Abstract

A barbecue grill has a heating compartment and a plenum chamber disposed proximate to the heating compartment. The plenum chamber has a central vent for providing access to the central portion of the heating compartment and a pair of opposed side vents to provide access to the two opposed side portions of the heating compartment. A recirculation fan is disposed proximate to the central vent. The recirculation fan is adapted to draw hot gases from the central portion of the heating compartment into the plenum and drive those gases via the plenum into the side portions of the heating compartment via the pair of opposed side vents.
