Abstract: A barbecue grill has a bottom casting formed with a flange portion along its periphery. The flange portion extends up at an angle between approximately thirty and forty-five degrees from a cooking grate so that grease produced while cooking may be directed into the bottom casting, through an aperture in the bottom casting, and into a grease collection cup. The grease collection cup is mounted to the bottom casting in a manner which permits the tilting of the cup relative to the bottom casting. The periphery of the bottom casting is formed with an upstanding tongue which is received within a groove formed in a hood of the barbecue grill. The groove defines an inner leg for directing grease into the grill and an outer leg for directing water away from the inside of the grill.

Abstract: For use in a gas barbecue, a pair of smoke generating plates (18L and 18R) are mounted in an anticline arrangement between the gas burner (12) and the cooking grid. Drippings from the food will be vaporized into smoke upon falling onto the hot plates, thereby generating smoke which envelops and penetrates the food on the grill, imparting to it a desirable smoky flavor. The plates are mounted upon a bent wire stand (20) which rests upon the floor of the barbecue and extends around and over the burner. The stand has a center peak (20C) over the burner and shoulders at the sides so as to support the plates in the anticline arrangement.

Abstract: A smoker insert for a gas barbecue comprises a drip pan designed to be supported by the lower grate of a gas barbecue, and a vertical baffle extending from the drip pan upwards to subdivide the cooking compartment. The drip pan is sized to fit on about 1/2 of the lower grate area so that the baffle subdivides the cooking compartment about in half. The baffle occupies a very substantial portion of the cross-section of the cooking compartment so that the side and top edges of the baffle are close to the inner surfaces of the lower shell and the closed barbecue lid. By this arrangement, a small clearance is provided around the drip pan and the baffle, between the insert and the inner surfaces of the lower shell and closed lid. A flame suppressor is provided to control flames and flame-ups.

Abstract: This invention is a barbecue type grill that can be used either indoors or outdoors. By disposing a convertible drip pan that can be opened and closed between the food supporting rack and the cooking heat source, rapid preheating can be accomplished as well as searing of desired food products, followed by closing of the drip pan to prevent unwanted flare-ups caused by juices dripping from the food being cooked. This closing of the drip pan allows the food to cook slower than over direct heat which allows the food to retain more juices when done. This invention overcomes the slow preheating and slow initial cooking inherent in the prior art using a solid impervious drip pan. Also, since different types of heat sources can be used in conjunction with the present invention, the problem of the bottom of the housing rusting out in the area adjacent the round burner below the heat deflecting plate is effectively eliminated.
