Abstract: A bowl 10 and lid 11 of a barbecue are pressed from sheets of steel using press tools (not shown). Surplus steel, which occurs at the corners of the bowl 10 and lid 11 during pressing, is accommodated in elongate channels 14 which project into the bowl 10 and lid 11 and which appear as recesses on the outside of the bowl 10 and lid 11. The channel 14 extends substantially all the way around the undersurface of the bowl 10 but is not of uniform depth all the way around. Instead the depth of the channel 14 is increased at certain points to form shoulders which in use support first and second grill portions which should themselves respectively support portions of food to be cooked and simulated solid fuel.
