open-faced parallelepiped having a first major face, four sides and an open second face that opposes the first major face, the four sides being substantially orthogonal to the major faces and having a second height dimension, which determines a second separation distance between the first and second major faces, first and second ones of the four sides of the second, open-faced parallelepiped being opposite each other and having a third length, which is less than the first length, third and fourth ones of the four sides of the second, open-faced parallelepiped being opposite each other and substantially orthogonal to the first and second sides of the second, open-faced parallelepiped and having a fourth length, which is less than the second length, the second, open-faced parallelepiped having a second parallelepiped length defined by the third length, a second parallelepiped width defined by the fourth length, and a second parallelepiped height defined by the distance between the first and second major faces of the second, open-faced parallelepiped, the second open-faced parallelepiped being nested within the first open-faced parallelepiped such that the open face of the second open-faced parallelepiped is within and adjacent the first major face of the first open-faced parallelepiped; a third open-faced parallelepiped, substantially identical to the first open-faced parallelepiped such that it has a first parallelepiped height, first parallelepiped length and a first parallelepiped width, the third, open-faced parallelepiped being interlocked with the nested first and second open-faced parallelepipeds by the engagement of a first one of the four sides of the third open-faced parallelepiped, between corresponding ones of the sides of the nested, first and second open-faced parallelepipeds.
