Abstract
A barbecue grill is set forth to enhance ease of use, cleaning, and optional use of pressurized fuel or charcoal briquettes. The grill utilizes a plurality of removable burners operably associated with fuel conduits of a propane-type storage tank. Underlying the burners is a slidably mounted drip tray that may be further utilized as a support for charcoal briquettes upon removal of the burner units, which are also slidably mounted within the framework of the barbecue grill. Additionally, a wind panel utilizing hingedly mounted side panels surrounds the central cooking grid and a series of circular burners. Further, the organization includes a telescopingly mounted lower leg overlying a fixed upper leg with a storage shelf rigidly mounted to the lower legs for compact storage of the organization.

A barbecue grill comprising,
- a horizontal support framework with a cooking grid mounted thereon,
- and a support frame underlying the support framework to define a rectangular parallelepiped configuration,
- and a plurality of burner units each mounted within the support frame,
- and a drip pan underlying the burner units and slidingly mounted within the support frame,
- and plural pairs of fixed legs integrally secured to the support frame and directed orthogonally downwardly therefrom, and each fixed leg cooperatingly secured to a further leg,
- and wherein each further leg telescopingly receives a fixed leg with a clamp member directed through each further leg to secure each fixed leg relatively thereto in a preselected orientation,
- and including a planar storage shelf integrally secured to each further leg and extending beyond a plurality of further legs beyond the support frame, and a pressurized fuel tank supported on the support shelf,
- and including a rectangular support bracket aligned with and directed outwardly of the support framework overlying the support shelf, and the support framework including a utility board fixedly secured thereon, and a plurality of utensil hooks integrally secured to side wall of the utility board, and a spice rack integrally secured to a forward wall of the support bracket directed orthogonally downwardly therefrom with a plurality of spaced shelves integrally formed to the spice rack,
- and wherein each of the burner units are slidingly mounted within the support frame, and each burner unit includes a handle fixedly secured to a forward wall thereon,
- and wherein each burner unit includes a burner conduit slidably receiving a fluid nozzle therewithin when each burner unit is secured within the support framework,
- and wherein a burner control unit is fixedly mounted to the support framework wherein each burner unit includes a fuel conduit directed from the fuel tank to the burner control unit, and the burner control unit includes an individual further fluid conduit with a valve associated therewith directed from the burner control unit to the fluid nozzle,
- and including a plurality of circular burners, with each circular burner including an individual burner control secured onto the support frame adjacent the cooking grid,
