Instead of the usual gas burner or grate for charcoal there is provided control mechanisms for adjusting the rate of combustion for the solidified or semisolidified fuel.
Claims16
A solidified or semisolidified fuel barbecue grill apparatus comprising:
- a base member having a support portion constructed and arranged to support a cooking grid member;
- solidified or semisolidified fuel support means connected to said base member to position solidified or semisolidified fuel below said grid member;
- said support means including a fuel support member for said solidified or semisolidified fuel, said fuel support member having an open top portion and further including a tubular member rotatably portioned over said support member, said tubular member having a series of ports therein to adjustably expose said fuel to atmosphere upon rotation thereof and adjustably regulate the temperature of a flame from said fuel with respect to said cooking grid member upon rotation of said tubular member;
- vent means operatively associated with said base member to permit outside air to contact said fuel;
- and
- a vented cover member supported by said base member and dimensioned to enclose a top of said base member.
A base member for a barbecue grill wherein the source of heat for said barbecue grill is solidified or semisolidified fuel comprising:
- a housing member having a floor portion and constructed and arranged to support a cooking grid member and a grate member below said grid member for supporting noncombustible briquettes;
- fuel support means connected to said base member to position solidified or semisolidified fuel below said grate member for said briquettes;
- said fuel support means including a fuel support member for said solidified or semisolidified fuel, said fuel support member having an open top portion and further including a tubular member rotatably positioned over said support member, said tubular member having a series of ports therein to adjustably expose said fuel to atmosphere upon rotation thereof and adjustably regulate the temperature of a flame from said fuel with respect to said grate member upon rotation of said tubular member;
- and
- vent means operatively associated with said base member to permit outside air to contact said fuel.
The barbecue grill apparatus according to claim wherein said fuel support member is connected and fixed to said base member.
A solidified or semisolidified fuel barbecue grill apparatus comprising;
- a base member having a support portion constructed and arranged to support a cooking grid member;
- solidified or semisolidified tubular fuel support means rotatably connected to said base member to position solidified or semisolidified fuel below said grid member;
- said tubular support means including ports to adjustably regulate the temperature of a flame from said fuel with respect to said cooking grid member upon rotation of said tubular support means;
- a know member connected to said support means;
- connecting means operatively associated with said knob member and said base member to connect said knob member to said base member and provide rotatable retention of said knob member thereon;
- vent means operatively associated with said base member to permit outside air to contact said fuel;
- and
- a vented cover member supported by said base member and dimensioned to enclose a top of said base member.
