Abstract: A charcoal broiler is disclosed which includes a housing having first and second sets of legs adapted to support the broiler between alternate horizontal and vertical orientations. The broiler includes a fuel-containing basket which is supported within the housing in spaced, parallel relationship with one sidewall in a manner such that the fuel is held away from the walls of the housing to facilitate air circulation for rapid burning. A hood is mounted on the housing for pivotal movement to and from an open top of the housing, with adjustable lock means being provided to selectively control the amount of opening between the hood and housing for controlling the air draft. Adjustable vents are provided in the housing for further control of the air draft. A grid-like tray is provided for supporting food above the basket when the housing is in its horizontal orientation, and a spit is provided for supporting food in the housing with the hood substantially closed when the housing is in its vertical orientation.
