Abstract

An energy conserving broiler has a frame supporting a housing having a patty opening and a bun opening therein. The upper run of an endless conveyor is disposed adjacent the patty opening. Two arrays of spaced heater elements are on the frame above and below the upper run of the conveyor. Radiant heat reflecting partitions are disposed between the elements of each array and double wall radiant heat reflectors are disposed above and below the two arrays. A deflector wall is positioned between one of the arrays and the patty feed opening. A bun conveyor is on the frame near the bun feed opening. A bun heater is above the bun conveyor. A patty receiving device for reflecting heat upwardly is disposed between the heater element array below the upper run of the conveyor and the bun heater.
