ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to cooking or grilling over an open fire.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Frequently, on camp outs and picnics, it is desirable to be able to cook or grill food over an open fire. While some camping facilities have a grill available, many times these grills are damaged, or require cleaning. Therefore, it is desirable to transport your own grill for use in the outdoors. However, such grills are often heavy and awkward to manipulate. Further, they tend to be fragile and easily damaged. Therefore, a need exists for an approved grill which has the advantages of ease-of-use, reduced weight and reliability.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a cooking and barbecue grill is disclosed which has first and second A-frame members. Each of the A-frame members has at least one angle member secured thereto. A top bar extends between the A-frame members and is secured thereto to form the grill. At least one cooking grid is supported between angle members on the A-frame members. A coarse mesh cooking grid and a fine mesh cooking grid can be provided.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the first and second A-frame members can be a continuous rod that is bent to form a first leg, a second leg and an upper connecting section. The A-frame members also have a pipe secured to the upper connecting section, with the pipe having a threaded aperture receiving a threaded member. The top bar passes through the pipe secured to the upper connecting section and is secured thereto by the threaded member. First and second angle irons are secured between the first and second legs of the A-frame member at a first and second distance from the upper connecting section, respectively. One leg of the angle irons extends upwardly to receive the cooking grid.
