Abstract: A cooking device may be for a solid-fuel cooker that includes a firebox for carrying solid-fuel therein and having a base and at least one sidewall extending upwardly from the base, and a cooking plate to be carried adjacent the firebox and defining a cooking surface. The cooking device may include a tubular fuel container for carrying the solid-fuel therein, and to be carried within the firebox and spaced inwardly from the at least one sidewall. The tubular fuel container has upper and lower open ends adjacent the cooking surface and the base of the solid-fuel cooker, respectively. The cooking device may also include a solid cover carried by the upper open end of the tubular fuel container.

Abstract: A cooking device may be for a solid-fuel cooker that includes a firebox, a cooking plate carried adjacent an open upper end of the firebox and defining a cooking surface, and a lid to be carried by a sidewall of the firebox over the cooking surface. The cooking device may include a fuel container for carrying the solid-fuel therein and to be carried within the firebox spaced inwardly from the sidewall. The fuel container may include a tubular lower body having opposing open ends and a lower body sidewall having a plurality of air openings therein, and a tapered upper body having a larger open end open toward and spaced below the cooking surface and a smaller open end coupled to an open end of the tubular lower body. A solid cover may be carried by the larger open end of the tapered upper body.

Abstract: A cooking device may be for a solid-fuel cooker that may include a firebox for carrying solid-fuel therein and having a base and a sidewall extending upwardly from the base, and a cooking plate defining a first cooking surface. The cooking device may include a tubular fuel container for carrying the solid-fuel therein, and to be carried within the firebox and spaced inwardly from the sidewall. The tubular fuel container may have upper and lower open ends. A solid cover may be carried by the upper open end and may include a cover base having opposing first and second surfaces. The first surface may define a second cooking surface, which may be coupled to the upper open end to define an air seal therewith. A cover sidewall may extend upwardly from the first surface to carry the cooking plate in spaced relation from the cover base.
