Outdoor grill

Barbecue smoker front panel

A grilling device includes an oven section having an outer wall with opposing side portions and an encircling body portion extending therebetween. The body portion has an access opening and the grilling device includes a lid that selectively covers the access opening by means of a handle attached thereto. The grilling device also includes opposing hinge elements connected to opposite sides of the lid and to the side portions of the outer wall, as opposed to the encircling body portion. In particular, the hinge elements are connected to respective rear areas of the side portions. Accordingly, the path of opening the lid has a different shape or curvature and thereby positions the handle substantially lower than if the hinge elements were connected to the body portion adjacent to the access opening. The opposing side portions have a substantially oval shape and the hinge elements have an elongated configuration.

Grill rack systems include at least three grill racks and a mounting assembly for supporting the grill racks. The mounting assembly includes a plurality of grill rack mounting elements that are connectable to an inner surface of a grilling device. A grilling device with grill rack system includes an oven section having an outer wall that partially bounds an internal grilling compartment with an access opening and a lid that selectively covers the access opening. The grilling device also includes a grill rack system having at least three grill racks supported by a mounting assembly inside the internal grilling compartment. Oval-shaped grilling devices have the grill racks mounted therein in a vertically spaced configuration, with the front edge of each grill rack progressively recessed relative to an adjacent lower grill rack. At least one grill rack can have a removable grill rack insert and/or be slidable into the grill.

A grilling device includes an oven section and a warming cabinet in thermal communication with the oven section. The oven section is directly heated by a heating mechanism, but the warming cabinet is heated indirectly by heat transferred from the oven section. The warming cabinet is disposed below the oven section such that heat from the oven section is transferred passively via conduction and radiation into the warming cabinet and is transferred actively via forced air convection as an air moving element forces air past an optional heat sink and/or other heating component(s) and into the warming cabinet. The air moving element also provides air to ignite and maintain a burning fuel source of the heating mechanism. The grill can include a utility shelf disposed below the warming cabinet, the space between the utility shelf and the bottom of the warming cabinet defining a utility space.
