    Abstract: A fire pit grilling apparatus is provided. The grilling apparatus provides an adjustable grill mountable over a fire pit. The apparatus includes a frame having a pair of elongated members interconnected by a crossbar. The crossbar is rotatably coupled to ends of the elongated members such that it can rotate relative thereto. An adjustable harness couples a grill grate to the crossbar and includes a cable affixed to tethers which suspend the grill grate in a level position. A hand crank coupled to the crossbar rotates the crossbar. Rotation of the hand crank in a first direction winds the harness around the crossbar while rotation of the hand crank in a second direction unwinds the harness from the crossbar. Winding and unwinding the harness decreases and increases the height of the grill grate, respectively, relative to a surface such that a desired height over a fire pit may be achieved.
