The first Talking Fire In the Wall Street Tech edition of 21st of May, Keith Blanchard summarizes the history of the American BBQ in 12 GREAT MOMENTS. The article describes how backyard grills from Weber TEC and other manufacturers evolved from basic charcoal to infrared to WI-FI voice control.

“Did civilization invent grilling, or was it the other way around? Remnants of ancient campfires are among the earliest evidence we have of human groups: Grills—primitive ones by modern standards, with none o’ yer fancy sauce warmers—have been found throughout the ruins of antiquity. As long as we’ve been social, we’ve been congregating around the grill, asking the cook if he shouldn’t flip that chicken, because it sure looks done to us.”

Today, four out of five U.S. households own a grill, thanks to a century of loving innovation. A small review of milestones in the BBQ sector finish with the latest invention, the Lynx Smart Grill, developed by Copreci.

This grill responds to voice commands, provides cooking times and placement tips, and can send you text alerts when it’s time to flip the wildebeest. A smartphone app lets you turn the grill off, when it’s out of shouting range. The SmartGrill is an intelligent, connected gas grill that automatically cooks foods based on user preference. The “First Talking Fire” in the market: your fire will tell you the position of the flame, the temperature of the room … very helpful for aged people and people with visual limitations. It helps you to know the real status of the fire (pilot, medium, high flame...). The SmartGrill shuts off if it does not hear instructions for 30 minutes.

Brinkmann Corporation will provide Copreci with financial compensation for sales made to date and obtain authorisation to continue using the Copreci dual solution in the future

Both parties reached an agreement after the lawsuit brought against the multinational by Aretxabaleta Co-op for patent violation with Georgia North District Court in the US.

The patents subject to the lawsuit: US 7, 950,384 B2, US 8,282,390 B2 and US 8,449,289 B2, refer to dual valve cooking appliances that use both natural and liquid gas. This dual solution gives manufacturers the great advantage of offering a single valid model for both gases instead of having to offer a model for each gas type.

During the lawsuit brought on 5th December 2012, an extremely favourable situation arose for Copreci, in which the Court clearly supported the arguments presented by MONDRAGON Corporation in relation to the existence of said violation.

In view of this situation, the parties reached an agreement and dismissed the legal proceedings. By virtue of this agreement, Brinkmann Corporation will provide Copreci with financial compensation for sales made to date and obtain authorisation to continue using the Copreci dual solution in the future. Furthermore, Brinkmann Corporation will have to mark their products with Copreci patent numbers and indicate on their website that these products are sold under the Copreci patent licence.

This is not the first time that Copreci has won a patent conflict against a US giant. Three years ago an out-of-court agreement was reached with the multinational company Coleman, which had been selling Copreci cooking appliances without its consent, thereby violating US patent 7,174,913 B2 for a gas tap that produces touch and sound readings similar to those produced by Hi-Fi equipment controls. Coleman agreed to compensate Copreci for sales made to date and cease manufacturing and selling the infringing product.

A unified and consolidated platform, 100% reliable with long experience in the market, which distinguishes itself by offering customers a ready to connect product after certifications and approvals , which simplifies its market launch.

The Ecook series incorporates a special feature that allows the user a more efficient management of energy. This function manages the power consumption of the hob and warns the user, by an acoustic signal, when the limit set is exceeded.

Copreci also integrates a new wireless communication system between the hob and hood, called CleanHood. The hood needs no supervision, it works autonomously, so the cooker hood´s reamain clean as they are rarely touched by greasy fingers… Moreover, Ecook series it´s known for its flexibility and adaptability, it can be easily integrated in any final application built -in , free - standing or polyvalent and different sizes in both widths, and depths.

Copreci has more than 20 years, developing different generations of induction with the aim of providing an assembled and certified solution, ready to integrate into the final application.

The awarded “Safe ignition system” ensures the gas grill re-ignition, avoiding gas explosions. The re-ignition can be programmed up to 4 times and if after these attempts the flame is not detected, the system automatically shut off the gas.

The finalist award went to the “Free flame”, a new technology that has been developed in collaboration with IHP and Skytech to provide the market with a fireplace that has a random flame pattern creating the most dynamic and realistic flame in the industry.

Richard Wright , director of Hearth & Home magazine, defines the presentation of these awards like the Oscar´s night of this sector.
