Abstract: A barbecue in one embodiment includes a rectangular firepot including four legs extended downward from its four bottom corners, a rectangular top plate on either side, a first space at either side of the firepot for containing fuel, a second space confined between the first spaces and having a V-shaped bottom, and a grease pan under the bottom and being in fluid communication with the second space; and a rectangular grate fitted on a top of the second space and disposed between the plates. In use foodstuffs are placed on the grate such that burning the fuel will cook the foodstuffs with grease dropped from the foodstuffs on the bottom and flowed into the grease pan for collection. Generated smoke is decreased to a minimum because the grease drops do not fall on the burning fuel.
