Benefits of technology

[0005] The present disclosure provides a pellet-fired barbecue for cooking food using heat produced by combustion of a pellet fuel. The pellet-fired barbecue may include a standard, narrow-gauge wire food support and a fuel support, both encompassed within the barbecue grill body. The fuel support may be a substantially solid structure, having a minimum of open s

Problems solved by technology

However, the described barbecue grill may not be adequate for producing heat at a high level in a short period of time, or for utilizing a pellet fuel source.
As another potential drawback, charcoal briquettes used in a conventional barbecue grill in the described manner may stay hot for several hours after their intended usage period, making clean-up a difficult proposition.

Abstract

A pellet-fired cooking apparatus is provided. The cooking apparatus may include an outer shell into which are mounted at least a fuel support member and a food support member. Pellet fuel may be placed on the fuel support member and may be used to cook food placed on the food support member. The fuel support member may have a construction that allows for controlled combustion of the pellet fuel, providing for desired cooking characteristics of the pellet fuel. Intake air for combustion may be provided to the pellet fuel through one or more hollow supports for the cooking apparatus.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES [0001] No provisional patent application was filed for the subject matter of this disclosure. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE [0002] Barbecue grills or stoves are a popular way to prepare food away from the kitchen of a home. Typically, barbecue grills or stoves include a relatively open food support over a heat source, such as a collection of charcoal briquettes. The open food support, or grill, is commonly constructed of a number of horizontally disposed, parallel elements connected to a frame. In cases where charcoal briquettes are used as the heat source, those briquettes, too, may be supported on an open grill. Alternatively, the briquettes may rest upon a bottom surface of a shell making up the body of the barbecue grill or stove. [0003] The barbecue grill described above may be sufficient for cooking food over a collection of charcoal briquettes. However, the described barbecue grill may not be adequate for producing heat at a high level in a short period of tim...
