Abstract: The apparatus is multifunctional in that it can be transported, readily and safely, from place to place by means of a vehicle. The transportable barbecue apparatus is detachably attachable to a land vehicle having connection means at the rear thereof, such as a receiver hitch on the rear bumper. The apparatus comprises a barbecue cooker and an support arm, most preferably an articulated support arm, having an inner end portion whereby the arm can be detachably secured at its inner end portion to the connection means so that the apparatus is held above ground level at the rear of the vehicle. Preferably, when the arm is detachably secured in this manner, the arm projects rearwardly from the vehicle in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the rear bumper. The apparatus, supported by the arm, can be utilized with a stand whereby it becomes a stand alone barbecue cooker.
