Archer, V L

This patent describes an induced draft, solid fuel burning cooking apparatus comprising: wall means for defining a combustion chamber having an open upper end; food support means, extending across the combustion chamber, for supporting food items to be cooked by the apparatus; solid fuel support means, extending across the combustion chamber below the food support means, for supporting solid fuel to be burned within the combustion chamber; a laterally spaced series of air delivery tube means, extending generally horizontally within the combustion chamber beneath the solid fuel support means, for internally receiving an induced flow of ambient combustion air and delivery the received combustion air to burning a solid fuel operatively positioned on the solid fuel support means, the tube means having generally downwardly facing wall portions through which air outlet openings are formed, the tube means further being configured in a manner such that burning fuel within the combustion chamber draws combustion air from within the tube means downwardly through the outlet openings, upwardly and laterally outwardly across the exterior surface of the generally downwardly facing wall portions to cool the same and to laterally spread the combustion air flow,and then upwardly through the spaces between adjacent pairs of the tube means and onto the burning fuel.
