Barbecue device

Abstract

A barbecue device includes an oven container having a top, bottom, opposite sides, opposite ends, and a centrally disposed cooking zone wherein foods are suspended. One or more bins for holding combustible materials are mounted on sides and yet laterally removed from underneath the cooking zone so as to prevent liquids from dripping off of the suspended foods and falling upon the combustible materials. The bins are easily accessible when rigidly and obliquely mounted to extend inside the oven container through an aperture in the side. The portions of the bins facing inward are permeable to smoke and heat while the outwardly facing portions are not. The oblique angle of the bins allow the combustible materials therein to provide an even source of heat to the food, particularly when the food is suspending in rotating rotisserie baskets. A hinged lid and handle facilitate the loading and unloading of the bins. The barbecue device disclosed herein is adaptable to many types of barbecue ovens including, but not limited to, those having rotisseries, stationary grill racks, or an interchangeable combination thereof.
