Abstract: A cooking apparatus includes a frame having first and second side walls and having first and second end walls joining the first and second side walls. A first divider wall spans between the first and second side walls and divides the frame into first and second cooking zones. The first zone is particularly adapted for deep frying foods and the second zone is particularly adapted for grilling foods. A second divider wall spans between the first end wall and the first divider wall and divides the first cooking zone into first and second containers for holding a cooking liquid such as cooking oil. A first heat exchanger includes a first horizontally oriented tube portion located within the first container and extending through the first end wall and the first divider wall above a bottom of the first container.
