Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0076381A1] A gas-fired or briquette-burning barbecue grill (10) that produces high BTUs from a removable, vertical firebox (50) that may be backwardly inclined so as to provide a combination of direct and indirect heating. Multiple cooking grids (42, 44) positioned at various vertical levels provide an enormous cooking area for flame-broiling, grilling, and roasting. Inclination minimizes ash avalanche during briquette burning and also increases the effective heating area applied to multiple cooking grids (42, 44). A top grid (42) located directly over the firebox provides a surface high-temperature cooking (i.e., direct heating). A pair of opposed insulated sidewalls (17) one on each side of a central heating area help confine heat in and about the cooking grids and may also support a removable main cooking grid (46).
