Abstract

Grills configured with adjustable and moveable radiant barriers may include a body, a lid, a cooking grate, a combustion space within the body and two plates making up part of the adjustable and moveable radiant barriers. The first plate may include openings through which radiant heat may pass and the second plate may have similar openings. The lid and the body may form a cooking enclosure with the interior cooking grate being substantially parallel to both the first plate and the second plate. The two plates may be configured to move relative to one another such that the openings may alternatingly align and offset creating an adjustable rate of transmission of thermal radiation between the combustion space and the cooking grate. The plates of the radiant barriers may further be configured to move together relative to the body of the grill thereby varying the rate of transmission of thermal radiation between the combustion space and the cooking grate.
