A barbecue with spit functionality, the barbecue including: a barbecue body having a first opening and a second opening; a first spit support member mounted in the first opening and settable at a storage position, in which the first spit support member is substantially contained within the barbecue body, or one or more use positions, in which the first spit support member at least partially protrudes from the barbecue body; a second spit support member mounted in the second opening and settable at a storage position, in which the second spit support member is substantially contained within the barbecue body, or one or more use positions, in which the second spit support member at least partially protrudes from the barbecue body; and a spit rod releasably engageable with the first and second spit support members when the first and second spit support members are in their respective use positions.

An automated grill system includes a food product dispensing system for dispensing uncooked food product; a dual-sided grill system for cooking the uncooked food product; a staging system for receiving cooked food product; and a non-continuous indexed conveyor belt for conveying the uncooked food product from the food product dispensing system to the dual-sided grill system and for conveying the cooked food product from the dual-sided grill system to the staging system.

A grill roller system which is elevated with respect to a grilling surface and which may be freely swung between multiple positions. The grill roller system generally includes a base which is positioned or connected to a grill. A frame is pivotally connected to the base such that the frame may swing, pivot, or rotate between a plurality of positions including a first position which covers the grilling surface and a second position which exposes the grilling surface. A plurality of rollers on the frame may be utilized to rotate and evenly cook cylindrical food items such as hot dogs while other food items such as steaks are simultaneously cooking on the underlying grill surface. The system may also include a rotator assembly for automatically or manually rotating the rollers.

A rotary barbeque apparatus with a forward-reverse motor includes a machine, a cover, a barbeque tray, an electric heating tray, a temperature detection device, and a barbeque rack. A drive motor is installed at an end of the barbeque rack. The temperature detection device includes a temperature sensor and a temperature control device. The temperature sensor transmits a detected temperature to the temperature control device through a transmission cable. The drive motor is a forward-reverse motor. The temperature sensor is a probe directly inserted into a barbeque food for detecting the temperature of the barbeque food, so that a user may determine whether or not the food is cooked to effectively prevent the barbeque food from producing harmful chemical substances by a too-high temperature. To prevent damaging the transmission cable of the temperature sensor in the rotation of the barbeque rack, a forward-reverse rotating drive motor is adopted.

The present invention discloses a grill with an external burner, wherein a burner is arranged at a functional opening below an integrally formed grill body so that air at the functional opening is heated when the burner burns, and the heated air rises to achieve heating up of a grill cavity; in addition, the air below the functional opening enters the functional opening under the action of air pressure to provide sufficient oxygen for the corresponding burner to ensure more sufficient combustion to improve energy conversion efficiency.

The invention relates to a barbeque construction kit. The kit includes a frame for placing over a heat source and a manual grid flip-over device which is mountable onto the frame. The kit also includes a rotisserie motor which is mountable onto the frame. The kit further includes at least one cooking accessory attachable to any one or both of the manual grid flop-over device and rotisserie motor.

A rotisserie grill cooker has a base, a support post, a cantilevered rail, a cage-drive assembly, and a firepit. Together these enable a user to suspend a rotating food rack over a heat source. Specifically, the base is a rigid structure to which one end of the support post is pivotably connected. The cantilevered rail extends away from the support post over the heat source. The cantilevered rail is positioned offset from the base along the support post, so the food rack can be suspended in between the cantilevered rail and the firepit that traverses through the base. The cage-drive assembly is a motorized support system, is slidably engaged along the cantilevered rail, and rotates the food rack. The support assembly has a carriage that is connected in between a drive system and the cantilevered rail. The heat source is within the firepit and heats the food rack.

A roasting system for roasting agricultural products (e.g., chili) includes a barrel-basket having a beveled, open-ended rim that allows for easy loading and unloading of agricultural product. The beveled, open-ended rim helps keep the agricultural product from falling out during rotation and when in use for roasting. A support yoke integrated with a U-frame and can be rotatably coupled to a closed end of the barrel-basket, opposite the beveled, open-ended rim. The support yoke enables the barrel-basket to be adjusted by the operator via a control arm. A burner array can be disposed in association with the U-frame and configured to enable flame emitting therefrom to be directed towards and into the barrel-basket. The control arm can be coupled to the U-frame to provide pivoting motion of the barrel-basket into a variety of set positions during operation for loading the agricultural product into the barrel-basket through the beveled, open-ended rim, roasting the agricultural product at various angles in reference to the burner array, and for unloading the agricultural product from the barrel-basket through the beveled, open-ended rim without the need to stop rotation of the barrel-basket or requiring handling of the barrel-basket directly in any way.

Rotisserie forks and a basket for use on a motorized elongated spit rod having a central axis and a sharpened tip, wherein the forks or basket have a) a split shaft collar having an opening that slidably receives the spit rod and has an inside diameter, and b) a lever-action quick-release clamp that surrounds the shaft collar, has open and closed lever positions, and which when open enables the shaft collar and fork or basket to move along the spit rod central axis, and which when closed reduces the shaft collar inside diameter so that the fork or basket does not move along the spit rod central axis during rotisserie grilling.

A grilling assembly for grilling over an open flame includes a frame that is tripoidal. A shaft is rotationally coupled by a first end to the frame. The shaft extends from proximate to an apex of the frame toward a base of the frame. A power module and a motor are coupled to the frame. The motor is operationally coupled to the power module and the shaft. The motor is positioned to rotate the shaft. A grate is coupled to a second end of the shaft. The grate is configured to position substantially horizontally over an open flame, such as a campfire. The grate is positioned to rotate coincident with the shaft such that food items that are positioned on the grate are positioned to be heated by the open flame.
