Abstract:

An outdoor cooker for baking or broiling food articles includes a covered base within which there is rotatably supported a horizontal shaft above a combustion chamber. A plurality of food baskets are secured to the shaft and extend radially therefrom for movement only about the rotational axis of the shaft toward and away from the combustion chamber. The fuel is supported in a pair of slidably removable drawers that are disposed below and on opposite sides of the shaft, the spacing between the drawers defining a grease-drip space. The basket arrangement provides a high cooking capacity construction that eliminates turning over and basting the food, that minimizes the flaming of grease drippings, and the construction facilitating selective starting and stopping of the application of heat.
