Portable cooking device with vertically arranged hearth
First Claim
1. A cooking device comprising:
- a body having walls defining a heating chamber and having an open top,a main food supporting grill mounted on said body in a generally horizontal manner so as to span at least a portion of said open top,walls extending generally upwardly from portions of said body, said walls including opposing side walls and a rear wall structure extending between said side walls,a grate located between said side walls and in spaced relation to said rear wall structure so as to define a generally vertically arranged fire chamber for holding a source of heat generating fuel,a secondary food supporting grill located between said side walls, forwardly of said grate, and above and generally parallel to said main grill,whereby, when fuel is generating heat in said fire chamber, heat is reflected from said rear wall structure and (1) convects from said fire chamber to said heating chamber and generally upwardly through said main grill and secondary grill and (2) radiates generally outwardly from said fire chamber to said main grill and secondary grill.

Abstract
A portable cooking device includes a body defining a heating chamber and having an open top. A main food supporting grill is mounted on the body in a generally horizontal manner so as to span at least a portion of the open top. Walls extend generally upwardly from portions of the body. The walls include opposing side walls and a rear wall extending between the side walls. A grate is mounted between the side walls and is in spaced relation to the rear wall so as to define a generally vertically arranged fire chamber for holding a source of heat generating fuel. A secondary food supporting grill is mounted between the side walls, forwardly of the grate and above and generally parallel to the main grill. Whereby, when fuel is generating heat in the fire chamber, heat is reflected from the rear wall structure and (1) convects from the fire chamber to the heating chamber and generally upwardly through the main grill and secondary grill and (2) radiates generally outwardly from the fire chamber to the main grill and secondary grill.

13. A cooking device comprising:
-
a body having walls enclosing a heating chamber and having an open top, a main food supporting grill mounted on said body in a generally horizontal manner so as to span at least a portion of said open top, walls extending generally upwardly from portions of said body, said walls including opposing side walls and a rear wall structure extending between said side walls, an elongated rod mounted with respect to at least one of said side walls for rotational movement with respect thereto, said rod being disposed forwardly of and generally adjacent to said grate, and above said main grill, said rod being constructed and arranged to hold food for roasting, and a grate mounted between said side walls and in spaced relation to said rear wall structure so as to define a generally vertically arranged fire chamber for holding a source of heat generating fuel, said fire chamber being generally adjacent to and in communication with said heating chamber such that when fuel is generating heat in said fire chamber, heat reflects from said rear wall structure and (1) convects, with horizontal and vertical components, from said fire chamber to said heating chamber and generally upwardly through said main food supporting grill and (2) radiates generally outwardly from said fire chamber to said main grill. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A cooking device comprising:
-
a body having walls enclosing a heating chamber and having an open top, first and second main food supporting grill portions mounted on said body in a generally horizontal manner so as to span at least a portion of said open top, walls extending generally upwardly from portions of said body, said walls including opposing side walls, and a pair of spaced grates located between said side walls and said first and second grill portions so as to define a generally vertically arranged fire chamber for holding a source of heat generating fuel, said fire chamber being generally adjacent to and in communication with said heating chamber such that when fuel is generating heat in said fire chamber, heat (1) convects, with horizontal and vertical components, from said fire chamber to said heating chamber and generally upwardly through said first and second main food supporting grill portions and (2) radiates generally outwardly from said fire chamber to said first and second main food supporting grill portions.
