Continuous cooking surface with individually controllable heating zones

1. A grill, comprising:

a grill plate defining a continuous cooking surface comprising a plurality of individually controllable heating zones separated by one or more isolation zones,

each heating zone comprising one or more heating elements positioned beneath the grill plate, and each isolation zone comprising a cooling fluid channel; and

a cooling fluid circulation system configured to control a flow of a cooling fluid through the cooling fluid channel for each isolation zone.

2. The grill of claim 1 , wherein each isolation zone comprises a conduit positioned in the cooling fluid channel.

3. The grill of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fluid channel is formed in an underside of the grill plate.

4. The grill of claim 3 , further comprising a cover attached to the grill plate and covering the cooling fluid channel.

5. The grill of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fluid channel is bored through the grill plate.

6. The grill of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fluid comprises one or more of water and a glycol-based coolant.

7. The grill of claim 1 , wherein the grill plate comprises three or more heating zones.

8. The grill of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fluid channel comprises a curve.

9. The grill of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fluid circulation system comprises a common manifold for delivering cooling fluid to each isolation zone of a plurality of isolation zones.

10. The grill of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fluid circulation system further comprises a pump.

11. The grill of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fluid circulation system comprises one or more radiators configured to remove heat transferred from the grill plate via the cooling fluid.

12. The grill of claim 1 , wherein one or more heating elements of a first heating zone are independently controllable relative to one or more heating elements of a second heating zone.

13. A grill comprising a plurality of individually controllable heating zones separated by one or more isolation zones, the grill comprising:

a grill plate comprising a continuous cooking surface;

one or more heating elements positioned beneath each heating zone of the grill plate;

a cooling fluid channel positioned within each isolation zone, each cooling fluid channel being formed in an underside of the cooking surface; and

a cooling fluid circulation system configured to control a flow of a cooling fluid through the cooling fluid channel for each isolation zone.

14. The grill of claim 13 , further comprising a cooling fluid conduit positioned in each cooling fluid channel.

15. The grill of claim 13 , further comprising a cover attached to the grill plate to cover the cooling fluid channel.

16. The grill of claim 13 , wherein the grill comprises a 2×2 arrangement of heating zones.

17. The grill of claim 13 , wherein one or more heating elements of a first heating zone are independently controllable relative to one or more heating elements of a second heating zone.

18. A grill, comprising:

a grill plate defining a continuous cooking surface comprising a plurality of individually controllable heating zones separated by one or more isolation zones, each heating zone comprising one or more heating elements positioned beneath the grill plate, and

each isolation zone comprising a cooling fluid channel bored through the grill plate; and

a cooling fluid circulation system comprising a pump configured to pump cooling fluid through the cooling fluid channel for each isolation zone and a radiator configured to remove heat from each isolation zone.

19. The grill of claim 18 , wherein the cooling fluid channel of each isolation zone connects to a common manifold.

20. The grill of claim 18 , wherein the grill comprises three heating zones and two isolation zones.
