Abstract
A portable gas-fired barbecue unit having a grate assembly for supporting a bed of ceramic coals between a gas burner and a cooking grill. The grate assembly includes upper stringers having a central channel to catch food drippings and side flanges to support the ceramic coals. Lower stringers with channels are arranged to catch any drippings missed by the upper stringers. All stringers are sloped toward one end where means is provided to collect the drippings. The assembly intercepts both food drippings and gas combustion products to produce radiant cooking energy and flavoring smoke while catching excess drippings to prevent fouling of the burner.
