<p>A conveyorized commercial broiler apparatus (10) has upper (40, 42, 46) and lower burners (30, 32, 34) above and below the conveyor (14) for broiling meat products carried on the conveyor. A plurality of perforated sheet grids (50, 56, 66, 70, 40A, 42A, 46A, 100, 130) are provided to control flame flare-ups and cause the fat that may drip onto the perforated sheets (50, 56, 66, 70, 40A, 42A, 46A, 100, 130) to be vaporized and quickly and cleanly burned prior to pyrolization. The perforated sheets (50, 56, 66, 70, 40A, 42A, 46A, 100, 130) are selected to be low thermal mass, and thus relatively thin and perforated to a point where they have preferably between 25 % and 75 % open area. The perforated sheets (50, 56, 66, 70, 40A, 42A, 46A, 100, 130) are positioned in selected locations to control combustion and vaporization of fat rendered from the meat product being broiled.</p> |
