Abstract

Abstract A portable compactly stored outdoor cooking stand can be used either with a self-contained charcoal compartment or over an open campfire, and can cook in many cooking modes including, open flame grilling, frying, steaming, boiling, baking, etc. Thus, a stand for straddling a campfire site vertically arranges one or more of three encompassed cooking utensils, namely a grill cooking surface, a pan for holding food or charcoal, and a vented cover for release of smoke, fumes, or steam. The pan and cover mate to form a portable suitcase-like carrying case with a handle that contains all the other elements for transport and compact storage when not in use.
