Abstract

A portable cooking apparatus is light, packable, compatible with back-country hiking, and is multi-functional for use over a heat source. An arm of the apparatus may elongate and shorten and may have an attachment system on the arm that allows the attachment of a plurality of food and drink holding attachments. The attachments may be coupled to a strap connected to a handle. The handle may include a compartment for holding parts of the apparatus or other articles so that the apparatus may be disassembled and stowed. A rotisserie mode enables rotation of food over an open flame. A rotisserie handle can be releasably coupled to the apparatus handle. The rotisserie handle can be placed in a locked condition to prevent rotation in a variety of cooking positions. A pivoting arm stabilizer enables cooking food to be horizontally pivoted to and from the heat source.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A portable grilling device for cooking over a heat source, the device comprising:
 an extending positional arm that is changeable between a shorter setting and a longer setting, wherein the extending positional arm is collapsible between a longer setting and a shorter setting, the extending positional arm thereby having a variable length;   an adapter portion on a distal end of the extending positional arm, wherein the adapter portion accepts a removably coupled food attachment; and   the removably coupled food attachment that attaches to the adapter portion on the distal end of the extending positional arm.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle coupled to the proximal end of the extending positional arm. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the extending positional arm is telescopic. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a stabilizing stand, wherein the positional arm is supported on the stabilizing stand for hands-free utility. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device has a plurality of extending positional arms that are telescopic. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein each of the extending positional arms comprises the adapter portion on the distal ends of the extending positional arms, wherein each adapter portion accepts removably coupled food attachments. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle adapted to be coupled to the at least one arm, wherein the handle has a compartment to hold the arm for easy compact storage. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the removably coupled food attachment is one of a fork, a sandwich sealing crust remover, a pot, a grill, a pie iron, and a Dutch oven. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the extending positional arm and the removably coupled food attachment are made of stainless steel. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the removably coupled food attachment attaches to the adapter portion by threads. 
     
     
         12 . A grilling device for cooking over a heat source, the device comprising:
 a positional arm that is telescopic and changeable between a shorter setting and a longer setting, wherein the positional arm collapses from a longer setting to a shorter setting and extends from a shorter setting to a longer setting, the positional arm thereby having a variable length;   an adapter portion attached to a distal end of the positional arm, wherein the adapter portion accepts, by threads, a removably coupled food attachment;   a handle attached to a proximal end of the positional arm;   the removably coupled food attachment that attaches, by threads, to the adapter portion on the distal end of the positional arm.   
     
     
         13 . The grilling device of  claim 12 , wherein the removably coupled food attachment is a fork. 
     
     
         14 . The grilling device of  claim 12 , wherein the positional arm is made of stainless steel. 
     
     
         15 . The grilling device of  claim 12 , wherein the handle is made out of wood. 
     
     
         16 . The grilling device of  claim 12 , wherein the handle further comprises a handle cord.
