Burner remains the burner
The Crown is not described as altering fuel delivery, ignition, burner-port geometry or primary-air entrainment.
Below the grate. Around the burner.
The defining idea is placement: the Crown is designed around the gas burner while the existing grate remains responsible for supporting cookware.

Crown sits beneath the grate
Its intended position is around the burner and below the cookware-supporting grate.
Thermal flow moves upward
The Crown’s fixed geometry is designed to guide post-combustion thermal flow upward and outward beneath cookware.
Why placement matters
Different from a plate between pan and flame.
Many products described as heat diffusers or simmer plates sit on top of a stove grate and place a solid or perforated surface directly beneath cookware. Le Krohn’s Crown is positioned differently: below the grate, surrounding the burner rather than becoming the cookware support.
This distinction is central to explaining what Le Krohn is—and what it is not.

The Crown is intended to make sense mechanically while also being treated as part of the designed cooking environment.
