Abstract
A burn prevention screen for use with an outdoor cooking grill. The burn prevention screen has a piece of high temperature tolerant material and a fastener for securing the high temperature tolerant material to the external surface of the grill. The high temperature tolerant material should be flexible, weather resistant, have a low thermal conductivity and be stable at temperatures in excess of 450° F. to 800° F. for extended periods of time. Examples of suitable material include felts, woven ceramic fiber, polymer sheet, composite fabric, other similar materials, or combinations of these materials. The fasteners are preferably magnets, with the preferred magnet being a rare earth magnet or other high temperature tolerant magnet that will retain its magnetic performance after repeated heating and cooling cycles.
