Solid fuel cook system

Abstract

A vertically disposed charcoal type grill or cook system with an insulated wall, includes concentric design mechanisms for completely surrounding the food material by the solid heat source. The systems provide for a removable fuel basket which carries the fuel material and a set of interchangeable and removable food basket that carry the food to be cooked internal to the fuel system. The grill is covered with a top possessing a reflective under surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 ) A food cooker for cooking food, said cooker comprising:
 a main housing,   an insulation element disposed internally adjacent to side walls of said housing,   a lower support element disposed in said housing,   a fuel grate disposed internally adjacent to the insulation element,   a food basket disposed internally adjacent to the fuel grate,   wherein heat emanates from burning of fuel in said fuel grate and said heat is disseminated to food in said food basket.   
     
     
         2 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , further comprising a central small fuel grate to heat the food from inside. 
     
     
         3 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , further comprising a cover with a curved bottom surface to reflect the heat to the food. 
     
     
         4 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , further comprising a cover with a bottom surface coated with a reflective material to reflect the heat to the food. 
     
     
         5 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein the fuel grate is a tiered fuel grate having said fuel placed at different vertical intervals. 
     
     
         6 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein the food being vertically placed does not stick to the fuel grate. 
     
     
         7 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one adjustable vent on cover of said cooker to control the flow of air and hot gases. 
     
     
         8 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one ash release vent disposed on bottom of said main housing. 
     
     
         9 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , further comprising an ignition chamber below the main housing. 
     
     
         10 ) The cooker according to  claim 9 , further comprising an ash collector disposed below the ignition chamber. 
     
     
         11 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of fixed or collapsible support legs. 
     
     
         12 ) The cooker according to  claim 10 , wherein drippings from food drop directly onto ash collector or ignition chamber without any contact with the fuel in the fuel grate. 
     
     
         13 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein the main housing element is made of one or more of the following materials: cast iron, steel or an inherently rigid material. 
     
     
         14 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein shape of the main housing element is cylindrical or polygonal. 
     
     
         15 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein the main housing element, said insulation element, said fuel grate and said food basket are disposed concentrically within the cooker. 
     
     
         16 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein the insulation element is made of a heat resistant material. 
     
     
         17 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein the fuel in the fuel grate substantially completely surrounds the food material. 
     
     
         18 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein the food basket is implemented with interchangeable grates capable of holding a variety of foods including meats, chicken, fish, and vegetables. 
     
     
         19 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower support element mechanically disposed adjacent to the bottom of the main housing, supports the fuel grate, the food basket and ash release vents. 
     
     
         20 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower support element is circumferentially disposed and forms mechanical support for the fuel grate, the food basket and the insulation element. 
     
     
         21 ) The cooker according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower support element is a grate disposed at the bottom of the housing unit and forms mechanical support for the fuel grate, the food basket and the insulation element.
