Abstract
A barbecue apparatus intended primarily for outdoor use, in which two side panels and two end panels form a generally rectangular shaped body with an open top and bottom, and a rotatable grill is supported by the upper edge of the two end members in the upper part of said body consisting of two sections for holding meat therebetween. A basket or other elongated retainer is disposed in the bottom of the body for holding burning fuel for cooking the meat, and a lid, preferably hinged to the upper edge of one of the side panels of the body, closes the body while the meat is cooking to provide effective radiation of heat onto the meat and to direct the hot gases on and around the meat. The body and lid are preferably constructed of stainless steel which provides a reflective inner surface for directing the heat from the burning fuel onto the meat while the lid is in its closed position.
