Abstract
A rotating barbecue grill for uniformly and automatically cooking frankfurters, sausages, hamburgers, steaks, and other food items through the use of rotating rods or rollers defining a grilling surface. One of the rods is directly driven by a motor with the remaining rods rotating in unison by a crank-type drive mechanism. A hot plate is positioned adjacent one of the end rollers so that flat items of food, such as hamburgers, which cannot be turned between the rollers, are moved by the rollers to the hot plate and deposited thereon so as to keep them warm without overcooking.
