Abstract: A multi-purpose gas heated cooking apparatus has a framework rack for holding a cooking container to be heated to cook the container's contents. The cooking apparatus has a shelf which can be positioned in a plurality locations within the framework rack for supporting a cooking container and the cooking apparatus has a centrally positioned hook at the top of the framework for hanging a cooking container such as a hanging kettle. A cooking container supported within the apparatus can be heated with propane gas burned in a specially adapted propane gas burner which itself can at least partially support a cooking container. The shelf and the specially adapted propane burner can be positioned in several different ways depending upon the type of cooking to be done and cooking container to be used. The apparatus can be alternately used for frying, stewing in an old-fashioned type kettle, deep-frying in an old-fashioned type kettle, steaming, or grilling.

Abstract: A combustion heater/pot combination for rapid and efficient heating of liquids and foodstuffs comprises a cylindrical shell enclosing both a heat source and a container whereby products of combustion are constrained to flow through an annular flue defined by the shall wall and the container within and spaced from the shell wall by guide elements. The shell is elevated above a support surface, such as the ground or a hearth, by a plurality of struts, whereby air is admitted to a combustion zone. The struts are releasably engaged to the shell by structures which assure stability of attachment. Combustion air preheat and/or draft control shells resting on the support surface may embrace the shell strut combination for improved efficiency.

Abstract: A portable fluid fueled food cooker has a fuel burner housing which can support and stabilize a wok of the kind having a rounded bottom. In the preferred form, the housing has an annular sidewall encircling a combustion chamber and an apertured inner sleeve having an upper edge that is of smaller diameter than the sidewall and which forms an open centered circular lip proportioned to receive and seat the rounded bottom of the wok. The housing attaches to a post and the post attaches to a base platform having an indentation shaped to receive and seat a pressurized fluid fuel tank. The tank is retained by a clamp arm extending from the post. The housing, post and base are preferably disengagable from each other to facilitate carrying and storage of the cooking apparatus.

Abstract: A portable wood burning fire pit apparatus is disclosed which includes a fire bowl base, a cylindrical wood receiving chamber defined by expanded metal walls above the fire bowl, a pair of separately controlled gas rings encircling the chamber adjacent its side wall at its bottom and middle, a propane gas tank releasably connected to the apparatus and gas rings via a flexible hose and manual quick release coupling. Wood pieces are stacked vertically into the chamber and thus inside the gas rings which, in use, project their flames horizontally toward the stacked wood pieces to advance their burning toward the hot coals state at which time the propane gas and hose may be disconnected and moved away. A removable cooking grill is atop the chamber for use in cooking off the hot coals fire which is achieved in less time than otherwise would be required in a conventional wood fire.

A plurality of radially spaced grate members are positioned adjacent the upper ring for supporting a pot thereupon during use. A plurality of legs are removably connectable to the primary burner frame for supporting the primary burner frame in an elevated position. Connections are provided for removably affixing each leg to the primary burner frame at positions adjacent the upper ring and at the middle portion of the leg and a plurality of spokes discourages lateral movement of the legs at a position below the lower ring.

Abstract: A barbecue grill support frame (1) is provided for mounting onto upper and lower support rails (U, L). An upper frame (3) includes elongate side members (5A, 5B) each of which has a hook shaped inner end (7A, 7B) for attaching the side members to the upper rail and a transverse frame (9) attached to the side members at opposite points. A pair of elongate inclined telescopically adjustable leg members (15A, 15B) are pivotally attached to the side members and brackets (27A, 27B) carried by the lower support rail are pivotally connected to one end of an associated leg member. Auxiliary side panels (31A, 31B) are attachable to each side of the upper frame. In one embodiment the transverse frame includes an elongate member (11) and a circular member (13) and in another embodiment the transverse frame includes a pair of elongate transverse members (111, 113).

Abstract: A portable barbeque grill cart is disclosed having a base portion, two opposing end portions, and optional shelf portions. The two end portions are fabricated having two or more slip sleeve connectors adapted for telescopic interconnection of the base portion of the two end portions, thereby making assembly of the cart simple and expedient.
