Benefits of technology

The portable cooker described in this patent has side shelves that can be stored outside of the cooking chamber, so they don't get messy or damaged. This allows for easy cleaning and storage without having to remove the grill.

Problems solved by technology

Nor will the shelves be damaged if they are moved to the storage position before the grill has been allowed sufficient time to cool.

Abstract

A portable cooker for outdoor use having one or two side shelves which can be moved to a compact upright stowage position for carrying, storage or transport and can then be deployed to a horizontal position when using the portable cooker for cooking at a campsite, at a park, on a boat, at a tail-gate party, or at any other location. In the upright stowage position, the side shelves are located outside of the cooking chamber so that the shelves do not come into contact with the cooking grate and do not pick up food particles, grease, or other cooking residues which are present on the cooking grate or elsewhere in the cooking chamber. Also, because the side shelves are not folded into the cooking chamber during carrying or transport, the portable cooker can additionally include an interior warming rack and other features which are used in “non-portable” grills but would interfere with the operation of the side shelves of the portable grill if the shelves were required to be folded into the cooking chamber.
