Abstract: A modular outdoor cooking system having a base, a lid pivotally connected to the base, and a set of cooking components. The cooking components include a charcoal grate component, a gas burner component, and a grill rack component. The base includes a series of first horizontal supports extending from an inner surface of a first side panel and a series of second horizontal supports extending from an inner surface of a second side panel. The first side panel is parallel to the second side panel. Each first horizontal support is vertically aligned with a second horizontal support creating aligned pairs of horizontal supports. The base also includes an upper support ledge extending along the first and second side panels and a back panel. Each cooking component may be temporarily positioned on an aligned pair of horizontal supports or the upper support ledge for adjustable cooking methods.
