Abstract
Abstract Different heads containing various arrangements of elongated prongs upon which food may be impaled are detachably securable to the end of a handle constructed of a plurality of elongated tubular telescopic sections. The prongs are parallel to the axis of the handle when the head is attached to the handle, and a wire mesh member is detachably securable to the prongs in such a manner as to form a perforated grill.
