An improved foldable barbecue apparatus movable between an operating (substantially horizontal) and storage (substantially vertical) condition adapted to substantially minimize leakage of fats and/or oils produced by foodstuffs therefrom in both an operating and stored condition, the apparatus including: a housing that supports a grill and/or hot plate over a combustion chamber, the grill including a gap in a portion thereof and being sloped towards the gap for egress of fats and/or oils applied to the grill or produced by foodstuffs on the grill; a fats and/or oil receptacle removably mounted to a portion of the housing beneath the combustion chamber, wherein the fat receptacle, housing and grill form a cavity which defines a first fat and/or oil pathway between the gap and the receptacle; wherein the fat receptacle includes a recessed head portion and a tray portion, whereby the tray portion acts as a first reservoir for receiving and storing fat and/or oils in an operating condition, and wherein in a storage condition the recessed head portion acts as a second reservoir for receiving and storing fats and/or oils from the tray portion. |
