Patent attributes
A cooking device includes a housing assembly, a first heat source, a second heat source, a first heat control system, and a second heat control system. The housing assembly defines two cooking volumes adjacent to one another. A first cooking volume has a first portion of the cooking structure and a second cooking volume has a second portion of the cooking structure. The first heat source is disposed in the first cooking volume and provides thermal energy directly to the first portion of the cooking structure. The second heat source is disposed in the second cooking volume and occluded from the second portion of the cooking structure to provide thermal energy indirectly to the second portion of the cooking structure. The cooking volumes operate independently and cooperatively to allow for selective cooking of a foodstuff on the first portion of the cooking structure or the second cooking structure with both direct thermal energy from the first heat source and indirect thermal energy from the second heat source.
