Abstract

A new outdoor adjustable grill for grilling over an open wood fire with numerous options. The inventive device includes a circular grill portion having four circular sleeves secured to an outer periphery thereof. The four circular sleeves are disposed at ninety degree intervals. The circular sleeves have open upper and lower ends. The open lower ends are internally threaded. Four leg portions are provided with each having threaded upper ends. The threaded upper ends couple with the open lower ends of the circular sleeves for elevating the circular grill portion above a recipient surface. A pair of forked posts are provided with each having lower ends. The lower end of the forked posts are received within the open upper ends of diametrically opposed circular sleeves. A crank spit extends between upper forked ends of the pair of forked posts. One end of the crank spit has a handle disposed thereon. The crank spit has a pair of claws disposed thereon in a facing relationship.

Claims

1. An outdoor adjustable grill for grilling over an open wood fire with numerous options comprising, in combination:

a circular grill portion having four circular sleeves secured to an outer periphery thereof, the four circular sleeves being disposed at ninety degree intervals, the circular sleeves having open upper and lower ends, the open lower ends being internally threaded;

four leg portions each having threaded upper ends, the threaded upper ends coupling with the open lower ends of the circular sleeves for elevating the circular grill portion above a recipient surface;

a skewer assembly having a cylindrical tube extending downwardly therefrom, a lower end of the cylindrical tube received within the open upper end of one of the circular sleeves, the cylindrical tube having an open upper end, the cylindrical tube having a pair of arms extending upwardly in an angular relationship thereto, the pair of arms having a horizontal arm extending therebetween, the horizontal arm having a plurality of notches formed therein;

a heat guard assembly having an L-shaped configuration, the heat guard assembly having an inner vertical plate and an outer horizontal plate, the outer horizontal plate having an aperture therethrough, the outer horizontal plate having a cylindrical sleeve extending downwardly therefrom in communication with the aperture, the cylindrical sleeve having a cylindrical tube extending outwardly of an open lower end thereof, a set screw extending through the cylindrical sleeve for engaging the cylindrical tube, a lower end of the cylindrical tube received within the open upper end of one of the circular sleeves diametrically opposed from the skewer assembly, the inner vertical plate having a plurality of notches formed therein, the plurality of notches of the inner vertical plate being aligned with the plurality of notches of the skewer assembly to allow a plurality of skewers to transverse therebetween;

a pair of forked posts each having lower ends, the lower end of one of the forked posts received within the open upper end of the cylindrical tube of the skewer assembly, the lower end of an opposed fork post received within the aperture and the cylindrical sleeve of the heat guard assembly; and

a crank spit extending between upper forked ends of the pair of forked posts, one end of the crank spit having a handle disposed thereon positioned above the heat guard assembly, the crank spit having a pair of claws disposed thereon in a facing relationship.

2. An outdoor adjustable grill for grilling over an open wood fire with numerous options comprising, in combination:

a circular grill portion having four circular sleeves secured to an outer periphery thereof, the four circular sleeves being disposed at ninety degree intervals, the circular sleeves having open upper and lower ends, the open lower ends being internally threaded;
