Abstract: A method and apparatus for cooking includes an apparatus convertible from a grill to a bake oven. The apparatus has a fire box positioned below a grill and incorporates a closed chamber supported on the fire box and enclosing the grill. A pivotable plate is mounted immediately below the grill and is pivotable between a vertical position and a horizontal position. In the horizontal position, the plate is latchable below the grill so as to separate the grill from the fire box. In this horizontal position, the closed grill chamber functions as an oven. When the pivotable plate is dropped into the vertical position, the grill is in direct communication with the fire box and can be used in a normal grill fashion.
