ABSTRACT:
A combination grill, smoker and fireplace device having a tapered configuration, where heat, smoke and/or gas upwardly passes through a tapered interior chamber and exits through a vent system. The tapered chamber collectively includes a heat source, a grate, one or more racks and a rack support means; and is configured to effectively reflect the heat smoke and/or gas at an optimal angle inhibiting the occurrence of radial bounce, reducing thermal bottlenecking, alleviating pressure buildup and increasing thermal efficiency. In an embodiment, the device incorporates a storage compartment to house equipment, accessories and/or materials therein. Alternatively, the device includes screen doors positioned behind the second set of doors being attached to an enclosure. The enclosure may act as a fireplace, grill or smoker and the chamber acts as an elongated chimney. In a further embodiment, the base of the device is closely located to the ash pan and acts as a deck to prohibit heat from being transferred to a flooring or ground surface.
