ABSTRACT:
Cooking apparatus includes apparatus to support food to be cooked. A housing surrounds a portion of the support apparatus and defines a portal through which food may be passed into the housing. A fireplace is disposed in the housing to support a fire that produces heated gas for cooking food. The fireplace may include a solid fuel burning grate to support solid fuel used as a flavor enhancing substance to the food being cooked with the grate having a body with apertures through which hot coal is discharged. A hot coal supporting device is disposed beneath the grate to receive the hot coals discharged from the solid fuel burning grate and has a body with apertures through which ash is discharged. An ash bin is disposed beneath the hot coal supporting device to receive the discharged ash. A heated gas passageway is provided in the housing to place the heated gas in fluid communication with an environment outside of a building in which the housing is disposed. A browning plate reflects heat toward the supporting device and is disposed in the housing in heat transfer relation with the heated gas passageway. The gas flow through the heated gas passageway is regulated in response to the heat being emitted through the portal defined in the housing and in response to the heat being transferred to the browning plate. An infrared heating source may be disposed in the housing to provide infrared heat to food on the support.
