  • Patent number: 4930491
    Abstract: A cooking grill designed to overlie a conventional outdoor barbecue is disclosed having a portable, unitary cooking surface that includes both a griddle section and a charbroil section to allow for the simultaneous and efficient frying and charbroiling of food over the barbecue. Preferably, depending arms are attached to the underside of the unitary cooking surface and are spaced to support the surface when removed from the barbecue such that the surface may be used to serve cooked food. The downwardly depending arms are also located and sized to prevent lateral movement of the cooking surface relative to the conventional barbecue when the surface overlies the barbecue. Additional features of the portable grill include an upwardly extending circumferential lip about each of the griddle section and the charbroil section to facilitate the retention of food on the cooking surface and a unique detachably connectable handle means for moving the cooking surface.
