Abstract
A grill system includes a grill frame and a cooking surface attached to the grill frame. The grill system also includes a solid fuel compartment positioned proximate to the cooking surface. The grill system additionally includes a burner positioned below the solid fuel compartment. Cooking may be accomplished by alternately using only the burner, using only solid fuel placed in the solid fuel compartment, and using both the burner and the solid fuel placed in the solid fuel compartment to heat a common area of the cooking surface without modifying an arrangement of the solid fuel compartment and the burner.
