Abstract: A portable, charcoal-burning heater for out-of-door use comprises a body with a lid. Inside the body is a charcoal-supporting grill above a pull-out ash drawer and a cooking grill above the charcoal-supporting grill. Both grills rest on ledges that also provide structural support to preserve the shape of the body after prolonged, repeated use. Vents on the ends of the body and in the lid enable air to flow across the coals. Insulated handles for the lid and body, an insulated, recessed drawer and insulated feet prevent injury and damage from heat to the user or the surface on which the heater is placed.
