Abstract
A side cooker apparatus for a gas-fired grill which is detachably secured at one side of the grill by a pair of substantially parallel, spaced apart bars which are attached to the framework of the side cooker apparatus and extend into a pair of correspondingly spaced apart channels which form part of a framework for the gas-fired grill. A safety barrier may be provided for retaining cooking utensils on the side cooker.
Claims21
A side cooker apparatus on a gas-fired grill having a fuel supply means and a housing defining a compartment with a main gas burner and including a front wall opposite to a rear wall, said apparatus comprising:
- a pair of substantially parallel bars, each of said bars having a holding portion and a projecting portion;
- an auxiliary gas burner supported between said holding portions of said bars;
- and,
- a pair of channel members fixedly mounted on said housing and each extending along a corresponding one of said opposing front and rear walls of said housing, said channel members being dimensioned for slidably receiving therein said projecting portions of said bars so that said auxiliary gas burner is detachably mounted on said gas-fired grill in a cantilevered position to one side of said housing.
In combination with a gas-fired grill apparatus having a compartment with a main gas burner defined by a housing with a front wall opposite to a rear wall, means mounting an auxiliary burner to one side of said housing comprising:
- a pair of substantially parallel bars wherein each of said bars has a holding portion and a projecting portion;
- a side cooker frame supporting said auxiliary burner;
- means for connecting said frame between said holding portions of said bars;
- and,
- a pair of channel members fixedly mounted on said housing and each extending along a corresponding one of said opposing front and rear walls of said housing, said channel members being dimensioned for slidably receiving said projecting portions of said bars so that said side cooker frame is detachably mounted on said gas-fired grill in said cantilevered position to one side of said housing.
A gas-fired grill apparatus comprising:
