A barbecue grill includes a barrel and a supporting unit. The barrel includes multiple panels and two lugs. The panels are pivotally connected to one another so that the barrel is switchable between an extended position and a collapsed position. The lugs are formed on one of the panels. The supporting unit includes a frame and multiple loops. The frame includes two lateral sections and two pivots. The lateral sections extend parallel to each other. The pivots extend from the lateral sections, respectively. The pivots are inserted in the lugs when the lateral sections are released. The pivots are disengaged from the lugs when the lateral sections are moved relative to each other. The loops are located on and connected to the lateral sections.

A self-contained portable cooking system that prevents mess and facilitates storage and transportation. In one embodiment, a portable cooking system includes an outer container defining a chamber; and a cooking unit being configured to be entirely contained within the chamber of the outer container, the cooking unit being removable from the outer container. In one embodiment, a method of using a portable cooking system includes removing the cooking unit from the outer container, placing an open second end of a cooking column of the cooking unit on a support surface, and placing a cooking platform of the cooking unit on an open first end of the cooking column.

An electric cooking grill includes a firebox having a first and second heating elements, first and second cooking surfaces positioned over the first and second heating elements respectively, a household power connection, and a power dividing circuit that apportions power from the household power connection to one or both of the first and second heating elements. At least of the first and second heating elements receives up to 100% of the power from the household power connection.

Disclosed herein is a portable roaster used when outdoor cooking or camping is enjoyed. The portable roaster with improved portability and handleability can be changed into a single briefcase form so that it is easy for the user to carry it, can accommodate a windshield, a vertical transfer part, a charcoal plate, and a grill inside the body of the portable roaster so that meat can be grilled and eaten by, e.g., a barbecue grilling method outdoors through easy assembly, it is convenient to store portable roaster in a vehicle or warehouse, and the handling of the portable roaster is very convenient, and allows a cover to be used as a substitute for a table so that the portable roaster is highly versatile.

According to the present invention, there is provided a tunnel-shaped continuous barbecue apparatus including: more specifically, a main body having an opening portion at a center thereof; a conveyance unit that rotates and moves a barbecue unit, in which meat is put, with external power from one side to the other side of the main body and is formed at both ends of the opening portion of the main body in a length direction of the main body; heating units that are formed at regular intervals at a lower part on one side of the main body and heat the meat in the barbecue unit over direct fire through the opening portion of the main body; smoking units that are formed at regular intervals at the lower part on the other side of the main body and smoke and heat the meat by supplying smoke into the barbecue unit through the opening portion of the main body, the smoke being produced by burning a smoke material; and an exhaust unit that is provided above the main body and discharges smoke outside.

An automated kitchen assistant system inspects a food preparation area in the kitchen environment using a plurality of sensors or cameras. A trained model computes the identity and the location of the food item. In embodiments, the food items are on a grill, and the automated kitchen assistant system is operable to compute the time remaining to remove or flip each of the food items. The output may further be utilized to command a robotic arm, kitchen worker, or otherwise assist in food preparation. Related methods are also described.

A cooking system configured to minimize cross-winds while cooking a food product. The cooking system includes a cooking station, a griddle and a wind guard. The wind guard extends to define a barrier portion and an engaging portion, the engaging portion coupled to legs of the griddle so that, upon the griddle being placed onto the cooking station, the barrier portion blocks a gap between the griddle and a top side of the cooking station.

Disclosed herein are gas appliance with rotatable burners, where the gas burner thereof is movable between a plurality of positions such as use, dump, and down. Use position is that of the gas appliance being capable of being used for its intended purpose (e.g., gas burner in its operating position), and in the case of a brazier, the gas burner is facing up. Dump (i.e., a non-use) position refers to a gas burner position which dumps solid fuel by gravity. Down (i.e., a non-use) position refers to a gas burner position (e.g., for a top fired (e.g., radiant) gas burner) where the gas burner is facing upside down. A transducer monitors rotary shaft angular position to enable gas flow only when the gas burner is in the use position. For embodiment configured with partially aerated gas burner and a solid fuel crib, upon dumping of solid fuel, the solid fuel falls into an ash pan to enable its reuse or safe disposal.

The Outer frame has an upper ring that is 33.02 cm in diameter. This ring is attached to a lower ring that is 25.4 cm in diameter and are held together by 4 v shaped posts that rise 2.54 cm from the bottom ring to the height of the top but extends 1.27 cm at a 90 degrees angle.

The outer frame has a handle that is 3.81 cm at its widest point and is 20.32 cm in length.

The Inner grill

The second part is the inner grill that is circular in shape and fits inside the outer frame. It is 26.16 cm in diameter and sits on the lower ring which is a part of the outer frame. This circular grill is comprised of 3 parts, a center piece and two rotating ends on either side of the center piece. The flaps are usually 25.5 cm wide and 9.88 cm deep bur can be 10.73 cm to allow bigger opening. The grill has square pattern with each square being 8.33 cm in width. The rotating ends are attached to the inner piece by a hooked rod that acts as the hinges. The outer sides rotate up or down.

An all-purpose gas stove structure capable of increasing its air intake includes an all-purpose opening-covering case, an extended supporting frame, and at least one gas nozzle. The all-purpose opening-covering case includes an opening-covering case body for covering the heat source-receiving opening of a roasting/grilling device completely, and a gas controller with a gas operation unit for controlling the state of communication between gas input and output ends. The extended supporting frame is a box with a protective lid, is coupled to the inner side of the opening-covering case body at one end, and has a stove burner opening at the opposite end. The lateral walls of the protective lid are formed with vent holes. The gas nozzle is provided on the inner side of the stove burner opening. The all-purpose gas stove structure allows a ceramic roasting/grilling device to have a higher air intake and therefore produce higher heat.
