Abstract
The rotating charcoal grill comprises a base, a charcoal bowl, a cooking grate, a support shaft, a grate coupler, and a spring. The rotating charcoal grill may be a grill for cooking food over charcoal. The support shaft may support the charcoal bowl at a first height above the base. A motor located in the base may cause a motor shaft to rotate. A height adjustment pin on the motor shaft may cause rotation of the support shaft and the charcoal bowl when the motor shaft rotates. The motor shaft may support the cooking grate at a second height above the base. The difference between the first height and the second height may be adjustable such that the cooking grate may be brought closer to or farther away from the charcoal bowl.
Claims16
A rotating charcoal grill comprising:
- a base, a charcoal bowl, a cooking grate, a support shaft, a grate coupler, and a spring;
- wherein the rotating charcoal grill is a grill for cooking food over charcoal;
- wherein the support shaft supports the charcoal bowl at a first height above the base;
- wherein a motor located in the base causes a motor shaft to rotate;
- wherein a height adjustment pin on the motor shaft causes rotation of the support shaft and the charcoal bowl when the motor shaft rotates;
- wherein the motor shaft supports the cooking grate at a second height above the base where the second height is larger than the first height;
- wherein the grate coupler rotationally couples the cooking grate to the top of the motor shaft such that the cooking grate is free to rotate atop the motor shaft;
- wherein the difference between the first height and the second height is adjustable such that the cooking grate is brought closer to or farther away from the charcoal bowl;
- wherein an operator panel controls the operation of the motor;
- wherein the operator panel comprises a plurality of controls;
- wherein the plurality of controls comprise a high speed control, a medium speed control, and a low speed control;
- wherein when the high speed control is activated, the motor shaft rotates at the maximum possible speed of rotation;
- wherein when the low speed control is activated, the motor shaft rotates at the minimum possible speed of rotation;
- wherein when the medium speed control is activated, the motor shaft rotates at a speed that is intermediate between the rotational speeds that are associated with the high speed control and the low speed control;
- wherein the bottom of the base is placed upon a horizontal surface to support the rotating charcoal grill;
- wherein the base comprises a battery housing and a motor housing;
- wherein the battery housing covers one or more batteries and wiring;
- wherein the one or more batteries comprise one or more energy-storage devices;
- wherein the one or more batteries are a source of electrical energy to operate the motor;
- wherein the one or more batteries are replaceable or rechargeable.
