ABSTRACT:
An easily and conveniently portable barbecue grill in which the bowl has an outwardly and upwardly extending flange around its perimeter and the lid has an outwardly extending flange around its perimeter, which flanges cooperate to produce a secure attachment between the lid and the bowl when the lid is placed on the bowl in a certain way. In the preferred embodiment, the bowl flange has two or more indentations equally spaced around its perimeter to form a number of inwardly facing reentrant portions on that flange, and the lid flange has at least one gap in its perimeter. The lid may be securely attached to the bowl by (1) first positioning the lid with a full flange portion nested beneath an inwardly facing reentrant portion on the bowl flange and, as an example, a single gap on the lid flange positioned to span a reentrant bowl flange portion directly opposite, and (2) then rotating the lid a short angular distance to bring solid portions of the lid flange into nested positions under all the inwardly facing reentrant portions of the bowl flange. Although securely attached, the lid is seated loosely in the bowl flange when attached to the bowl in this way, and perimeter venting results because the construction of the grill means that supports foodstuffs to be cooked leaves ventilation spaces around the perimeter of the lid. With perimeter venting, vent openings may be omitted from the bowl and the bowl itself may then serve as an ash catcher. The bowl flange serves as a lip guard against accidental spattering or dripping of grease.
