A rack oven having an oven interior, an access door, a baking chamber, a passive steam generator, and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a chamber containing burners, an undivided exhaust collection plenum positioned above the burner chamber, and a plurality of straight heat exchange tubes extending upwardly between and communicating with the burner chamber and the collection plenum. A blower circulates air within the oven interior among the heat exchange tubes, the steam generator and the baking chamber, and the steam generator produces steam using the circulating air heated by the heat exchange tubes.

A conversion broiler assembly to adapt a single-sided cooking apparatus to a double-sided cooking apparatus. The conversion broiler assembly has a rear housing that is mountable to the single-sided cooking apparatus. The rear housing movably receives left and right stanchions that are pivotally attached to left and right support arms with a broiler positioned therebetween. The left and right stanchions and support arms are generally hollow and provide passageways for combustion air, exhaust air, gas lines and electrical lines to and from the broiler. A rail system having two rails with running surfaces and one rail with an inclined running surface support rollers on the left and right stanchions to provide for smooth and easy lateral translation of the broiler relative to the rear housing. The conversion broiler assembly has a flue system for directing air flow and high temperature exhaust away from the assembly when in use while maintaining a substantially cool rear wall of the assembly. The broiler has an improved burner pattern with burner tiles positioned in a perimeter set of tiles surrounding and spaced apart from a smaller central set of tiles to provided even heat distribution across the broiler surface.
