Abstract: The fireplace grill features dual purpose legs which are inverted to snap over a lid holding the entire unit together for compact storage and transport. Under normal operating condition, the legs are inverted and are deployed downwardly and outwardly to raise the fireplace above the ground.

Abstract: A barbecue adapted for portability and being gas-fired. A parallel smoker plate assembly intermediate a gas burner and a cooking plane enhances heat transfer to provide even cooking heat across the entire cooking area. Each of two parallel plates in the smoker plate assembly have offset aperture patterns that facilitate the transfer of heat while preventing the accumulation of liquids from any food in the combustion chamber. A burner assembly with an open-ended tube receives fuel from a pressurized gas bottle having a regulator and discharge tube that readily connects to a detaches from one end of the barbecue. When detached, the gas bottle, regulator and discharge tube stow readily within the barbecue. Integral, pivotal leg structures lying within the combustion chamber shift between stowed positions where they are positioned interiorly of the exterior surface of a barbecue and supporting positions where they stably support the barbecue on a surface.

Abstract: A smokestack including an elongated tube means having an open bottom end for receiving smoke emanating from a campfire and an open top end for releasing the smoke into the atmosphere, and a base for supporting the tube means with its open bottom end directly above the campfire and defining openings that provide physical and visual access thereto. The elongated tube comprises a plurality of tube sections distributed along a longitudinal axis and having ends joined to form a composite tube.

Abstract: A freestanding stove is provided including an elevated firebox mounted atop a tubular pedestal having a horizontally enlarged downwardly opening hollow base at its lower end. The firebox includes a combustion air inlet opening downwardly into the pedestal and the lower end of the pedestal opens downwardly into the hollow base which includes a damper for controlling the flow of combustion air from within the hollow base into the lower end of the pedestal. The base includes feet supporting the base a spaced distance above a horizontal surface upon which the feet rest and the feet are removable whereby the base may rest directly upon and over a horizontal support surface upwardly through which a combustion air opening is formed. The front of the firebox includes an openable transparent window equipped door and combustion air inlet passage structure for sweeping curtains of combustion air across the inner surface of the window from selected marginal portions thereof.

Abstract: A multiple position leg assembly for a heat exchange unit is disclosed. A support surface has a pair of slots which coact with a leg such that the leg has a shipping position wherein it does not extend beyond the bottom of the unit and has a support position wherein it is securely fastened in the slots of the support surface to maintain the unit a preselected distance from a mounting structure. The leg is designed such that internal forces act to secure narrowed portions of the leg in the slots to provide a secure support for the unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fixed device of folding leg in which a U-shaped frame of a folding means may be sturdily pressed and fixed by means of a fixed device which may also substantially integrate a roaster oven with the supporting legs thereof to stabilize said oven when the supporting legs are at a standing position.

Abstract: An outdoor cooking grill for charcoal cooking and the like, including a generally rectangular fire box having a bottom wall normally disposed in a horizontal position and sidewalls provided with front and rear vertically extending slots for receiving front and rear leg portions of handles extending from opposite ends of a grating member to permit vertical adjustment of the position of the grating member. The front and rear slots have vertically spaced notches for receiving the handle legs and supporting the grating at different vertical positions, and the front slots open through the top edge of the end walls while the rear slots are closed at the top edge so that the grating may be swung about the rear handle legs to an inclined tilted position relative to the bottom wall of the fire box. The firebox is supported by a swivel coupling on a vertical pedestal which permits tilting movement of the firebox about a horizontal axis to a forwardly and downwardly inclined tilted position.

Abstract: A folding means for supporting legs of roaster oven with high stability comprises: an oven body, an oven belly extending from the oven bottom, two tongue plates extending from both sides of said belly and two sets of folding means of supporting legs each pivotally connected on two sides of said oven belly. Said folding means of supporting legs comprises an U-shaped frame of which two sides of said U-shaped frame are freely and pivotally connected onto each end of the belly and said U-shaped frame can be parallelly pressed onto said tongue plate and be fixed by a fixing screw on the front portion of said U-shaped frame. Said U-shaped frame and the tongue plate are assembled so as to combine the oven with the extendable supporting legs to form an integrated oven.

Abstract: A portable barbecue having brackets for adjustably supporting the barbecue grid removably attached to the barbecue bowl solely by interengagement between the bowl and the brackets without any additional fastening or mounting members. Each of the brackets is insertable through a horizontal slot in the vertical upwardly extending sides of the barbecue bowl. The brackets are formed so as to provide biasing means which urge an upper notched portion of the bracket into vertical alignment with the sides of the bowl and the other end of the bracket into engagement with the bottom of the barbecue bowl. In one embodiment the other end of the bracket is extended so as to form short legs which are integral with the grid supporting bracket for maintaining the barbecue a short distance above the ground or other supporting surface such as a picnic table. Another embodiment has a separate tripod leg assembly for supporting the barbecue bowl above the ground at approximately the user's waist level.
