Abstract
In a grill for cooking, of the type popularly used for outdoor barbequeing, wherein a gas flame is used as a heat source, a meat support is provided, and a grizzly is positioned between the heat source and the meat support, on which grizzly non-flamable "briquettes" are scattered, a plurality of aluminum briquettes are used, arranged in spaced relation to one another through at least a part of their perimeter, so as to provide a plurality of heat-communicating channels between the heat source and the meat support. The aluminum briquettes are preferably provided with a broad convex surface which for high heats is oriented toward the meat support, which surface is provided with liquid-retaining means, in the form of channels, pits or the like. A broad flat surface is preferably provided to be oriented toward the meat support for cooking at lower heats, the flat face preferably being provided with distributing channels.
