Abstract:
A gas barbecue grill has a housing (15), a grate (25) supported by the housing for supporting food for cooking, and a gas burner (28) for supplying heat. The gas burner (28) includes at least one fluidic burner element centrally located and projecting a heating flame aligned substantially along the centerline and downward. A heat distribution member having an axis aligned with the centerline has at least a pair of downwardly diverging planar elements with the burner projecting a flame along the centerline which heats the center of the distribution member.
