Abstract
A broiler for hamburger patties and the like has a partially enclosed frame with a feeding opening therein. An endless conveyor on the frame has a generally horizontal upper run accessible through the opening and passing a predetermined distance below a first gas burner on the frame. A radiant energy shield is disposed between the gas burner and the opening. A second gas burner is on the frame below the upper run substantially the same predetermined distance, the lower run of the conveyor running in a path arched upwardly over the second gas burner. Another radiant energy shield is disposed between the second gas burner and the opening. There are also trays on the frame to receive patties from the first conveyor and also to receive buns from a second, separately heated bun conveyor on the frame.
