Abstract
A cooking appliance is provided, including a cooktop floor and a removable cooking vessel support system on the cooktop floor. The cooking vessel support system includes a support frame configured to support a cooking vessel above a gas burner, the support frame having at least a first arm supporting the gas burner above and spaced apart from the cooktop floor. The support frame includes an internal passageway in fluid communication with the gas burner and configured to draw primary air into the support frame at a location above the cooktop floor and to mix the primary air with an injected gas to provide an air-gas mixture. At least a portion of the internal passageway is formed in the first arm of the support frame such that the air-gas mixture is guided by the internal passageway through the first arm to the gas burner.
