Abstract
A barbecue device is disclosed, which includes a cooking support member in the form of a slightly concave plate or grid. A support is pivotally connected to the rim of the cooking support member with the support being rotatable from a stowed position, at which the support overlies the upper surface of the cooking support member, to an operating position, at which the support extends downwardly from the cooking support member. A handle is pivotally connected to the rim of the cooking support member with the handle being able to be rotated from a stowed position, at which the handle overlies the upper surface of the cooking support member to retain the support thereon, to an operating position at which the handle extends outwardly from the cooking support member. The handle includes an extension adapted to extend beneath the cooking support member in the operating position, which also acts as a stop against further pivotal movement of the handle. The dimensions of the handle and the support are such that when the support and the handle are in their respective stowed positions, the handle overlies the support and prevents rotation thereof.
