Abstract: A brazier for cooking foodstuffs includes a support for the foodstuffs that is mounted on a swivelling frame in such a way as to be able to turn around its own axis, in front of a source of heat, when operated by a drive mechanism. The swivelling frame turns around an axis that is placed at a certain distance from, and parallel to, the axis of the support, and the support is attached to a cross bar whose end parts move alternately along a fixed track when the support is turned around its axis. This causes the frame to swivel around its own axis.
