ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cooking foods which is a combination of an outdoor grill and an optional smoker attachment. The grill itself is of a type having a container with an open top, a closed bottom, front and rear sidewalls for holding heat-retaining lava rock. A hinged lid which is removable is attached to the grill for retaining heat within the container. A removable grate is selectively disposed inside of the container above the lava rock when the device is to be used as a grill for holding foods directly up above the lava rock and such grate is removable when the device is to be used for smoking foods. When the apparatus is to be used as a smoker, a metal cabinet having a rear wall, a pair of sidewalls connected to the rear wall, a removable front wall and a top wall is placed upon the container and has an open bottom so that the heat from the lava rock will be trapped within such metal cabinet. A tray is disposed just above the lava rock for holding wood chips which will generate smoke for flavoring the food being smoked. Slots on the rear wall of the metal cabinet and hooks on the sidewall are are provided for holding the metal cabinet onto the grill in a proper position. A plurality of grates are positioned in an upper part of the metal cabinet for holding foods during the smoking process. An optional small door is provided in the front wall of the cabinet for inserting additional wood chips as might be necessary, without losing the majority of the smoke within the cabinet.
