Abstract
Abstract A portable cooking stove including a cooking chamber having interior removable side guide panels. The assembled guide panels have opposed parallel pairs of slide rails adapted to receive food receptacles or fuel receptacles having opposite side portions or flanges slidably engaging the rails. The slide panels are also provided with longitudinal rod guide members, preferably tubular, for removably receiving elongated rods, which are also received through aligned holes or openings in the front and rear walls of the chamber. The stove also preferably includes front, back, side, top and bottom walls hinged together for collapsing into a dis-assembled position for storage or transportation.
