Abstract

The invention relates to an outdoor cooking system which is portable and collapsible, and which is adaptable for use as a fuel ignitor, as a food warmer and as a cook stove. The system includes an upstanding combustion tube which incorporates an elongate, tubular fire chamber and a plurality of flaps extending perimetrically from at least one of the fire chamber's ends. The flaps are pivotally adjustable so as to accommodate control over the fire chamber's intake and outflow of air. Food is cooked using a conventional cooking utensil which rests across the upper opening of the tube. A radial tray extends about the perimeter of the fire chamber.
