Abstract

A barbecue kettle grill including an ash-catcher assembly for catching ash and debris falling through a centrally disposed opening in the bottom of the kettle is disclosed. The ash-catcher assembly further allows the opening and closing of an air draft in the bottom of the kettle. The kettle further includes a lid catch bracket for hanging the kettle lid on the base of the kettle when not in use, one or more handles having a substantially hollow interior supported by internal support ribs and attached to the kettle with insulating washers disposed therebetween in order to minimize heat transfer to the handles. The kettle grill further includes four legs comprised of two-legged tubular members, each having an attachment flange joining the two legs for attachment to the base of the kettle.
