     BACKGROUND 
     1. Field 
     This disclosure relates to tables and accessories and, more particularly, to accessories that can be used on tables with fire pits and/or openings. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     A number of cooking devices, such as barbeque grills, for cooking food are available. Cooking devices provide a heat source to cook the food. The cooking devices can provide the heat source using coals, firewood, natural gas, or electricity (e.g., heat plate, heat coils). Some cooking devices provide a grill over the heat source to cook the food. Some cooking devices provide a plate or pan over the heat source to cook the food. Some cooking devices integrate the grill or plate with the heat source, such as heat coils. 
     A number of fire pit devices are available. Fire pit devices can provide ambient light as well as limited heat for the enjoyment of an observer. Fire pit devices can provide the light and heat source using coals, firewood, natural gas, or electricity. 
     SUMMARY 
     A need exists for cooking devices with a fire pit to provide a versatile fire pit cooking grill assembly for user enjoyment and/or cooking. A fire pit can provide ambient light and/or heat without cooking foods. The fire pit can have a cooking grill that can be removed when food cooking is not desired. A cooking grill can be used to cook food. While cooking food on the cooking grill, the fire pit can continue to provide ambient light and/or heat. The fire pit cooking grill assembly can provide an interactive and social cooking media on a fire pit that is relaxing and entertaining for the parties involved. A fire pit cooking grill can provide a central cooking area that is integral to a tabletop surface where each participant can cook food separately based on individual tastes. Small portions of meats, vegetables, and/or other food items can be provided to the participants who then add their selections to the central cooking area. Each participant seasons and cooks each item to their own tastes. When the food items are cooked, the participants remove them from the cooking area and place them directly on their plates for consumption. 
     The fire pit can have a tabletop. A user, which can include a group of users or a party of users, can use the tabletop as a table for setting items down, including food items, plates, utensil, etc. The user can also use it as a table for eating. Users can sit around the tabletop to cook on the cooking grill while still enjoying the luminescence and/or heat of a fire pit. Using a cooking grill with a fire pit can create a socially interactive cooking experience for the users. The tabletop and/or cooking grill can be a suitable height such that the user can see the food during cooking. The user can see the food while cooking on the cooking grill when standing up, sitting down, or both. A fire pit can serve as a patio or dining table. The cooking grill can be used with the fire pit or dining table. After cooking the food, the user can leave or remove the cooking grill from the fire pit or dining table while enjoying the cooked food at the same table. The user can manipulate controls on the fire pit that increase or decrease the ambient light and/or heat before, during, and after cooking. 
     The cooking grill can at least partially prevent the cooking juices of the food from falling on burning or hot non-disposable (or reusable) media of the fire pit. Burning or hot reusable media can include stones, glass, or other materials suitable that can withstand heat generated by the fire pit. The media can help with radiance of heat as well help provide ambience (luminescence). Cooking juices that buildup on the media may impair the media&#39;s ability to radiate heat and/or provide ambience. Further, preventing juices from falling on the media can help mitigate creating a mess during cooking and facilitate cleanup. Further, preventing juices from falling on the media can help prevent ruining the fire pit. For example, buildup of cooking juices on the burning or hot media may require changing out the burning or hot media. Cooking juices can also build up on the burners of the fire pit, which may require cleaning and/or changing of the burners. The cooking grill can be designed to avoid soot buildup on the cooking grill itself as discussed herein. 
     The cooking grill can have a cooking griddle. The griddle can be made of die cast or stamp-pressed aluminum, including aluminum alloys. Other suitable materials can include any suitable form or alloy of cast or wrought iron or carbon steel or stamped materials. The griddle can be used with metal cooking utensils without substantial damage or abrasion to the griddle. The griddle can have legs that rest around an opening of the fire pit containing the burner and burning or hot media. The griddle can have a middle portion (or cooking section) that slopes downwardly from a center of the griddle or slopes upwardly from a perimeter of the griddle to the center. The center of the cooking griddle can have a center opening. 
     A height of the legs, a slope and/or an arcuate shape of the middle portion, and a diameter of a center opening for the cooking grill can be arranged to achieve the following features. The arrangement can direct air, flame, heat, and/or combustion byproducts to help prevent flame rollout from sides of the cooking griddle during fuel combustion by the fire pit. The arrangement can direct air, flame, heat, and/or combustion byproducts to help prevent soot buildup on the griddle. The arrangement can direct air, flame, heat, and/or combustion byproducts to help create a vacuum that draws in air from the sides of the griddle for combustion by the fire pit. The arrangement can direct air, flame, heat, and/or combustion byproducts to help prevent melting of the griddle material. The arrangement can direct air, flame, heat, and/or combustion byproducts to help direct air, flame, heat, and/or combustion byproducts toward the center opening. The arrangement can make the middle portion of the griddle be the hottest portion of the cooking griddle during combustion of fuel by the fire pit. The heat can thermally conduct and dissipate throughout the griddle to create different heat zones on the griddle. The different heat zones can provide different cooking zones for a desired level of cooking based on a predetermined heat input. 
     The arrangement can create a partial vacuum at the sides of the cooking griddle to draw air in for improved combustion of the fuel by the fire pit. Proper combustion can include a desired flame color, height, and/or no or substantially no smoke. The created vacuum and/or proper combustion can also help prevent flame rollout from the sides of the griddle. Proper combustion can help prevent soot buildup on the griddle. Proper combustion can also help regulate flame color, size, and/or intensity (heat). The vacuum and/or proper combustion can at least in part be a result of the slope and/or the arcuate shape of the middle portion directing the air, flame, heat, and/or combustion byproducts toward the center of the griddle. The vacuum and/or proper combustion can at least in part be a result of the center opening through which air, flame, heat, and/or combustion byproducts can escape. 
     As part of the arrangement, the legs raise the cooking griddle above the opening and the burners of the fire pit. During combustion, heat is directed to the center opening of the griddle by the slope and/or the arcuate shape of the middle portion. The higher the legs raise the cooking griddle from the burners, the smaller the slope or the less arcuate the shape of the middle portion has to be in order to help prevent melting of the griddle and/or rollout of flames from the sides. As the air, heat, and/or combustion products are directed toward and out of the center opening, the flame is channeled toward the center opening to have a peak (highest) flame at the center opening due to an updraft or chimney effect. The updraft or chimney effect can help prevent the cooking griddle from melting and prevent flames from coming out of the sides of the griddle. 
     The griddle can have raised portions and/or recessed portions on the cooking surface. The raised portions and/or recessed portions can help elevate the food above the cooking surface of the griddle. The raised portions and/or recessed portions can help create barbeque sear marks in the food. The raised portions and/or recessed portions can help direct cooking juices toward a periphery or channel of the griddle. The slope and/or the arcuate shape of the middle portion can help direct cooking juices toward the periphery or channel of the cooking griddle. 
     The cooking grill can have a cooking rack. The cooking rack can rest on top of the cooking griddle. The cooking rack can elevate the food above the cooking griddle. The cooking rack can be wire frame structure. The wire frame structure can impart sear marks on the food during cooking and allow cooking juices to fall down onto the griddle below. The cooking grill can be substantially flat. The cooking grill can be sloped and/or follow the contour of the middle portion of the griddle. The cooking grill can have a cover plate arranged to be substantially over the center opening of the griddle. The cover plate can help prevent the cooking juices from dripping onto the burning or hot media through the center opening. The cooking grill can have different cooking zones as discussed herein for the griddle. The cooking zones can get relatively hotter toward the cover plate. The cooking grill can be removed from griddle to help prevent soot buildup on the food when cooking on the cover plate of the cooking rack, near the hottest cooking zone. 
     The cooking grill as discussed herein can be used on a stovetop, such as a commercial grade stovetop or fire pits, such as a propane and/or natural gas, wood, charcoal and/or electric fire pit. The stovetop or fire pit can have a heat output ranging from about 8,000 to about 100,000 BTUs. The foregoing heat output can make the cooking griddle reach temperatures of up to about 800° Fahrenheit. The heat source or flame of the fire pit can be under just a portion of the griddle. The heat can thermally conduct through the griddle, further contributing to the cooking zones discussed herein. The cooking grill can be particularly suitable for use on stovetops and fire pits that are hotter than typical or conventional stovetops or fire pits. Thus, the cooking grills versatility allows it be used over a broad range of cooking applications, including stovetops or fire pits designed to provide fire or light for ambiance that may have higher than typical BTU output. 
     The burner of the fire pit can be a 1 to 16 piece burner. The burner can also be a 6 piece burner. Numerical value of the pieces can represent individual burners of the fire pit that are operably connected. The pieces of the burners can have various shapes such as a star shape with a 5 piece burner or a hexagon with a 6 piece burner (or six arm star burner). The burners can have 3 to 100 combustion holes. In some embodiments, a smaller number of combustion holes in the burner piece directly correlates to relatively larger size of the combustion holes. A greater number of holes, such as 100 holes, in the burner allows for more air to be drawn in at the air intake of the fire pit, creating a more efficient burn. However, a more efficient burn can create less fire light ambiance (visible flame) that is desired from a fire pit flame. A large air intake for the fire pit can be provided to allow for a reduction of the number of combustion holes, such as 60 combustion holes in the burner, to have a more efficient burn of the flame while still providing fire light ambiance. The larger air intake can also create more intuitive control of the fire pit, such as the user turning up the gas to the fire pit to provide a larger flame and a hotter cooking surface without soot buildup. The larger air intake of the fire pit can help prevent soot buildup while cooking over a larger and hotter flame. 
     The fire pit can be designed to burn fuel at a high efficiency to minimize fuel consumption, as well as minimize the formation of byproducts (soot) that have not been fully consumed during the combustion process, which is undesirable and can be toxic to inhale. An inefficient flame can result in the formation of byproducts and black smoke. Byproducts can settle on the cooking grill as soot. An indication of efficient combustion can be the absence of smoke during combustion, a relatively low flame height, and a blue flame, indicating high temperatures, typically in excess of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The fire pit designs disclosed herein can achieve a relatively high yellow luminescent flame while combusting fuel at a high temperature efficiently and cleanly. A high flame height can be about 2 to 8 inches and/or about 1 to 7 inches higher than a tabletop of the fire pit as discussed herein. 
     The fire pit table (or a table that does not necessarily incorporate a fire pit opening) can be adapted to be used with various accessories. For example, as with the cooking grill, the fire pit can be used with an oven. The oven can be, for example, a pizza oven. The oven can be used to also cook other food items normally cooked in a baking oven. The oven can provide conventional baking oven capabilities while enjoying the fire pit in an outdoor environment. The table can also be used with a turntable or a Lazy Susan. When the fire pit is not used or used in a low setting, the Lazy Susan may hold food items that can be rotated about a central axis for ease of access by each user around the table. Alternatively, the table can be used with a bucket. The bucket can be, for example an ice bucket for maintaining coolness of beverages. The bucket can be used for other food types as desired by the user. 
     Other accessories can include the use of alternative fuel types. For example, when a user desires to use natural charcoal rather than burning a gas fuel, the fire pit can be converted to a charcoal burning receptacle or pit. This may give the fire pit or charcoal pit a more rustic and natural smoke feel to the environment and any food being cooked. The table can also be used with gel burners. The gel burners can combust with less combustible byproducts relative to gas burners or charcoal. The gel burners may be used inside or a semi-closed environment while substantially avoiding noxious fumes that can be dangerous and unpleasant to a user.

The pilot fire box  64  can be connected to the internal mechanisms of the fire pit such as, for example, a propane tank and an air intake. The pilot fire box  64  can be connected to burners  68 . The burners  68  can be connected to the internal mechanisms of the fire pit such as, for example, the propane tank and the air intake. 
     In some embodiments, the fire pit  50  uses liquefied petroleum fuel. Liquefied petroleum can have many elements that are used during the manufacture of the fuel, which can result in fuel combustion with byproducts and soot buildup. The fire pit  50  can use air induction in the fuel stream to mitigate byproducts and soot buildup during combustion. Air induction can include forced air and/or drawn air through venturi induction.  FIG. 25  illustrates a bottom perspective view of a burner tray  58  with a fuel connect  76 . The fuel connect  76  can have a fuel orifice  78  with venturi openings (or air induction ports)  80 . The venturi openings  80  can be located close to the point of combustion (i.e., relatively close to the burners  68 ) to aid in efficient fuel combustion and reduce undesirable pressure variances. Air and fuel can be induced by creating negative pressure at the fuel orifice  78 . The BTU rating of the fire pit  50  can be based at least partly on the specific arrangement and vicinity of the fuel connecter  76 , including fuel orifice  78  and fuel venturi openings  80 . The fuel connect  76  can operably connect to a controller  72  of the fire pit  50  (see  FIG. 27 ) to regulate combustion rate, flame height, and/or flame luminescence as discussed herein. 
     The burner  68  fire pit  50  can have 1 to 16 burner pieces (or arms), including 3 to 12 burner pieces, including 5 to 10 burner, including ranges bordering and the foregoing values, as discussed in further detail in reference to  FIGS. 26A-E . The pieces of the burner can have various shapes such as, for example, a star shape with a 5 piece burner as illustrated in  FIG. 24A  or a hexagon with a 6 piece burner (or 6 arm star burner). Different numbers of pieces and shapes of the burner can be used to provide various heat conduction, heat concentration, and/or burning rates. The burners  68  can have combustion openings or holes  70 . The burners and/or arms can have 3 to 100 combustion holes, including 10 to 90, 20 to 80, 30 to 70,  40  to  60  combustion holes, including ranges bordering and the foregoing values. A greater number of holes, such as 100 holes, in the burner piece allows for more air to be drawn in at the air intake of the fire pit, creating a more efficient burn. 
     The number of combustion holes  70  can be optimized based at least partly on the size of the combustion holes  70 . The pressure at the burner  68  should not exceed the pressure at the fuel orifice  78 . If the pressure at the burner  68  is greater than the pressure at the fuel orifice  78 , then back pressure may result in a reduction of air being inducted into the venturi openings  80 . A reduction of air being inducted into the venturi openings  80  can result in unburned fuel. To avoid back pressure, the total area opening of the combustion holes  70  can equal or exceed the opening area of the fuel orifice. Increasing the number of combustion holes  70  can result in a more efficient burning fuel, but a lower flame height and less flame luminescence. For example, with an increased number of combustion holes  70 , the back pressure at the fuel orifice  76  is decreased, resulting in a leaner fuel-air mixture. With a leaner fuel-air mixture, the resulting flame can be hotter and more efficient, but smaller and bluer (harder to see than a yellow flame). Reducing the number of combustion holes can result in a less efficient burn (the back pressure at the fuel orifice  76  is increased, resulting a richer fuel-air mixture), but a higher flame height and yellow flame luminescence. A balance between the number and the total area opening of the combustion holes  70  can be achieved to result in a high flame height with a high (yellow) flame luminescence and an efficient burn. A high flame height can be about 2 to 8 inches and/or about 1 to 7 inches higher than the tabletop of the fire pit. 
     The balance discussed above can result in a ratio range of the total orifice area of the combustion holes to the opening area of the fuel orifice  82 . In some embodiments, the ratio of the areas can range from about 1.5:1 to 5:1, including 2:1 to 4.5:1, including ranges bordering and the foregoing values. For example, in one embodiment of the fire pit  50 , sixty combustion holes  70  can each have an orifice opening area of about 0.094 inches, resulting in a total opening area of about 0.416 inches. In one embodiment, a 90,000 BTU fire pit can have an opening area of the fuel orifice  78  of about 0.107 inches. A total opening area of the combustion holes  70  of about 0.416 inches and an opening area of about 0.107 inches of the fuel orifice  78  results in a ratio of about 3.9:1. In some embodiments, the combustion holes  70  can each have an orifice opening area of about 0.05 to about 0.15 inches, including about 0.06 to 0.11 inches, including ranges bordering and the foregoing values. In some embodiments, the fuel orifice  78  can have an opening area of about 0.1 to about 1 inches, including about 0.2 to about 0.6 inches, including ranges bordering and the foregoing values. The burner and area ratio features discussed herein can be applied to liquefied petroleum, natural gas, and/or other similar fuels for the fire pit  50 .

The 6 piece burner  68   a  has six burner pieces (or arms)  82  that can radiate out from a center. The arms  82  can be pipe-like and hollow to carry fuel. The arms  82  can have end-caps  81  to cap the arms and help ensure that combustion does not occur at the side of the burner  68   a  (but through the combustion holes  70 ). As illustrated in  FIG. 26E , the arms  82  can have an outer diameter D1 of about 0.3 to 1 inches, including about 0.4 to 0.8 inches, including ranges bordering and the foregoing values. The arms  82  can have an inner diameter D2 of about 0.1 to 0.8 inches, including 0.3 to 0.6 inches, including ranges bordering and the foregoing values. The diameters sizes can depend at least partly on BTU rating of the fire pit and a desired orifice opening area of the combustion holes  70 .  FIG. 26B  illustrates a top view of the burner  68   a . The burner  68   a  can form a generally circular shape with a diameter D3 to generally correspond with the shape of the opening  58 . The diameter D3 can be about 10 to about 17 inches. In the embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 26A-E , the burner  68   a  has thirty combustion holes  70  or five combustion holes  70  per arm  82 . 
       FIG. 26C  illustrates a side view of the 6 piece burner  68   a . The burner  68   a  can have a connection manifold  84 . The connection manifold  84  can mate with the fuel connector  76  with any suitable connection discussed herein. The burner  68   a  can have a height H from a bottom of the connection manifold  84  to a top of the burner  68   a  of about 0.5 to 4 inches, including 1 to 3 inches, including range bordering and the foregoing values. Depending on the height H, the burner  68   a  can have an arm slope angle θ 3  of about 1 to 15 degrees, including about 2 to 10 degrees, including about 3 to 5 degrees, including ranges bordering and the foregoing values. The arm slope angle θ 3  can help place the arms  82  closer to the cooking grill  2  to, for example, follow a sloped contour of the cooking grill  2  as discussed herein. Placing the arms  82  closer to the cooking grill  2  can help heat the cooking grill  2  to a higher temperature as discussed herein. Further, generally raising the elevation of the arms  82  relative to the burner tray  58  can help raise flame height for better flame luminescence. 
       FIG. 26D  illustrates a bottom view of the 6 piece burner  68   a . The burner  68   a  can have a connection manifold  84  with a pipe opening  86 .

     The fire pit  50  can have a controller  72 , such as, for example, a turning knob. The controller  72  can control the rate of fuel combustion by the burners  68 . The controller  72  can control fuel intake. The controller  72  can control air intake. The controller  72  can be used to achieve a desired level of fire light ambiance from the flame and/or desired cooking temperature. The controller  72  can control a gas valve for regulating flame height. In some embodiments, the controller  72  can regulate the heat output and/or light luminescence for other types of heat and light sources of the fire pit  50 , such as for example, an electric heater. 
     In some embodiments, the fire pit can have a heat output ranging from about 8,000 to about 100,000 BTUs, including about 20,000 to about 90,000 BTUs, including about 30,000 to about 80,000 BTUs, including ranges bordering and the foregoing values. The foregoing heat output can make the cooking griddle reach temperatures of up to about 800° Fahrenheit, up to about 700° Fahrenheit, including about 400 to 660° Fahrenheit, including ranges bordering and the foregoing values. The heat source or flame of the fire pit can be under just a portion of the griddle. The heat can thermally conduct through the griddle, further contributing to the cooking zones discussed herein. The cooking grill can be particularly suitable for use on stovetops and fire pits that are hotter than typical or conventional stovetops or fire pits. Thus, the cooking grills versatility allows it be used over a broad range of cooking applications, including stovetops or fire pits designed to provide fire or light for ambiance that may have higher than typical BTU output.

In some embodiments, the food opening  98  may not be large enough or convenient to provide access to the cooking utensils  110  or other oven components as discussed herein, and in particular in reference to  FIGS. 32-34 . 
       FIG. 31  illustrates a bottom perspective view of an embodiment of the oven  90 . Feet  96  can be attached to or integrated with the body  92  of the oven  90 . The feet  96  can be positioned on the body  92  to mate with or rest over a corresponding opening  58  of the fire pit (or any other heat source as discussed herein, such as, for example, a charcoal assembly  150 ). As illustrated in  FIG. 31 , the oven  90  and/or oven body  92  can be square. The square oven  90  can be positioned over an opening  58  of a fire pit that is square. In some embodiments, the over  90  and/or body  92  can be other suitable shapes discussed herein. The oven  90  and/or body  92  can vary in shape accordingly to either engage and/or cover the opening  58  as discussed herein. The feet  96  can have features to rest on, interlock, engage, and/or mate with the opening  58  as discussed herein, and in particular reference to the feet  36  of the cooking grill  2 ,  3 , and  4 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 31 , the feet  96  can have outer protrusions  108 . The outer protrusions  108  can mate with a rim of an opening  58  that is square. The outer protrusions  108  can be positioned and shaped such that when the feet  96  rest over the rim  62  of the opening  58  ( FIG. 24A ). The outer protrusions  108  inhibit movement of the oven  90  in at least a horizontal plane. In some embodiments, the outer protrusions  108  can have features that engage (interlock and/or mate with) the outer rim  62  of the opening  58  and provide resistance to vertical movement of the oven  90 . This can prevent the oven  90  from moving relative to the opening  58  when the fire pit is, for example, accidentally bumped by a user. 
     The feet  96  can have in combination or alternatively inner protrusions  112 . The inner protrusions  112  can interlock, engage, and/or mate with the rim  62  of the opening  58  of the fire pit similarly as discussed here in reference to the outer protrusions  108 . For example, the inner protrusions  112  can inhibit movement of the oven  90  in at least a horizontal plane. Further, the inner protrusions  112  can engage (interlock and/or mate with) the opening  58  to inhibit movement in the vertical direction. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 31 , the inner protrusion  112  can have corners to mate with an opening  58  that is square. As also illustrated and  FIG. 31 , another embodiment of the inner protrusion  114  can be rounded to mate with an opening  58  that is round. In some embodiments, the oven  90  and/or oven body  92  can be square and feature rounded inner protrusions  114 . In such embodiments, the oven  90  may cover only a portion of the opening  58 . Covering only a portion of the opening  58  can provide better airflow as discussed here in, for example, as related to air vent openings. Further, the oven  90  not fully covering the opening  58  can provide ambient light as may be desired by the user as discussed herein, while still allowing for cooking of foods in the oven  90 . 
       FIG. 32  illustrates a top side view of an embodiment of the oven  90  without a cover  100 . The body  92  and/or feet  96  can have flanges  118  for supporting cooking utensils  110 . The flanges  118  can have a divot  120  to mate with feet  116  of the cooking utensils  110 . The feet  116  can support and elevate the cooking utensils  110  at a desired height from the burners  68  or other heat source of the fire pit. The feet  116  can come down vertically and/or any other suitable angle to rest on, mate with, and/or engage the flanges  118 , including the divot  120 . The body  92  can have four flanges  118  and/or divots  120  at each corner of the body  92  when the body  92  is, for example, square. In some embodiments, the body  92  can have more or less flanges  118  and/or divots  120  as is needed to support the cooking utensils  110  or as may be dictated by the shape of the body  92  (i.e., the number of corners based on the shape of the body  92 ). 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 32 , the cooking utensils  110  can support a slate or plate  115 . The plate  115  can be a slate of any suitable material for cooking, for example, pizza. In some embodiments, other suitable cooking utensils can be used in lieu of a plate  115  depending on the type of foods being cooked, such as, for example, a cooking rack with wires. 
       FIG. 33  illustrates a top perspective view of an embodiment of the cooking utensils  110 . The cooking utensils  110  can have a frame  122 , including the feet  116 . The frame  112  can provide adequate support for the plate  115  as discussed herein. Supports  124 , or as illustrated in  FIG. 33  L-beam borders  124 , can be connected to the frame  122  to provide support for the plate  115 . The L-beam supports  124  can have a bottom portion of the L-beam borders  124  that vertically supports the plate  115 , while simultaneously having a side portion of the L-beam borders  124  that inhibits horizontal movement of the plate  115  when the plate  115  is placed within the L-beam borders  124 . The cooking utensils  110  can provide other means of support for the plate  115  or a cooking rack. For example, the plate  115  or cooking rack can be supported at just the corners of, for example, the L-beam borders  124 . Further, the shape of the supports  124  can vary to correspond to and engage a desired or predetermined shape of cooking plate  115 . 
       FIG. 34  illustrates a top side view of an embodiment of a turntable  126 . The turntable  126  can rest over an opening  58  of the fire pit. The turntable  126 , for example, a Lazy Susan, can be used for placing foods on top of a rotating cover, top, or body  128 . The rotating cover  128  can rotate about a center or central axis  129  to provide ease of access to the placed food items. The center axis  129  can correspond to the center axis  15  as discussed herein. The rotating cover  128  can be round and have a diameter of about 12 to about 36 inches. The diameter of the rotating cover  128  can correspond to the diameter of the opening  58  of a fire pit table to substantially cover the opening  58  while the turntable is on the table. 
       FIG. 35  illustrates a bottom side view of an embodiment of the turntable  126 . The rotating cover  128  can have a flange or skirt  130  for supporting roller assemblies  132  (e.g., bearing or wheel assemblies). The flange  130  can have supporting protrusions  131  that provide additional supporting material for the roller assemblies, for example, a bolt/axle hole or opening  139  as discussed herein for supporting the roller assembly  132  in a desired or predetermined position, including a desired or predetermined angle, plane, and/or level, relative to the rotating cover  128  and/or tabletop  56 . 
     The roller assemblies  132  can mate with, engage and/or rest on a table ring, disc, or hoop  134 . The table ring  134  can have stops  136  to rest on a tabletop  56  of the fire pit and/or to rest on, engage, and/or mate with an opening  58 , such as a rim  62  of the opening  58  (e.g., a lip on or resting surface of the opening  58 ). In some embodiments, the stops  136  can be shaped and positioned to mate with or engage the opening  58  such as discussed herein, for example, in reference to the feet  36  of the cooking grill  2 ,  3 , and  4  and/or feet  96  of the oven  90 . The stops  136  can be rubber to help inhibit slipping of the table ring  134 , and correspondingly, the turntable  126 , against the tabletop  56  and/or opening  58 . The table ring  134  can be used, for example, with a square fire pit table  50   b  as discussed herein, including over a round opening  58  or a square opening  58  (for a fire pit). The table ring  134  can be used, for example, with a round fire pit table  50 ,  50   a  as discussed herein, including over a round opening  58  or a square opening  58  (for a fire pit). 
     The rotating cover  128  and table ring  134  can separate from each other. In some embodiments, the roller assemblies  132  can have features that engage and/or mate with the table ring  134  to inhibit undesired vertical movement when, for example, the turntable  126  may be accidentally bumped by a user.  FIG. 36  illustrates a top side view of an embodiment of the table ring  134  separated from the rotating cover  128 . The table ring  134  can be sized and shaped to enclose any type of opening  58  of the fire pit discussed herein. For example, the table ring  134  can be slightly larger than a round opening  58  of a fire pit to enclose the round periphery of the opening  58 . In some embodiments, the table ring  134  can be sized to fully enclose the corners of a square opening  58  within the table ring&#39;s  134  inner boundary. 
       FIG. 37A  illustrates a bottom view of the turntable  126 . The roller assemblies  132  can be evenly spaced near the outer periphery of the turntable  126 . For example,  FIG. 37A  illustrates five evenly spaced roller assemblies  132 . In some embodiments, the turntable  126  can have three, four, six, seven, eight, or more roller assemblies  132 . The stops  136  can be evenly spaced near around the table ring  134 . For example,  FIG. 37A  illustrates four evenly spaced stops  136 . In some embodiments, the table ring  134  can have three, five, six, seven, eight, or stops  136 .  FIG. 37B  illustrates a cross-sectional view of the turntable  126  along the line shown in  FIG. 37A . The roller assemblies  132  can be connected to the turntable  126  via the flange  130  and rest on the table ring  134 , engaging the inner periphery or wall  135  of the table ring  134  (see, e.g.,  FIG. 37C ). 
       FIG. 37C  illustrates an enlarged cross-sectional view of the roller assembly  132 . The roller assembly  132  can have a shoulder bolt  138  (e.g., an axle, rod, pole, or shaft). The shoulder bolt  138  can engage the protrusion  131  of the flange  130  via a bolt hole  139 . As illustrated in  FIG. 37C , the shoulder bolt  138  and bolt hole  139  can be threaded to provide a desired tight engagement therebetween. Other suitable connection types as discussed herein can be provided as well, including interference fit and/or snap fit mechanism to inhibit movement between the shoulder bolt  138  and bolt hole  139 . The shoulder bolt  138  can have a bolt head  140 . A stop washer  142  can fit onto the shoulder bolt  138  and abut the bolt head  140 . As discussed herein, the stop washer  142  can be considered a projection, extension, fin, wing, and/or hook functioning as discussed herein (e.g., to engage an inner wall or side of an opening or table ring to guide the rotation of the rotating cover  128 ). The stop washer  142  can be sized and shaped to engage, mate with, or abut against the inner periphery or wall  135  of the table ring  134  while the bearing  144  rolls or moves along the top portion, lip, or rim  137  of the table ring  134  (e.g., a resting surface). The bearing  144  has a diameter sufficient to elevate the rotating cover and/or flange above the top portion, lip, or rim  137  of the table ring  134  (or other resting surfaces as discussed herein) a desired or predetermine distance (e.g., vertical) such that the rotating flange  128 , flange  130 , and rotating assembly  132  can rotate freely without obstructions or interference with the resting surface along the rotating path (e.g., in the horizontal plane, perpendicular to the central axis  129 ). 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 37C , the bottom portion of the stop washer or stop  142  (e.g., portion of the stop washer  142  proximate to the table ring  134  or distal to the rotating cover  128 ) can protrude or extend past the top of the table ring  134  (e.g., past a periphery or perimeter of the bearing  144 ) such that when the rotating cover  128  is placed on the table ring  134 , the rotating cover  128  is substantially inhibited from traveling in the horizontal plane (e.g., substantially perpendicular to the center axis  129 ). Top and bottom as discussed herein can be in reference to when the turntable  126  is positioned upright in a desired or predetermined position relative to a table (e.g., table  50 ) for rotation relative the table as discussed herein (e.g., about center axis  129 ). 
     In some embodiments, the stop washer  142  can have a feature that more fully engages the table ring  134  to help prevent vertical movement of the rotating cover  128  relative to the table ring  134 . For example, the bottom portion of the stop washer  142  can be an L-shape feature, with the bottom portion of the L at least partially engaging a bottom of the table ring  134  to inhibit undesired vertical motion of the rotating cover  128  relative to the table ring  134 . 
     In some embodiments, the stop washer  142  can be sized and shaped to engage, mate with, or abut against the inner periphery of an opening  58  of a table (e.g., a fire pit table), such as for example, engaging an inner wall  61  and/or inner rim  62  of an opening  58  that is round. See  FIG. 38B . Also, the table ring  134  illustrated in  FIGS. 34-37C  can represent the inner wall  61  and/or inner rim  62  of a fire pit table  50 . The turntable  126  can engage with an opening  58  similarly as discussed herein with the table ring  134 . 
     In some embodiments, the bottom portion of the stop washer or stop  142  (e.g., portion of the stop washer  142  proximate to the opening  58  or distal to the rotating cover  128 ) can protrude or extend past the top of the inner rim  61  (e.g., past a periphery or perimeter of the bearing  144 ) when the turntable  126  is positioned over the opening  58  without the table ring  134  such that the rotating cover  128  is substantially inhibited from traveling in the horizontal plane. 
     In some embodiments, the stop washer  142  can have a feature that more fully engages the opening  58  to help prevent vertical movement of the rotating cover  128  relative to the opening  58  (e.g., parallel to the center axis  129 ). For example, the bottom portion of the stop washer  142  can be an L-shape feature, with the bottom portion of the L at least partially engaging, for example, a groove in the inner wall  61  to inhibit undesired vertical motion of the rotating cover  128  relative to the opening  58 . [0175] A top portion of the stop washer  142  (e.g., portion of the stop washer  142  distal from the table ring  134  and/or opening  58 , or proximate to the rotating cover  128 ) can be sized and shaped to engage and/or substantially abut the rotating cover  128 . When the shoulder bolt  138  is rotated to fix in place the components of the roller assembly  132  as discussed herein, the top portion of the stop washer  142  can abut the rotating cover  128  such that the rotation of the shoulder bolt  138  does not continually rotate the stop washer  142  relative to the rotating cover  128  (e.g., the stop washer is rectangular and in particular, has a substantially straight side abutting the table cover  128  as illustrated in  FIG. 37B ). 
     Such an abutment of the stop washer  142  and the rotating cover  128  can fix the stop washer  142  in a desired position relative to the table ring  134 . As illustrated in  FIG. 37C , in some embodiments upon assembly, the bolt head  140  can abut the stop washer  142 , which can abut a spacer  148  that abuts a rotating bearing or rotation/rotating wheel  144 . In some embodiments, the spacer  148  illustrated in  FIG. 146  can be a washer  146 . For example, the spacer  148  can be considered a washer with an extended axial length along a longitudinal axis of the bolt  138 . The bearing  144  can abut a washer  146 , which can abut flange  130  and/or the protrusion  131 . In some embodiments, the washer  146  illustrated in  FIG. 37C  can be substituted with a washer  148 . As illustrated in  FIG. 37C  upon assembly, the components of the roller assembly  132  are fixed relative to the protrusion  131 , flange  130 , and/or rotating cover  128 . 
     The roller assembly  132  can have a rolling or rotating feature that provides movement of the roller assembly  132  relative to the table ring  134  and/or opening  58  (e.g., inner rim  62 ). As illustrated in  FIG. 37C , the roller assembly  132  can have a bearing  144  that rotates about the shoulder bolt  138 . The bearing  144  can contact the table ring  134  and/or opening  58  (e.g., inner rim  62 ) when the rotating cover  128  is placed onto the table ring  134  and/or opening  58 . As the bearing  144  rotates relative to the surface of the table ring  134 , the rotating cover  128  revolves substantially about a shared central axis with the table ring  134  and/or opening  58 . 
     The bearing  144  can fit onto the shoulder bolt  138 . The bearing  144  can be fitted with washers  146  on one or both sides of the bearing  144 . The washers  146  can fit onto the shoulder bolt  138 . The bearing  144  can be spaced a desired or predetermined distance from the protrusion  131  of the flange  130  and/or stop washer  142  by a spacer  148  that fits onto the shoulder bolt  138  such that the bearing  144  rests on the surface  137  of the table ring  134  as illustrated in  FIG. 37C  and/or a surface (e.g., rim  62 ) of an opening  58 . As the rotating cover  128  revolves and the roller assemblies  132  move relative to the table ring  134  and/or opening  58 , the bottom portion of the stop washer  142  can engage the inner periphery of the table ring  134 , inner wall  61 , and/or rim  62  to maintain the bearing  144  in substantially the same radial position relative to the table ring  134  and/or opening  58 . The stop washer  142  helps the bearing  144  stay engaged and rolling on the table ring  134  and/or opening  58  as the rotating cover  128  revolves substantially about its central axis. 
     In some embodiments, the roller assembly  132  can engage the rim  62  of an opening  58  of the fire pit as discussed herein and in particular, in reference to  FIG. 24A . In some embodiments, the rim  62  of the opening  58  can substantially act as the table ring  134 . The bearing  144  can rest on the top of the rim  62  to move or rotate on the rim  62 . The stop washer  142  can engage the inner wall  61  of the opening  58  in substantially a similar manner as the inner periphery of the table ring  134  to help prevent horizontal movement of the rotating cover  128  relative to the opening  58  of the fire pit. 
     Accordingly, the turntable  126  can be configured and have features that engage the table ring  134  and/or opening  58  of a table without additional features, modification, arrangement, and/or setup of the opening  58  and/or table needed. The turntable  126  can be placed onto the table (e.g., onto or at a desired elevation above the tabletop  56  of a table  50 ) quickly when desired by the user (e.g., before or after using the fire pit functionality of the table as discussed herein). After use, the turntable  126  can be lifted away (e.g., removed) from the tabletop  56  along with the roller assemblies  132  without additional steps (e.g., disengagement of connections between the turntable  126  and table ring  134  and/or tabletop  56 ), providing access to the opening  58  as desired for other uses discussed herein. 
     In addition, the arrangement of the turntable  126  and roller assemblies  132  as discussed herein are substantially not visible and are unobtrusive to a user when the turntable  126  is positioned on the table (e.g., on the tabletop  56  over the opening  58 ) as discussed herein. For example, as illustrated in  FIGS. 37A-C , the roller assemblies  132  protrude or project from the flange  130  inwards toward the a center axis  129  of the turntable  126  (e.g., substantially perpendicular to the center axis  129 ). In some embodiments, the roller assemblies may protrude or project from the flange  130  outward away from the center axis  129 . 
       FIG. 38A  illustrates a top perspective view of an embodiment of a turntable  126  on a table ring  134  resting on a table  50   a  (e.g., a table with an opening  58  that can be used with, for example, a fire pit or other accessories as discussed herein, including other tables  50 ,  50   b ). As illustrated in  FIG. 38A , the table ring  134  can have a diameter that substantially coincides with the diameter of the opening  58  (e.g., is the substantially or about the same). In some embodiments, the diameter of the table ring  134  can be about 12 to about 18 inches to correspond to the diameter of the opening  58  as discussed herein. The table ring  134  can rest on a top surface (e.g., rim  62 ) of the opening  58  as discussed herein. The rotating cover  128  can rest on the table ring  134  for the roller assemblies  132  to rest on, engage with, or mate with the table ring  134  as discussed herein (e.g., with the rim  137  and/or inner wall  135 , see  FIG. 37C ). 
       FIG. 38B  illustrates a top perspective view of an embodiment of a turntable  126  on a table  50   a  (e.g., a table with an opening  58  that can be used with, for example, a fire pit or other accessories as discussed herein, including other tables  50 ,  50   b ). As illustrated in  FIG. 38A , the rotating cover  128  can have a diameter that substantially coincides with the diameter of the opening  58  for the roller assemblies  132  to rest on, engage with, or mate with opening  58  (e.g., top resting surface such as a rim  62  and/or inner wall  61  of the opening  58 ) as discussed herein. In some embodiments, the diameter of the rotating cover  128  can be about 12 to about 36 inches to correspond to the diameter of the opening  58  as discussed herein while substantially covering the opening  58  at the periphery/perimeter of the opening  58 . 
     Accordingly, as illustrated in  FIGS. 38A and 38B , the turntable  126  can substantially cover the opening  58  to provide a surface to place items such as food on top of the rotating cover  128  while allowing the rotating cover  128  to rotate along about a central axis  129  as discussed herein for ease of access to those items. The turntable  126  provides this functionality without any or minimal modification, adjustment, or set-up needed to tables  50 ,  50   a ,  50   b  as discussed herein.

The vent openings  164 , burner opening  165 , and/or firebox opening  167  can be left open or closed when in use with the charcoal assembly  150  depending on desired air flow and/or clean up of spent charcoal (ash). The vent openings  164 , burner opening  165 , and/or firebox opening  167  can be closed with, for example, plugs, plates, bars, and/or other suitable components that engage or mate with the vent openings  164 , burner opening  165 , and/or firebox opening  167  to provide satisfactory/desired sealing/closure of the openings. The vent openings  164 , burner opening  165 , and/or firebox opening  167  can be subsequently opened for use, for example, with the firebox  64  and burners  68  as discussed herein. 
       FIG. 41  illustrates a top perspective view of an embodiment of a charcoal assembly  150 . As discussed herein, the charcoal assembly  150  can have a charcoal tray  152  that fits within the burner tray  58 . Coals (or other suitable combustible media) can be put into the charcoal tray  152  for combusting to enjoy ambient light and/or cooking of foods. The opening supports  162  can be attached to the burner tray  58  and/or charcoal tray  152  to provide a fixed engagement relative to the tabletop  56 . 
     The charcoal tray  152  can have vent openings  170  for airflow. The charcoal tray  152  can have a burner opening  172  that corresponds to the burner opening  165  in the burner tray  58 . Depending on desired airflow and/or ease charcoal ash cleanup, any of the airflow openings or holes discussed herein can be opened or closed to achieve a desired operation and balance between airflow and cleanup. Further, in some embodiments, some of the vent holes can be vertically misaligned such that charcoal ash falling through the vent holes  170  onto the burner tray  58  do not fall through the vent holes  164  of burner tray  58 . 
     The charcoal tray  152  can have handles  156  to carry and/or position the charcoal tray  152  as desired, for example within burner tray  58 . The handles  156  can have side prongs  166 . The charcoal tray  152  can have slots  168  attached or integrated with the charcoal tray  152 . The side prongs  166  can engage the slots  168  to fix at least the vertical position of the handles  156  relative to the charcoal tray  152 . For example, the handles  156  can be biased to position the side prongs  166  outwardly relative to the separation between the side prongs  166 . When the sides of the handle  156  are squeezed, the side prongs  166  can be inserted into the slots  168 . Upon release of the handle  156 , the side prongs  166  are pushed into and/or engage the slots  168 . The side prongs  166  can stay engaged with the slots  168  until the handle  156  is squeezed again by the user. The user may desire to disengage the handles  156  from the charcoal tray  152  after positioning the charcoal tray  152  relative to the tabletop  56 , but before starting combustion of the coals. Thus, the handles  156  can be removed with the charcoal tray  152  positioned as desired, but before combustion of the coals so the handles  156  do not get hot during combustion of the coals, presenting a potential safety hazard. 
     The charcoal tray  152  can have a lip  173 . The lip  173  can be sized and shaped to rest on top of the rim  62  of the burner tray  58  to provide vertical support to the charcoal tray  152 . The charcoal tray  152  can have cutouts  174 . The cutouts  174  can provide openings for further airflow underneath the charcoal tray  152  during combustion of charcoal. 
       FIG. 42  illustrates a top perspective view of a cooking rack  158 . The cooking rack  158  can have handle cutouts  160 . The handle cutouts  160  can be positioned to correspond to the position of the handles  156  when the handles are engaged with the charcoal tray  152  and the cooking rack  158  is positioned within the charcoal tray  152 . The handle cutouts  160  can be sized, shaped, and/or positioned such that the cooking rack  158  can be positioned inside the charcoal tray  152  without having to remove the handles  156 . This can be useful when filling the charcoal tray  152  with coals in a location located away from the fire pit, and then positioning the cooking rack  158  in the charcoal tray  152 . The handles  156  can be used to carry the charcoal assembly  150  as one unit to the fire pit. The cooking rack  158  and handle cutouts  160  can also be sized and shaped such that handles  156  can be disengaged from the charcoal tray  152  before combustion of the coals as discussed herein, without having to remove the cooking rack  158 . Thus, the charcoal tray  152  and the cooking rack  158  can positioned in the fire pit as one unit using the handles  156 , and the handles  156  can removed thereafter.

     It is contemplated that various combinations or subcombinations of the specific features and aspects of the embodiments disclosed above may be made and still fall within one or more of the inventions. Further, the disclosure herein of any particular feature, aspect, method, property, characteristic, quality, attribute, element, or the like in connection with an embodiment can be used in all other embodiments set forth herein. Accordingly, it should be understood that various features and aspects of the disclosed embodiments can be combined with or substituted for one another in order to form varying modes of the disclosed inventions. Thus, it is intended that the scope of the present inventions herein disclosed should not be limited by the particular disclosed embodiments described above. Moreover, while the invention is susceptible to various modifications, and alternative forms, specific examples thereof have been shown in the drawings and are herein described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not to be limited to the particular forms or methods disclosed, but to the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the various embodiments described and the appended claims. Any methods disclosed herein need not be performed in the order recited. The methods disclosed herein include certain actions taken by a practitioner; however, they can also include any third-party instruction of those actions, either expressly or by implication. For example, actions such as “passing a suspension line through the base of the tongue” include “instructing the passing of a suspension line through the base of the tongue.” It is to be understood that such depicted architectures are merely examples, and that in fact many other architectures can be implemented which achieve the same functionality. In a conceptual sense, any arrangement of components to achieve the same functionality is effectively “associated” such that the desired functionality is achieved. Hence, any two components herein combined to achieve a particular functionality can be seen as “associated with” each other such that the desired functionality is achieved, irrespective of architectures or intermedial components. The ranges disclosed herein also encompass any and all overlap, sub-ranges, and combinations thereof. Language such as “up to,” “at least,” “greater than,” “less than,” “between,” and the like includes the number recited. Numbers preceded by a term such as “approximately”, “about”, and “substantially” as used herein include the recited numbers, and also represent an amount close to the stated amount that still performs a desired function or achieves a desired result. 
     With respect to the use of substantially any plural and/or singular terms herein, those having skill in the art can translate from the plural to the singular and/or from the singular to the plural as is appropriate to the context and/or application. The various singular/plural permutations may be expressly set forth herein for sake of clarity. 
     It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced embodiment recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the embodiment, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following disclosure may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce embodiment recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of an embodiment recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular embodiment containing such introduced embodiment recitation to embodiments containing only one such recitation, even when the same embodiment includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce embodiment recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced embodiment recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C” or “one of the A, B, or C,” etc. is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C (or one of the A, B, or C)” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, embodiments, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B.” 
     While various aspects and embodiments have been disclosed herein, other aspects and embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The various aspects and embodiments disclosed herein are for purposes of illustration and are not intended to be limiting.
