  • Patent number: 5419249
    Abstract: A barbecue grill unit having a plurality of elongated food support units extending transversely across the open top portion of the grill body. The food support units are each simultaneously rotatable about their respective longitudinal axes. The grill unit further includes a selectively positionable rotisserie assembly, and a plurality of longitudinally elongated heat controlling louvers extending in side by side relation longitudinally across the grill body. The louvers are positioned between the rotatable food support units and the heat generation means and are manually, simultaneously rotatable about their respective longitudinal axes thereby permitting selective control of the amount of convective heat passing from the heat generation means to the food support units.
