Abstract A portable barbecue unit mounted on wheels in the form of a rectangular shaped housing, open to the top, with a grill detachably mounted on a pair of external vertically slidable members that are pivotally mounted to a handle structure extending from an end of the housing. The handle structure is pivotally mounted to the housing through slots in the handle arms so that the grill may be elevated by downward manual pressure on the handle and tilted as desired with respect to the horizontal plane. A slidable tray is mounted beneath a grate in the housing, with the tray serving to catch ashes. A pair of shelf members are slidably mounted to the bottom of the housing to form opposed shelves when each is extended beyond the respective end of the housing.
A barbecue unit in the form of a housing mounted on support legs, said housing shaped as a rectangular box, open to the top, fitted with a grill detachably resting on pair of support members above the open top of the housing, with each support member externally slidably and pivotally mounted to an opposed side of the housing, and a pair of lever means, each pivotally and slidably mounted to an opposite side of the housing and each pivotally mounted to an individual support member, with both said lever means externally joined together by a handle, such that manual manipulation of said handle serves to pivot said lever means so as to elevate or lower the grill resting on the support members, and to also pivot said grill in a plane at a desired angle to the plane of the open top of the housing, together with fastener means to alternatively restrain or to free each support member with regard to motion of the support member with respect to the side of the housing to which it is slidably mounted.
