Abstract
The present application is directed to a Combination Fire Pit, Grill, Pizza Oven and Cooking Wok. More particularly, a combination fire pit, grill, pizza oven and cooking wok assembly is provided in a single unit. When the combination fire pit, grill, pizza oven and cooking wok unit is in storage or being transported, the wok top is inverted and secured to the unit. When in use as a fire pit, the wok lid is taken off. When in use as a cooking wok, the cooking wok lid is taken off the unit, inverted to be cook-side up, then placed back on the unit when the cooking fire is started. When in use as a pizza oven, the cooking wok is left on the fire barrel in the upside down position covering a pizza stone. Alternatively, just the grill grate can be used to cook food items by grilling.
