A grill system comprising:
- a grate comprising a plurality of grill members, the grate comprising
- a stationary region, and
- a chute aperture;
- and
- a chute comprising a tubular shape, a chute top portion, and a chute bottom portion;
- wherein the chute engages the grate by traversing through the chute aperture;
