US 2024/0225354 A1 · RECONFIGURABLE BARBEQUE COOKER

Abstract

A barbeque cooker in which the food stays at a predetermined level and a fire tray assembly can be adjusted as to vertical position relative to the food. The fire tray assembly includes two spaced apart parallel fire trays (for holding burning fuel) that are independently adjustable as to horizontal position. Vertical and horizontal adjustments are accomplished with hand cranks making for precise adjustments. The vertical adjustment hand crank operates a scissor jack assembly. A drip tray is attached to the top of the scissor jack assembly. The fire tray assembly is attached to and vertically spaced apart from the drip tray, allowing space for the horizontal adjustment screws. The scissor jack assembly is attached to front and rear end frames, each having a top portion configured to support a rotisserie and to support a grill. Two embodiments are presented, having different configurations of the horizontal adjustment screw assemblies.
