Abstract:
1. An appliance comprising: a burner; a compressor for supplying pressurized air to the burner in order to create a low pressure area for siphoning fuel to the burner; a flame sensor for sensing the presence or absence of a flame in the burner; a temperature sensor for sensing an actual temperature of the appliance; a controller in communication with the temperature sensor, the controller shutting-off the compressor and overriding the flame sensor such that the appliance acts as if a flame is present when the temperature sensor senses that the actual temperature of the appliance is greater than a maximum threshold temperature, the controller starting-up the compressor and overriding the flame sensor such that the appliance acts as if a flame is absent when the temperature sensor senses that the actual temperature of the appliance is less than a minimum threshold temperature; and a control panel in communication with the controller, the control panel having an input control mechanism for inputting a desired set temperature point into the controller and a display for displaying the actual temperature of the appliance and the set temperature point, wherein the set temperature point is greater than the minimum threshold temperature and the set temperature point is less than the maximum threshold temperature.
