The upper portion including heating elements supported by frame components of the cooking station and one or more heat shields suspended below the heating elements acting as a barrier to substantially prevent heat from reaching the lower portion of the main body. The lower portion of the main body defining a first storage space and a second storage space, the second storage space positioned below the first storage space, the second storage space exhibiting a drawer structure. The insulated insert is sized and configured to be removably positioned within the second storage space, the insulated insert defining a cubical type external structure to define a hollow space therein, the hollow space accessible through a lid member of the insulated insert.

An apparatus for regulating the temperature of a grill is disposed between a supply unit for gas and a gas outlet unit, which is part of the grill and is used for grilling the food, wherein the apparatus includes a control element for regulating the gas using a gas outlet regulator, which can generally be operated by hand. The apparatus includes at least one electronic regulation element, a regulation unit, as well as at least one sensor, wherein the regulation element includes a holding element and a transmitter element, wherein the holding element can be coupled with the mechanical control element of the grill, and the transmitter element, and thereby the mechanical control element, is adjustable as a function of the variable that is determined by the regulation unit.

Disclosed herein is a cooking apparatus having a cooking heat source; a grill grate having a grill grate surface, the grill grate being positioned over the cooking heat source; a griddle plate, the griddle plate being moveable between a cooking position and a stowed position, the griddle plate being positioned over the grill grate in the cooking position, and the griddle plate being lower than the plane of the grill grate surface in the stowed position; a counterbalance mechanism connected to the griddle plate; a support frame with a slot extending vertically through the support frame, and a lid, the lid having an open position and a closed position, with a portion of the lid extending through the slot when the lid is in the open position, and with the portion of the lid not extending through the slot when the lid is in the closed position.

Cooking apparatus for cooking food by a barbecue grilling method, comprises an outer housing receiving an inner housing which defines a heating volume. A chamber for pressurised air is defined between the outer and inner housings. Apertures in the inner housing allow pressurised air to exit the chamber into the heating volume. At least one burner is located in the inner housing. A combustible fuel/air mixture is supplied to the burner and this is separate from the supply of pressurised air to the chamber. A cooking surface is placed across the top of the heating volume to support food to be cooked.

A tailgate with an integrated grill includes a tailgate body pivotally secured to a rear end of a vehicle. A grill assembly disposed within an interior side of the tailgate body includes a grill grate positioned above a first heating element, a plurality of controls for operating the first heating element, and a pair of compartments positioned adjacent opposing sides of the grill grate. The compartments can be utilized for storing cooking utensils and for other purposes. A fuel supply is secured within a rear storage area of the vehicle. A fuel line coupled to the fuel supply extends through the interior side of the tailgate body and couples to the first heating element. The grill assembly may include additional heating elements such as a gas burners and electric heating elements. The plurality of controls may be utilized to select between different heating elements for different cooking options.

The present invention relates to a rotary roaster and, more specifically, to a rotary roster comprising: a roasting plate on which food ingredients are placed and roasted; a base member which supports the roasting plate; a rotating means which is installed in the base member to rotate the roasting plate; and a resistance mount, which is placed to be spaced apart from the upper surface of the roasting plate by a predetermined distance while being supported by the edge portion of the base member, and which, when the roasting plate is rotated, contacts and turns over the food ingredients placed on the roasting plate.

A grill for cooking food with a down firing burner affixed to the interior of the lid, above the food cooking surface. Below the food cooking surface is a clear panel that is easy to clean and may include a drain. There is no heat source below the cooking surface. Mechanical or electronic sensors automatically reduce the burner output when the lid begins to open or the handle is grasped anticipating that the lid is about to be opened.
