<p>A charcoal grill (100) includes a mechanism whereby a user may adjust the vertical distance between a fuel grate and a cooking grid by rotating a control knob (155) located on the surface of the charcoal grill. This mechanism provides a safer and more convenient way of adjusting the distance between the burning fuel and the food being cooked. The charcoal grill further includes a removable ash collector (135) located at the bottom of the charcoal grill. To empty ash a user slides the ash collector out form its position at the bottom of the charcoal grill, empties it, and then replaces it to resume ash collection. Thus a user may conveniently dispose of ash without the use of an ash sweep tool and without interruption operation. Furthermore the charcoal grill includes a metal skirt (300) inside its lower shell (140), which protects the lower shell of the charcoal grill from excessive heat, lengthening its operational life.</p> |
