Abstract:

An outdoor cooking stove assembly includes a burner tube, a plurality of support legs and a fuel supply pipe. The burner tube is adapted to receive fuel from the fuel supply pipe through an open lower end portion of the burner tube. The fuel is ignitable within a combustion chamber of the burner tube such that a sustained flame projects upwardly through the burner tube and out from an upper end portion thereof. One support leg is fixedly mounted to the burner tube while the other support legs are pivotally mounted thereto. Each pivotally mounted support leg is pivotally movable relative to the burner tube and fixedly mounted support leg between first and second angularly-spaced positions. Each pivotally mounted support leg in the first position is disposed adjacent and in a generally parallel relationship to the fixedly mounted support leg such that the assembly is in a collapsed condition for storage and transport of the assembly. Each pivotally mounted support leg in the second position is spaced remote and disposed about 120 degrees apart from one another and from the fixedly mounted support leg such that the assembly is in an erected condition for use of the assembly and such that cookware may be placed on top of the support legs and thereby be spaced above but disposed adjacent to the upper end portion of the burner tube in communication with the flame of the burner tube.
