ABSTRACT:
A draft controller for use with a combustible solid fuel comprises an elongated band of heat-resistant material such as sheet metal which can be flexed so that attachment devices provided on the ends of the band can be interengaged to provide an open-topped container of adjustable size and which can then be disposed on a fuel-supporting surface, for example, within a barbecue, to confine the fuel to a limited area. Or, the ends of the band can be left open to confine the fuel in a broader, shallower area. In one embodiment, the flow of combustion air to and across the top surface of the burning fuel can be controlled by forming the band with a width which varies between its two ends. In another embodiment, air flow openings are provided in the band of different sizes and/or spacings. In both embodiments, the position of the container so formed can be rotationally adjusted to optimize combustion and top surface burning of the fuel having regard to the strength of the wind. The container can also be formed from a plurality of such bands releasable interconnected, end-to-end.
