1. A cooking system for use with a solid fuel, the system comprising:
- an elongate combustion tube configured for upstanding orientation such that air flows substantially upwardly therethrough, said tube including an air intake section defined by a plurality of adjustable intake flaps which provide air intake passages therebetween, an elongate fuel containment section defined by a continuous surface structure having first and second ends, and an outflow section defined by a plurality of adjustable outflow flaps which provide air outflow passages therebetween; and
an annular tray extending perimetrically about said fire chamber;
said intake flaps extending perimetrically from said first end of said fuel containment section to provide a combustion tube footprint and said outflow flaps extending perimetrically from said second end of said fuel containment section to support a cooking utensil on an upper perimeter defined by said outflow flaps.

Abstract
The invention relates to an outdoor cooking system which is portable and collapsible, and which is adaptable for use as a fuel ignitor, as a food warmer and as a cook stove. The system includes an upstanding combustion tube which incorporates an elongate, tubular fire chamber and a plurality of flaps extending perimetrically from at least one of the fire chamber'"'"'s ends. The flaps are pivotally adjustable so as to accommodate control over the fire chamber'"'"'s intake and outflow of air. Food is cooked using a conventional cooking utensil which rests across the upper opening of the tube. A radial tray extends about the perimeter of the fire chamber.

2. A cooking system for use in igniting and burning a solid fuel to cook food held by a cooking utensil, the system comprising:
-
an elongate combustion tube configured for upstanding orientation, said tube including an elongate fuel containment section having a continuous surface structure which defines a fire chamber capable of containing ignited solid fuel, an air intake section having a plurality of pivotally adjustable intake flaps which extend downwardly from a first end of said fuel containment section selectively to define variable-size air intake passages therebetween, and an outflow section having a plurality of pivotally adjustable outflow flaps which extend upwardly from a second end of said fuel containment section to support the cooking utensil and selectively to define variable-size air outflow passages therebetween; and a substantially horizontal annular tray extending perimetrically from said fuel containment section approximately at an interface between said fire chamber and said intake flaps to define a secondary cooking surface for the system. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5)
