A ceramic cooker support frame and transport device for holding, loading and unloading a ceramic cooker, smoker, or grill having a egg, cylindrical or spherical shape which includes a cooker holding pivotal frame with a freely swinging cooker basket and a detachable hand truck in order to maintain the cooker in an upright position during the loading and storage positions. The hand truck includes a frame with wheels and a locking handle to maintain the desired spacing between the support surface and the cooker supported by the elevated platform. The truck or dolly frame and locking handle are detachable from the cooker holding frame. The cooker frame and hand truck assembly are configured to be easily moved onto an elevated platform, for example, the bed of a truck or an elevated floor such as a raised patio or deck floor. The transport device facilitates cooking food for transport to a serving area.
