The main container housing includes a generally rectangular box shape basic housing assembly having a top lid member pivotally connected thereto. The food support assembly includes (1) a clean out tray member for receiving debris and food particles thereon; (2) a first inclined screen member to receive the food product thereon about to be removed therefrom; and (3) a second inclined screen member to hold the food product for initial heating before moving downwardly onto the first inclined screen member. The air flow and temperature control assembly includes a main blower assembly to receive inlet and transfer air; a heater assembly to receive air from the main blower assembly and heat same; and a circuit control assembly to control overall operation. The circuit control assembly includes a thermostat member operable to control operation of the main blower assembly and the heater assembly to provide for movement of the heated air from a lower portion of the main container assembly upwardly through the first and second inclined screen members to be discharged through holes in the top lid member.
