Abstract
An indoor barbecue cooking device comprises a grill and a removeable oven cover so that the device can be used either as a barbecue grill or a barbecue oven. The device includes an electrically powered air blower which is selectively and automatically activated by either a thermostat or a photocell. When the device is used as a grill, the blower is automatically activated in response to the detection of an open flame by the photocell to blow the flame out so that the food is prevented from being burned. When the device is used as an oven, the blower is automatically activated by the thermostat when the selected temperature is exceeded, so that cooling air is blown into the oven to maintain the selected temperature.
