Method and apparatus for providing a portable preassembled grill

A method of providing a portable preassembled grill, comprising:

• providing a grill body having a front and rear portions;
• pivotally attaching a first pair of support legs to the front portion of the grill body;
• pivotally attaching a second pair of support legs by pivots to opposing inner sides of a central portion of the first pair of support legs;
• and
• providing a catch at a rear portion of said grill body,
• wherein, in a collapsed state, the first and second pair of support legs extend toward the rear of the grill body and, in an erected state, an upper part of said second pair of support legs engages said catch without tools to form a rigid, raised support base for the grill body,
• and further comprising providing means to secure said second pair of support legs to said grill body when in a collapsed state, wherein said means to secure comprises a rotating latch on said grill body that engages a crossbar spanning said second pair of support legs.

• a second pair of support legs attached by pivots to opposing inner sides of a central portion of the first pair of support legs and dimensioned to nest within said first pair of support legs when collapsed;
• and
• a catch at a rear portion of said grill body,
• wherein said second pair of support legs are formed in an inverted U-shape and further comprise a loop on an upper part of said second pair of support legs, and
• wherein, in a collapsed state, the nested first and second pair of support legs extend toward the rear of the grill body and, in an erected state, said loop engages said catch without tools to form a rigid, raised support base for the grill body.
