A vent-free fireplace heat removal system and accessories for installation of components for same, and methods for removal utilizing same. The system includes components so that when in use, heat generated in the combustion space escapes into the room in which the fireplace is situated, and heat in the room within a determined distance from the fireplace enters a slot, collects in a collection duct, and passes through a heat exhaust aperture to be expelled from the room. In certain embodiments, a fan system enhances the ability of the vent-free fireplace to expel heat.
F24B 1/189 - Stoves with open fires, e.g. fireplaces with air-handling means, heat exchange means, or additional provisions for convection heating Controlling combustion characterised by air-handling means, i.e. of combustion-air, heated-air, or flue-gases, e.g. draught control dampers
A kamado-style grill fitted with an electric heat source for generating heat internal to the grill. A control panel is positioned external to the grill for allowing a user to activate and adjust the temperature internal to the grill by adjusting the output of the electric heat source. Optionally, the kamado-style grill is designed as a dual use cooking device. The electric heat source may thus be removed from the interior of the grill and replaced by a panel for protecting the control panel, allowing the grill to be reconfigured as a wood or charcoal grill.

A heater having a burner, a first heat exchanger associated with the burner, a second heat exchanger above the first heat exchanger in fluid cooperation with the first heat exchanger and an ambient air intake blower above the second heat exchanger. The second heat exchanger comprises angularly disposed finned section so condensate within the second heat exchanger flows to a collection point and is collected in a trap. The trap includes a sensor to sense buildup of fluid in the trap with feedback to the heater controls. The heater may include a collection pan below the heat exchangers in fluid communication with the trap. In one aspect the collection pan may include a heating element to vaporize the fluid so that heated, humidified air is expelled through vents adjacent the base of the heater. In another aspect, the pan includes an ultrasonic vaporization element to vaporize fluid in the pan.
