ABSTRACT:
A charcoal cooker has a cooker bowl and a lid dimensioned to cover the bowl during cooking. Food is supported within the cooker on a support structure such as a rotisserie rod or a grid. A primary grate is disposed within the bowl below the food support structure and is configured to support a charcoal fire and an upper grate is disposed at an elevation within the bowl above the primary grate but below the food support structure. The upper grate is configured to support a charcoal fire and is spaced from the primary grate at a sufficiently small distance so that a charcoal fire on the primary grate will ignite charcoal disposed on the upper grate. In this manner a long lasting charcoal fire may be achieved by starting a fire on the primary grate and placing fresh charcoal on the upper grate for subsequent ignition and burning. An ash pan is dimensioned to fit snugly below the primary and upper grate for catching ash and reflecting heat, and through the use of a lower front vent and an upper rear vent, an upwardly and rearwardly directed airflow is achieved which facilitates transfer of heat from the area of the primary grate to the upper grate.
