ABSTRACT:
A broiler assembly connectable to a cooking apparatus and provided with a broiler surface that generates a substantially even heat distribution pattern for cooking. The broiler assembly has a broiler housing defining a broiler interior area. Plenum members defining a plenum in the broiler interior area, wherein the plenum is connectable to a gas source and adapted to receive combustion gas from the gas source. A lower one of the plenum members is a burner tile holder that retains one or more burner tiles that define a broiler surface. The burner tiles have a plurality of burner apertures therein that communicate with the plenum to channel the combustion gas from the plenum to the broiler surface for ignition. The burner tiles form a burner portion having an outer set of burner apertures extending therethrough, an inner set of burner apertures extending therethrough, and a middle set of burner apertures between the outer and inner sets of burner apertures. Outer spacer portions having no apertures therein are positioned between the outer and middle sets of burner apertures, and inner spacer portions having no apertures therein are positioned between the middle and inner sets of burner apertures. Ignition pathways extend between the outer and middle sets of burner apertures and also between the middle and inner sets of burner apertures. The sets of burner apertures and the spacer portions provide a substantially non-uniform heat source distributed at a selected distance spaced apart from the broiler surface while providing a substantially uniform heat distribution pattern over the broiler surface during operation of the broiler assembly.
