Abstract:
1. A multiple burner assembly comprising: a first burner having a first gas supply to a first chamber defined in part by a first wall and a first removable cap, and a plurality of flame ports located about a portion of a perimeter of the wall of the first burner with said cap extending cantileveredly beyond the first wall and first chamber and over the plurality of flame ports; a second burner proximate to the first burner having a second gas supply to a second chamber defined in part by a second wall and a removable second cap, and a plurality of flame ports located about a portion of a perimeter of the wall of the second burner with said cap extending cantileveredly beyond the second wall and second chamber and over the plurality of flame ports, said second burner non-concentrically located relative to the first burner; and a third burner proximate to the second burner having a third gas supply to a third chamber defined in part by a third wall and a third removable cap, and a plurality of flame ports located about a portion of a perimeter of the wall of the third burner with said cap extending cantileveredly beyond the third wall and third chamber and over the plurality of flame ports, said third burner non-concentrically located relative to the first and second burners; said second burner being intermediate the first and third burners wherein when the first, second and third burners are lit, at least a substantial portion of the flame ports of the first, second and third burners cooperate to form a substantially continuous flame perimeter about the first, second and third burners with the flame ports of the second burner forming two segments which extend from toward the first to toward the third burners with the two segments spaced apart from each other by the cap of the second burner; wherein the first and second burners meet at a first baffle, the first and second caps extend over and abut atop a first retaining ridge on the first baffle, the second and third burners meet at a second baffle and the second and third caps extend over and abut atop a second retaining ridge on the second baffle with said first, second and third caps providing a larger perimeter than a perimeter of the flame ports of the first, second and third flame ports.
