Abstract
A portable grill assembly includes a grill grate, a fire tray, the fire tray including a plurality of holes, a plate configured to be secured to the fire tray, a gap created between the plate and the fire tray to enable a uniform flow of oxygen to pass through the gap on all sides of the fire tray into the holes and a grid pattern extending upward from the fire tray to elevate a fuel over the holes, and a support stake. The support stake includes at least one coupler to secure multiple sections of the support stake, the coupler includes a lip to prevent movement of sections of the support stake relative to the coupler. The support stake is configured to secure and position the fire tray a distance above the ground and to secure and position the grill grate a distance above the fire tray.
Claims17
A portable grill assembly comprising:
- a grill grate;
- a fire tray, said fire tray including:
- a plurality of holes, said holes configured to allow the flow of oxygen into said fire tray;
- a plate, said plate configured to be secured to a bottom surface of said fire tray by a single post, said post being positioned at the center of said plate and said bottom surface;
- a gap, said gap being created between said plate and said bottom surface of said fire tray by a length of said post to enable a uniform flow of oxygen to pass through said gap on all sides of said fire tray into said holes;
- and
- a grid pattern, said grid pattern being integrated within said bottom surface of said fire tray and configured to extend upward from said bottom surface of said fire tray such that a fuel is elevated over said holes to enable a uniform flow of oxygen through said gap, said holes and to the fuel;
- a support stake, said support stake including at least one coupler configured to secure multiple sections of said support stake, said coupler including a lip, said lip configured within the interior diameter of said coupler to prevent movement of sections of said support stake relative to said coupler;
- and
- wherein said support stake is configured to secure and position said fire tray a distance above the ground and said support stake is configured to secure and position said grill grate a distance above said fire tray;
- a flame tube, said flame tube including:
- a plurality of holes;
- a connector, said connector configured to be connected to a fuel source by a pipe;
- and wherein said flame tube is generally circular in shape and said flame tube is configured to be connected between said bottom surface of said fire tray and said plate by said post such that an air gap is created between said flame tube and said bottom surface of said fire tray by the length of said post to enable a uniform flow of oxygen, fuel and flames to pass into said holes.

A portable grill assembly for elevating a fire a distance above the ground, said portable grill assembly comprising:
- a grill grate, said grill grate including:
- an outer ring;
- an upper ring;
- at least one support post, said support post configured to position said upper ring above said outer ring;
- at least one support dowel;
- at least one anchor rod;
- and
- a plurality of rods extending generally parallel to one another across said at least one support dowel and intersecting said outer ring;
- a fire tray, said fire tray including:
- a plurality of holes, said holes configured to allow the flow of oxygen into said fire tray;
- a plate, said plate configured to be secured to a bottom surface of said fire tray by a single post, said post being positioned at the center of said plate and said bottom surface;
- a gap, said gap being created between said plate and said bottom surface of said fire tray by a length of said post to enable a uniform flow of oxygen to pass through said gap on all sides of said fire tray into said holes;
- and
- a grid pattern, said grid pattern being integrated within said bottom surface of said fire tray and configured to extend upward from said bottom surface of said fire tray such that a fuel is elevated over said holes to enable a uniform flow of oxygen through said gap, said holes and to the fuel;
- a support stake, said support stake including at least one coupler configured to secure multiple sections of said support stake, said coupler including a lip, said lip configured within the interior diameter of said coupler to prevent movement of sections of said support stake relative to said coupler;
- and
- wherein said support stake is configured to secure and position said fire tray a distance above the ground and said support stake is configured to secure and position said grill grate a distance above said fire tray;
- a flame tube, said flame tube including:
- a plurality of holes;
- a connector, said connector configured to be connected to a fuel source by a pipe;
- and wherein said flame tube is generally circular in shape and said flame tube is configured to be connected between said bottom surface of said fire tray and said plate by said post such that an air gap is created between said flame tube and said bottom surface of said fire tray by the length of said post to enable a uniform flow of oxygen, fuel and flames to pass into said holes.
