Kinoko

Abstract

The Kinoko is a three piece barbecue grill that uses a lower section as a small grill, or by adding the larger section, it becomes a large capacity grill or smoker. The lid is a bell shaped dome that will cover either section. By using the cast grill with the lower half, the Kinoko becomes a hibachi. Also the caste grill will also keep direct heat away from the meat in the smoking process, and allows the use of propane with the larger upper half The wok can be used to stir fry vegetables or as a fryer.

1 . a large half sphere cooking unit 24 inches across and 11 inches deep with the bottom removed leaving an opening of 16 inches across. This section has a grill upon which the food is cooked or smoked. This section sits upon the smaller section, using the smaller as the heat source.  
   
   
       2 . a smaller section that acts as the heat source for a larger grill section. The smaller section 18 inches across and 7 inches deep is also a smaller grill and with a caste grate it becomes a hibachi, and with the wok, it becomes a deep fryer. It has detachable legs for easy transport, vents to adjust air intake, and a side door in which to add fuel or wood chips.  
   
   
       3 . both sections can be covered by a bell shaped lid that is beveled to fit either the large section or the smaller section. The lid has a vent to adjust the air volume and a hook to hang it from either grill.
