A barbecue adapted for portability and being gas-fired. A parallel smoker plate assembly intermediate a gas burner and a cooking plane enhances heat transfer to provide even cooking heat across the entire cooking area. Each of two parallel plates in the smoker plate assembly have offset aperture patterns that facilitate the transfer of heat while preventing the accumulation of liquids from any food in the combustion chamber. A burner assembly with an open-ended tube receives fuel from a pressurized gas bottle having a regulator and discharge tube that readily connects to a detaches from one end of the barbecue. When detached, the gas bottle, regulator and discharge tube stow readily within the barbecue. Integral, pivotal leg structures lying within the combustion chamber shift between stowed positions where they are positioned interiorly of the exterior surface of a barbecue and supporting positions where they stably support the barbecue on a surface.

In a barbecue having a base means for forming a combustion chamber with a floor portion and support means spanning the combustion chamber for supporting food in a support plane generally parallel to said combustion chamber floor, the improvement of plate means intermediate the combustion chamber and the support means distributing heat, said plate means comprising first and second perforated flat plates and plate support means extending substantially perpendicularly to said plates for supporting said plates in a spaced relationship parallel to the support plane and wherein said plate support means includes first and second upstanding legs mounted substantially perpendicularly to to said combustion chamber floor portion, releasable clip means on said leg means for engaging a first of said flat plates through certain of the perforations therethrough and means for supporting said second plate means relative to said first plate means, said perforations in one of said plates being offset from the perforations in the other of said plates whereby heated air flows from the combustion chamber through said perforations in said first and second plates to heat said plate means and food on said support means.
