Abstract: A cooking stone apparatus with a rotatable cooking surface for use in conventional ovens, barbecue grills and the like includes a stationary bottom support plate and a cooking stone rotatably supported on top of the stationary bottom support plate. The cooking stone has a perimeter edge with one or more engagement points for receiving a tangential force without slippage, such that when a tangential force is applied to any of the one or more engagement points, the cooking stone rotates about the perpendicular axis of the support plate.

Abstract: An apparatus for converting a barbecue into a pizza cooking oven includes an open door frame and vertical side panels pivotally attached to the vertical side posts of the open door frame. The side panels can be pivotally adjusted on the open door frame to extend rearward of the open door frame at different pivot positions. When the side panels are extended rearward of the open door frame, the bottom edges of the side panels provide a support base for setting the apparatus onto the top rim of a bottom bowl of a barbecue and the top edges of the side panels support a cover of a barbecue in an elevated position above the bottom bowl of the barbecue. The elevation of the cover creates an expanded cooking chamber above the bottom bowl of the barbecue and the open door frame provides access to the expanded cooking chamber.

Abstract: A cooking utensil for flavoring a whole bird with salt includes a salt block configured to fit into the body cavity of a bird and a base pan having a salt block holder for holding the salt block in an upright position on the base pan. A whole bird can be placed over the upright salt block in the pan such that the salt block inserts into the body cavity of the bird. The cooking utensil holds a whole bird upright and at the same time adds salt flavor to the bird as it is being cooked.

Abstract: A smoker box and humidifier for a barbecue grill has a container body having a top and at least one and preferably a plurality of top opening at its top. Isolated compartments are provided in the container body. At least one of the isolated compartments is capable of holding wood chips or the like for producing a flavoring smoke, and at least one of compartments is capable of holding a liquid separate from but in close proximity to the wood chips or the like. The compartments in the container body are positioned such that, when the smoker box is heated, both the flavoring smoke and moistening vapors produced in the compartments of the container body circulate up through the top openings in the top of said container body. The container body can include a drawer with isolated compartments, which can be pulled out to replenish spent wood chips and fluids.
