Abstract: A removable ash collector is for use with barbecue grills having a central ash discharge opening, the grill being supported by outwardly and downwardly extending legs. The ash collector includes a conical support ring, having a downwardly and inwardly sloping inner surface, and a catch basin removably mounted beneath the support ring. The support ring has J-shaped slots in its upper edge by which the ring is mounted to the legs. The support ring acts as a guide for ashes discharged from the ash discharge opening and as the support element for the ash catch basin. The catch basin has a number of generally L-shaped hooks extending from its upper rim which engage appropriately shaped hook supports mounted to the support ring. This permits a catch basin filled with ashes to be removed without the mess or bother associated with conventional ash catchers of the type mounted directly to the legs.
