Abstract
A one-piece hood for a gas grill is formed from a single sheet of steel and comprises at least a front wall, a back wall, opposing side walls, and a top wall. Each of the opposing side walls further includes an indented central portion that has a substantially uniform depth and a perimeter internally adjacent to the side wall perimeter. The indented central portions increase the structural strength of the hood so as to better resist warping due to heating. A sloped wall can be formed between the top wall and the front wall.
