Abstract
An adjustable shutter grate for barbecue grills is disclosed having a lower grate member and an upper grate member. The grate members have generally identical patterns of slots formed therethrough with generally identical patterns of bars delimiting the slots. The upper grate is slidable with respect to the lower grate such that the slots may be in complete registry to allow full heat transmission therethrough or the bars of the upper grate may be disposed to overlie the slots of the lower grate, thereby preventing flare-ups in the fire box from burning the food being cooked or to extend cooking time.
