A barbecue apparatus includes an enclosure for containing a heat source and a mechanism for supporting the enclosure on a surface. A grill assembly including a grate member is disposed over the enclosure, and a grill assembly support device includes a pair of substantially vertical arms extending upwardly from opposite sides of the enclosure. A mechanism operatively interconnects the grate member with the vertical arms to guide movement of the grate member along the length of the arms. A rotatable shaft interconnects the vertical proximate the upper ends thereof, and a linkage arrangement interconnects the shaft and the grill assembly for selectively raising and lowering the grate relative to the enclosure. Finally, a mechanism is provided for tensioning the shaft and linkage arrangement relative to the vertical arms to permit selective positioning of the grate at any position along the vertical arms spaced from the enclosure thereby regulating the amount of heat reaching the grate from the heat source in the enclosure.
