A cooking station for cooking a food product, comprising:
- a main body having a vertically extending wall extending between a closed bottom end and a pivotable lid at an upper end, the vertically extending wall extending to at least partially define a cooking chamber within the main body and extending laterally to define a generally flat portion along a front side of the main body, the flat portion of the main body defining a first opening and a second opening therein, the first opening being positioned at a lower portion of the main body and the second opening being positioned above the first opening of the main body, the flat portion of the vertically extending wall defining a notch therein, the notch positioned between the first and second openings, the main body including a door with a door tab, the door tab extending outward from the door, the door vertically movable along and behind the vertically extending wall of the main body to close-off either the first opening or the second opening such that the door tab is vertically moveable adjacent the notch defined in the vertically extending wall;
- and
- a container sized to be removably positioned within either one of the first opening and the second opening such that, upon the container being positioned in the first opening, the door is vertically slidable to be positioned to close-off the second opening and, upon the container being positioned in the second opening, the door is vertically slidable to be positioned to close-off the first opening, the container having heating element structure therewith and configured to deliver heat to a food product positioned in the cooking chamber.
A cooking station system for cooking a food product, comprising:
- a main body having a vertically extending wall extending between a closed bottom end and an upper end with a lid, the vertically extending wall extending laterally to define a generally flat portion along a front side of the main body, the main body including a lower opening and an upper opening each defined in the generally flat portion of the vertically extending wall, the generally flat portion of the vertically extending wall defining a notch therein, the notch positioned between the lower and upper openings, the main body including a moveable door with a door tab, the door tab extending outward from the moveable door, the door moveable adjacent the vertically extending wall to close-off either the lower and upper opening such that the door tab is moveable through the notch defined in the vertically extending wall;
- and
- a first insert sized and configured to be removably positioned within either one of the lower opening and the upper opening such that, upon the first insert being positioned in the lower opening, the moveable door is positioned to close-off the upper opening and, upon the first insert being positioned in the upper opening, the moveable door is positionable to close-off the lower opening, the first insert having heating element container structure configured to deliver heat to the food product.
A cooking station system for cooking a food product, comprising:
- a main body having a vertically extending wall extending between a closed bottom end and an upper end with a lid, the vertically extending wall including a lower opening and an upper opening each defined in a front side of the vertically extending wall of the main body, the vertically extending wall defining a notch therein, the notch positioned between the lower and upper openings, the main body including a moveable door with a door tab, the door tab extending outward from the moveable door, the moveable door positionable behind the vertically extending wall to close-off either one of the lower and upper openings such that the door tab is moveable adjacent to the notch defined in the vertically extending wall;
- and
- a container sized and configured to be removably positioned within either one of the lower opening and the upper opening such that, upon the container being positioned in the lower opening, the moveable door is positionable to close-off the upper opening and, upon the container being positioned in the upper opening, the moveable door is positionable to close-off the lower opening, the container having heating element container structure configured to deliver heat to the food product.
