Abstract

In various embodiments a gas and ceramic grill combination is provided. The assembly includes a cart adapted to receive a Kamado grill. Additionally the assembly is adapted to provide a gas burner grill, storage, and removable flip-up side shelves. A sear burner is provided for some embodiments. In at least one embodiment the frame structure for the combination may be configured for separation and combining of the gas grill frame and the charcoal grill frame. The combination grill is one integrally formed structure in one embodiment. In an alternative embodiment, the combination grill includes two separate structures that are adapted to be joined one to another.
