Abstract
A portable, outdoor cooking apparatus is provided which is capable of operating as both a stove and a barbecue grill. The cooking apparatus includes an elongated burner tube and a pivoting parabolic-shaped heat diffuser which can be rotated between an upright position in which the concave surface of the heat diffuser covers the burner tube for barbecue cooking and an inverted position in which the heat diffuser leaves the burner tube exposed directly to the cooking surface for stove cooking.
