Abstract
A new and improved grill assembly for cooking over an open fire at a campsite comprising a stake from which a grill is cantilevered outwardly and suspended over an open fire. The stake is driven into the ground or guide wire supported as desired. The grill is rotatable about the stake and adjustable along the vertical length of the stake and securable at any height above the fire by a frictional engagement with the stake. The frictional engagement comprises a binding ring disposed about the stake that binds to the stake as a result of the center of gravity being radially outward from the stake. The grill also comprises accessory pieces such as a hook for hanging a cooking pot, a secondary grill platform for more grilling space, for warming, or for support for a cutting board, and a rotisserie attachment for slow roasting food. The accessories are each secured to the stake above the grill or below the grill, as desired, by frictional engagement with the stake. This frictional engagement is by a helical ring that can be attached or removed laterally or angularly instead of coaxially or longitudinally of the stake. The grill and each of the accessories each are of steel or iron construction, and corrosion and other wear scours and actually enhances the binding action of the frictional engagement means for the grill and each of the accessories.
