Abstract: A hinge is provided for pivotally connecting the bowl and cover of a substantially rectangular portable outdoor grill for cooking. The grill hinge comprises two sets of two hinge members, each set being pivotally attached to opposing sides of the grill. The hinge members are interchangeable between the "left-hand" and "right-hand" sides of the grill. The first and second hinge members of each set pivot in spaced relation to one another between closed and open positions of the cover. When in the open position, the first hinge member of a set bears upon the grill bowl and the second hinge member of the set bears upon the first hinge member over a substantial area to hold the cover in a desired open position.
